Adam Green, the talented horror helmer behind the likes of Hatchet and Spiral, has announced plans to shoot a thriller entitled Frozen.
According to Screen Daily, the literal chiller will revolve around three skiers who are forced to make life or death decisions when they find themselves stranded on a chairlift.
"Anyone who has skied before knows the fear that rushes through their heart when the chairlift momentarily stops," Green said. "Frozen will build on such primal fears as heights and freezing to death and take them to terrifying new levels."
Former Lionsgate head of acquisitions Peter Block will oversee the film through his brilliantly monikered new production company A Bigger Boat, and says he couldn't be more excited about the project.
"Frozen is the perfect first project for A Bigger Boat," Block explained. "A high concept thriller with a talented young filmmaker on board. Hatchet proved that Adam can direct fun horror comedy and attract an audience, but this project will show his ability to create a realistic, tension-filled thriller."
Casting is apparently underway, with production set to start early next year.
