Ridley Scott will re-team with the studio that helped him unleash the “Aliens”, FOX, for “Child 44”, a tense thriller based on the [as-yet-unreleased] novel of the same name.
Set in Stalinist Russia, Variety says the film revolves around an officer in the secret police who is framed by a colleague for treason. On the run with his emotionally estranged wife, he stumbles upon a series of child killings and launches his own rogue investigation, even though it means risking his own capture.
Scott, whose next film is the cool-looking “American Gangster”, is producing via his Scott Free Banner; Fox2000 will distribute.
