Christine Roum, the screenwriter for the adaptation of Greg Rucka's 'Whiteout' for the big screen, says both she and the director have great respect for the source material and intend to stay faithful to it, according to Rotten Tomatoes.

Roum said, "Dominic Sena really loved this book forever, so he's staying very true as much as possible to the tone of it. It's a bigger feeling movie.

It has a landscape that's really big. It's very ambitious as a film and very ambitious from a storytelling point of view because you’re dealing with character. It's all about these characters in a very hyped up environment, the south pole. The suspense-thriller aspect of it is there. It's plotted, it's exciting but you're really getting into the interaction between these people in an extreme environment. It’s like being on the moon."
