Fassbender Vs. Serial Killer In “The Snowman”

It looks like Michael Fassbender is working with a strong schedule these days, coming off filming Assassin’s Creed, another X-Men movie and even another Prometheus movie is planned.  In between these will be the serial killer thriller “The Snowman”.

The Snowman, which will be directed by Tomas Alfredson (Let The Right One In) “centers on a detective named Harry Hole who investigates the disappearance of a young boy’s mother. All that is left of her is the pink scarf her son gave her for Christmas, which is now wrapped around a snowman that mysteriously appeared in the front yard. As he digs deeper into the case, he comes to realize he may be tracking Norway’s first official serial killer.” There have been ten books in Jo Nesbo’s Harry Hole series so far and Universal/Working Title may be looking at this as a potential crime franchise centering around Michael Fassbender as Harry Hole. THE SNOWMAN has been in the works for several years, at one point Martin Scorsese was even attached to direct.

Good to see Fassbender is something with a bit more substance instead of leotards and other silly crap.  Slow West was a good picture.
