"I, Tonya" helmer Craig Gillespie has been roped in to direct the English remake of Norwegian film "Thelma".
The supernatural horror drama film, directed by Joachim Trier, was released last year to critical acclaim and later chosen as the Norwegian entry for the best foreign language film Oscar but it did not make it to final five.
The story follows a sheltered young woman who discovers she has an inexplicable power that materializes when she feels desire for a female student at her university.
Christy Hall was recently hired to pen the screenplay for the remake, which will be financed and produced by FilmNation, reported Deadline.
Gillespie, 51, is best known for directing Tonya Harding-biopic "I, Tonya" and Ryan Gosling-starrer "Lars and the Real Girl".
