Reese Witherspoon to lead, produce supernatural thriller "Cold" August 11, 2015 - 18:44 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Lionsgate has acquired "Cold", an original pitch by Bill Marsilii with Reese Witherspoon and Bruna Papandrea producing through their Pacific Standard Films banner. Witherspoon also is attached to star. A source pegs the deal at mid- to high-six figures, the Hollywood Reporter says. The plot is being kept under wraps but has been described as a dark thriller with supernatural elements. Lionsgate's Eric Feig and Gillian Bohrer were the first buyers to hear the pitch, and quickly bid on the material. Since its launch in 2012, Pacific Standard has been on a tear, scooping up a number of best-selling female-centric books like "Gone Girl and Wild" (both scored best actress nominations for stars Rosamund Pike and Witherspoon, respectively). The company is already in business with Lionsgate on a big-screen adaptation of best-seller "Luckiest Girl Alive". Among the other Pacific Standard projects in development are "Ashley’s War" at Fox 2000 and "All Is Not Forgotten" at Warner Bros. Witherspoon and Papandrea also are behind Disney’s "Tink", a live-action take on the "Peter Pan" character Tinker Bell (Witherspoon will star in the titular role).
