Martin Scorsese is officially onboard to direct The Snowman! The film adaptation will be scripted by Matthew Michael Carnahan, the scribe partly (or fully) responsible for political dramas/thrillers such as The Kingdom, Lions for Lambs, and State of Play; he also co-wrote the upcoming World War Z adaptation.

Greetings from Thailand
“Like Thai cuisine, Burdett’s comic thriller blends spicy, sour, salty and sweet—and makes for a delicious wake-up for jaded palates.” —People
