Actors taking their talents behind the camera as directors is always exciting to hear about, and this news from Deadline is certainly no exception. Alexander Skarsgård has been tapped to direct “The Pack,” a psychological thriller that will also serve as his directorial debut. If that wasn’t enough to get you interested, wait until you hear that Florence Pugh has signed on as the film’s lead. The movie will be seeking distribution at next week’s American Film Market, but with this type of star power already attached, it’s likely that it will have to face an intense bidding war.

According to Deadline, “The Pack” will follow a group of documentarians reuniting at an awards ceremony to represent their film. In the public eye, they helped bring awareness to a nearly extinct group of wolves in the Alaskan wilderness, but the truth is much stranger and darker than that. Tensions are bound to flare and egos will probably be shattered as their facades finally slip.

Skarsgård will direct from an original screenplay by Rose Gilroy, whose script “Project Artemis” is being adapted into a film starring Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum. 

If the right deals are made at the prestigious event, then “The Pack” could begin filming sometime in 2023.
