Jake Gyllenhaal is set to star and re-team with his "Southpaw" director Antoine Fuqua for the remake of Gustav Moller's acclaimed single setting Danish thriller "The Guilty" for Bold Films and Amet Entertainment.

Taking place exclusively in one location, the original version of The Guilty follows alarm dispatcher and former police officer, Asger Holm, who answers an emergency call from a kidnapped woman. When the call is suddenly disconnected, the search for the woman and her kidnapper begins. Co-written and directed by Gustav Möller in his feature film debut, the movie stars Jakob Cedergren as Asger Holm and Jessica Dinnage as Iben Østergård, the voice at the other end of the line.

The film will commence production in November in Los Angeles.

Gyllenhaal said; "I couldn’t be more excited to work with Antoine again. Our time together on Southpaw was one of the great artistic experiences of my career, and I cannot wait to be back on set with him again. The Guilty is a special story, and one that we all feel very close to."

Once filming is completed on this film Fuqua will commence shooting Apple TV’s runaway slave drama 'Emancipation' with Will Smith.
