EXCLUSIVE: Myriad Pictures is reuniting with Ruba Nadda, producer Daniel Iron and their Cairo Time star Patricia Clarkson on October Gale.

Kirk D’Amico’s company has secured world sales on the Canadian thriller and has been introducing to buyers at the EFM.

Principal photography is set to kick off in spring with Toronto-based Iron of Blue Ice Pictures producing with David Collins of Ireland’s Samson Films. 

Myriad chief D’Amico is an executive produce with Killer Films’ Christine Vachon and Emily Alden of Canada’s Pacific Northwest Pictures.

October Gale centres on a woman who gets involved in a deadly struggle for survival as she spends time at her island cabin home putting her late husband’s affairs in order.

“We are very happy to be working with Ruba and Danny again,” said D’Amico, whose company handled sales on Nadda’s most recent film, Inescapable. “Ruba has written a taught, suspenseful script with a great leading role for Patricia.”

Myriad’s EFM sales slate includes the Hilary Swank drama You’re Not You and Robert Carlyle’s directorial debut The Long Midnight Of Barney Thomson starring Carlyle, Emma Thompson and Ray Winstone.
