Though Jonathan Glazer’sUnder the Skinwasn’t exactly the sorting of movie that screamed “ Hey , adapt me for the small screen,”A24and Silver Reel are bet on that being the kind of tempestuous turn of events you ’re going to be into .
Deadlinereports that in the wake of Silver Reel filing for what ’s essentially Chapter 11 bankruptcy , the television set rights toUnder the Skinare now up for bids after years of Silver Reel wanting to reimagine the alien - thriller .
Based on the novel by Michael Faber , Under the pelt tells the floor of a devastatingly - famish foreigner to begins feed on unsuspecting human being who make the fatal error of assuming that the being ( who wear down a human disguise ) is legitimately interested in know them . The motion-picture show ’s vanity worked specially because the alien was originally portrayed by Scarlett Johansson , but it ’s unbelievable that the actress would bring back to the character for a serial should it ever end up really being made .

Because Silver Reel is in the process of divvying up its asset as it undergoes restructuring , it ’s indecipherable where exactly Under the Skin ’s right are going to cease up , something that ’s going to factor into whether this would - be series comes to fruition . Currently , no studio or mesh has stepped up to corrupt the rights and greenlight a labor that would bestow this story back into the plica and it ’s confutable whether this second take on Under the Skin — a story about a dame going around eating mass — is something that people are game to revisit .
