Los Angeles, Jan 28 (SocialNews.XYZ) BAFTA and Oscar winner Kevin Macdonald will helm 'The Iceman', which will star Joseph Fiennes as the larger-than-life extreme athlete Wim Hof.

The two companies are also partners in The Reset Collective, the Australian production and distribution company that launched 2020.

Kevin Macdonald said; "Wim is someone who has suffered a terrible trauma - the loss of his wife - and finds an entirely new way to deal with the depression that comes with that experience."

"Jeff Pope has written a brilliant script - full of humour and humanity and emotions. In it, we are introduced to the Dutch suburbs - a world of crazy stunts, a broken family, a love affair and an epiphany. This is a film about resilience, second chances and the amazing ability of the human body and mind to heal."

'The Iceman' will start shooting in November 2022. Hof, a widower working as a postman and struggling to support his four children, turned to the cold to find peace and strength. Soon, his radical techniques drew worldwide attention.
