Warner Bros. Buying Rights to Novel 'Blood on the Snow' as Potential Starring Vehicle for Leonardo DiCaprio
Mon, October 21, 2013 
Warner Bros. is in negotiations to buy the film rights to the upcoming Jo Nesbo novel, Blood on the Snow, to be released this upcoming spring.
The project will be developed by Leonardo DiCaprio's production company, Appian Way, as a potential starring vehicle for the ever so in-demand actor.
Blood on the Snow tells the story of a hitman who falls in love with his boss's wife after he is assigned to kill her. Not very original, but under the banner of DiCaprio's production company, I'm sure it'll be something worth seeing.
The author, Nesbo (who goes under the pseudonym Tom Johansson), will also publish the book's sequel, More Blood on the Water, for release in the spring of 2015. Maybe this will become DiCaprio's franchise.
The Oscar nominated actor - who is currently taking a break with no upcoming projects on his schedule - can next be seen in Martin Scorcese's The Wolf of Wall Street, tentatively scheduled for release this Christmas Day.
