Pig Director to Helm New Sabrina Graphic Novel Movie Adaptation
The director of Pig, Michael Sarnoski, is set to write and helm the feature film adaptation of Nick Drnaso's 2018 graphic novel, Sabrina. The story of the award-winning novel revolves around a grieving man who, after his girlfriend named Sabrina goes missing, decides to live with his best friend, who happens to be an Air Force surveillance expert agent coping with a failed marriage.
