HOLD THE DARK: Jeremy Saulnier Will Direct Adaptation Of Novel

The Wrap is reporting that Jeremy Saulnier, director of Murder Party, Blue Ruin and Green Room, will work again with producer A24 and his Blue Ruin star Macon Blair on an adaptation of William Gilradi's novel Hold the Dark. Blair is adapting the novel to script. 

"Hold the Dark" is an intense tale of fate, family, and revenge set in the remote Alaskan wilderness.  When a child is taken from his village by a pack of wolves, an expert hunter is summoned to track and destroy them. His mission leads him down an increasingly dark and shocking path as he confronts the cruelty of nature and his own failures as a man. With the child's grief-crazed father closing in behind him and a fierce, unforgiving landscape ahead, the question becomes, who is really being hunted?

A24 produced Green Room and Blair first worked with Saulnier on his feature debut film Murder Party.
