TrustNordisk announced in Cannes on 21 May that UK distributor Metrodome Distribution has picked up rights for Lukas Moodysson’s upcoming coming of age film We Are the Best.

The deal was negotiated by Metrodome’s Managing Director Jezz Vernon and Head of Acquisitions Giles Edwards, with TrustNordisk’s Susan Wendt based on a three-minute promo shown at the market. "We're delighted to be continuing our enormously fruitful collaboration, over a decade-long relationship with TrustNordisk. Lukas Moodysson remains a deeply compassionate and insightful master storyteller", said Edwards.

Metrodome’s catalogue already includes the Swedish director’s Lilya 4-Ever and Together. We Are The Best has also been sold to Benelux (Wild Bunch), Switzerland (Frenetic Films) and Former Yugoslavia (Continental Film) with a number of territories currently in negotiation. Written and directed by Lukas Moodysson from a graphic novel by Coco Moodysson, the film, produced by Memfis Film, is a humorous story about three outsiders in 1980s Stockholm. Domestic release is set for October 2013.
