Roberto Snyder will direct the family drama “Blood Knot,” starring Michael Douglas and his son Cameron Douglas. Emmy and Tony Award nominated actor David Morse, Michael Stahl – David and Walker Scobell have joined the cast.

Screen Media will present the film project to buyers at the Cannes Film Festival. The film is based on Bob Rich’s novel Looking Through Water and has been adapted for the big screen by Roddy Harrington.

It follows a father who tries to reconnect with his estranged son and invites him to Belize to compete in a father-son fishing competition.

Snyder will replace Howard Deutch, who was originally announced to direct the drama but dropped out due to other commitments.
