'Belle' helmer Amma Asante is set to direct the TV drama Smilla's Sense of Snow for Constantin Film. The series, shortly to be shopped to cable networks and streamers, follows Smilla Jaspersen, whose investigation into the mysterious death of an immigrant Inuit child from the projects evolves into a much grander supernatural epic.
