The film will be helmed by Nora Fingscheidt, whose directorial debut System Crasher is set to represent Germany at the 2020 Academy Awards.
After landing Oscar winner Sandra Bullock (Bird Box) to star in the lead role in early November, Netflix’s upcoming adaptation of the acclaimed 2009 British drama series Unforgiven has expanded its cast with the additions of Oscar winner Viola Davis (Fences), The Fall‘s Aisling Franciosi and Daredevil‘s Rob Morgan, according to Deadline.
Though McQuarrie is no longer attached as director of the project, his script will still be used for the film, which is being produced by King through his banner GK Films alongside Bullock for Fortis Films and Veronica Ferres for Construction Film.
