FROM THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: Efron is attached to star in and produce a remake of “Snabba Cash,” the hot Swedish property that was the subject of a heavy Hollywood bidding war and has just found a home with Warner Bros.
Warners bought the remake rights for Efron to produce via the new Warners-based shingle he runs with manager Jason Barrett.
Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven and Richard Suckle are producing, along with original producer Fredrik Wikstrom. Michael Hjorth will exec produce.
“Snabba” is based on a novel by Jens Lapidus and was a major hit in its home country. The thriller follows three interconnected storylines involving drugs and organized crime, with the main character a young man (half-American Joel Kinnaman, poised for an international break-out) who hopes to strike it rich quickly by becoming a runner for a coke dealer.
