New Line is in final talks with HELLBOY director Guillermo Del Toro to helm futuristic fantasy-thriller KILLING ON CARNIVAL ROW, reports VARIETY. Arnold and Anne Kopelson will produce via their Kopelson Entertainment banner.
New Line purchased the spec script from Travis Beacham last fall. Set in a Victorian city inhabited by humans, faeries, elves and vampires, a detective hunts down a serial killer.
