Agnieszka Holland has been a quiet voice behind some of the most impactful TV shows of recent years (House Of Cards, The Killing, Treme and The Wire all adorn her CV) and now she's turning her talents back to the big screen. The Polish filmmaker will tackle crime-based adaptation Game Count.
The film will be a murder-mystery with a hint of the darkly humorous and macabre about it. It’s being adapted from a novel by Polish novelist Olga Tokarczuk, the title of which translates into English as 'Drive Your Plow Over the Bones Of The Dead'. That source material revolves around a series of gruesome killings in the Polish boondocks and the quirky old lady who becomes the centre of the police's investigations. Coen brothers, anyone?
Holland’s last feature, subterranean Holocaust drama In Darkness, picked up an Academy Award nod. She was also Oscar-nominated for her Europa Europa screenplay in 1990, and will be back on co-writing duties for Game Count alongside Tokarczuk herself.
