Variety is reporting that two-time Academy Award nominee Michael Fassbender (12 Years a Slave, Steve Jobs) is in talks to portray real-life Austrian serial killer Jack Unterweger in Broad Green Pictures’ Entering Hades.
Broad Green will produce Entering Hades alongside Storyscape Entertainment’s Bob Cooper (John Tucker Must Die) and Richard Saperstein (1408) as well as Conor McCaughan and Daniel Emmerson of Fassbender’s DMC Film.
Fassbender recently completed work on another serial killer story, The Snowman, for director Tomas Alfredson.
Based on John Leake’s true crime novel, the film will chronicle celebrated journalist Unterweger as he investigates murders while himself killing eleven people across several continents.
