Apparently someone in Hollywood is a fan of writer Jo Nesbo.

Following the upcoming adaptation of Nesbo’s novel, The Snowman, Summit is getting in the thriller game, as according to Deadline, the studio has tapped Anvil! The Story Of Anvil director Sacha Gervasi to direct an adaptation of the author’s novel, Headhunters.

The book follows a “corporate headhunter steals valuable artwork from the homes of his applicants. After his latest heist goes awry, the headhunter finds himself in over his head and caught up in a murderous scheme.”

Personally, I think that this is definitely an interesting little bit of news. Gervasi is a really solid filmmaker, despite how little a fan I was of his work on Anvil. The premise is intriguing enough to make for one hell of a great film, so hopefully we’ll be in for something special here.
