Martin Scorsese wants to make The Snowman, but sadly this has nothing to do with Raymond Briggs’ classic that been part of Channel 4’s Christmas schedule for the past 29 years. Indeed it’s about as far away as you can get, as it’s an adaptation of a Norwegian novel, with the only thing linking these very different Snowmen being the cold.
The Snowman will be based on the seventh in Jo Nesbø’s series about a detective called Harry Hole, which revolves around a missing woman whose pink scarf is found wrapped around an ominous-looking snowman. As Hole begins his investigation, he discovers that the crime appears to be the work of a serial killer. Matthew Michael Carnahan (State of Play, World War Z, The Kingdom) is scripting.
Scorsese hasn’t signed on the dotted line to make The Snowman, but Variety says he is now seriously considering helming it as his next project. However as he also has everything from a film about Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton to the gangster movie The Irishman percolating, there are no guarantees he’ll make The Snowman next.
