David Slade Set to Direct ‘Cold Skin’

David Slade has attached himself to head up the direction on ‘Cold Skin,’ adapted from the Spanish novel of the same name.   This news comes just days after the news that Slade has been set to direct the third film in the ‘Twilight Saga,’ ‘Eclipse.’

‘Cold Skin’ centers on a weather official on a remote island in the South Atlantic close to the Arctic Circle.   The novel was the debut novel by Albert Sanchez Pinol.   Jesus Olmo (’28 Weeks Later’) is working on adapting the novel for the screen.

“David was always our first choice for ‘Cold Skin’ because he knows how to handle the psychological horror, and he’s CG savvy as well,† producer Denise O’Dell said.

The film, with a projected budget of $25 million, is set to begin production March, 2010.
