Nicolas Winding Refn is in talks to direct a horror film based on the mysterious death of Vancouver woman Elisa Lam.
The director of "Drive" and "Bronson" usually gets approached for projects but actually sought out "The Bringing," according to Deadline.com. Refn, based in Copenhagen, is a horror fan who really wants to make a scary film, the site reports.
The script, written by Phillip and Brandon Murphy, has been acquired by Sony Pictures.
Lam was visiting Los Angeles and last seen at the Cecil Hotel on Jan. 31, 2013. She was found dead nearly three weeks later in one of four rooftop tanks that hold the water supply for the hotel.
Many people have been captivated by the bizarre circumstances of her death, particularly a surveillance video of Lam acting strangely in the hotel elevator that was released by L.A. police during their investigation.
Do you think a film about Lam's death should be made? Let us know in the comments below.
