Brian Kirk Will Direct JAR CITY Remake

Brian Kirk Game of Thrones director Brian Kirk has a new job. This time, he will bring us a remake of the Icelandic crime drama titled Jar City. Originally directed by Baltasar Kormakur in 2006, this movie definitely has it all, and by all I mean – a detective, an unsolved rape and a new murder. You know, the usual criminal stuff… Actually, the original movie centered on a world-weary cop who believes that a recent murder of an elderly man is linked to a case of rape three decades earlier. He must try to solve that puzzle and put the pieces together, and that, my friends, is not an easy job for our detective. The whole thing is based on an Icelandic bestseller Mýrin, which is a novel written by Arnaldur Indriðason. And, just in case this already sounds familiar to you, I will just remind you that Jar City remake has already been in the works (set at Overture Films, by the way). Unfortunately, that never worked out, so now we have Universal behind Kirk’s version and Kormakur on board to produce the project. Hopefully, that combination sounds promising!
