Michael Fassbender is being eyed to play Austrian serial killer Jack Unterweger in “Entering Hades,” a Broad Green Pictures project that the “X-Men” star is teaming with “Se7en” producer Richard Saperstein, among others, to produce.
Broad Green has closed a deal for rights to “Entering Hades,” which is based on John Leake’s true crime novel. Bill Wheeler wrote the original script, which Oscar winner Alexander Dinelaris (“Birdman”) is rewriting with Fassbender in mind for the creepy lead role.
Unterweger was a celebrated Austrian journalist and best-selling author who led a double life, investigating murders by day and killing by night.
