MUMBAI: Nicolas Cage has been signed to star in Frozen Ground that details the police investigation of serial killer Robert Hansen.
 
Hansen, known by his nickname as ‘the Butcher Baker‘ was convicted in 1984 after confessing to killing 17 women and raping another 30 in a 12-year span. He received a 461 year sentence and is incarcerated at a state prison in Seward.

Hansen‘s victims initially included any woman who caught his eye but then he quickly learnt that prostitutes and strippers were harder to track but less likely to be missed.

Cage will play an Alaska State Trooper who investigated the murders.
