Michael Fassbender in talks for The Snowman

Michael Fassbender is in talks to star in a film adaptation of “The Snowman”, the crime novel by Jo Nesbo.

Tomas Alfredson will direct the film from Soren Sveistrup’s screenplay.

A part of Nesbo’s ‘Harry Hole’ series, “The Snowman” is described on the author’s site as follows:

One night, after the first snowfall of the year, a boy named Jonas wakes up and discovers that his mother has disappeared. Only one trace of her remains: a pink scarf, his Christmas gift to her, now worn by the snowman that inexplicably appeared in their yard earlier that day. Inspector Harry Hole suspects a link between the missing woman and a suspicious letter he’s received. The case deepens when a pattern emerges: over the past decade, eleven women have vanished—all on the day of the first snow. But this is a killer who makes his own rules . . . and he’ll break his pattern just to keep the game interesting, as he draws Harry ever closer into his twisted web.
