ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The hunt for Alaska’s most infamous serial murderer is about to get the Hollywood treatment.

Academy Award-winning actor Nicolas Cage will star in “Frozen Ground,” a movie detailing the police investigation of serial killer Robert Hansen, Variety reported Wednesday. He will play an Alaska State Trooper who investigated the murders.

Filming is scheduled to start in Anchorage on Oct. 10, a second major production filmed in Alaska in the last year. Filming wrapped up last fall on Drew Barrymore’s “Everybody Loves Whales.”

Hansen, who got the nickname “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 owned a bakery in a downtown mini-mall in the 1970s and ’80s. He lived across town with his wife and children, and they knew nothing of his other life.

The construction of the trans-Alaska pipeline in the 1970s brought prostitutes, pimps, drug dealers and con artists to Alaska’s largest city, all hoping to pry away some of the big money construction workers were pulling in.

Those who sought a quick buck left as abruptly as they arrived in Anchorage, making sudden disappearances commonplace.

Glenn Flothe was the trooper who put Hansen behind bars.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Cage would play Flothe in the movie since so many troopers were part of the investigation.
