film profile] (2007), he is unleashing a new breed of predators who eat everything alive in Danny’s Doomsday, his new feature which will go before the cameras on Monday (July 1).
Two brothers who cannot stand each other entrench themselves in the basement of their family house, without food and water, while they watch the shadows of the monsters outside. One thinks they should they remain in the safety of their hideaway, but the others wants to look for their mother.
Danny’s Doomsday is one of three features, the Danish Film Institute has set rolling by a package of €2.5 million production funding. Scripted by Søren Grinderslev Hansen, and starring William Jønk Nielsen, Thomas Garvey, Peter Gantzler and Lars Mikkelsen, it is produced by Christian Potalivo and Caroline Blanco for Miso Film and will open in the autumn next year.
The Class Reunion (2011), which reached 517,000 admissions domestically, will be followed by The Class Reunion: The Funeral, the feature debut of Danish director Mikkel Serup (The Killing 2). It will also be the reunion of Troels Lyby, Nikolaj Kopernikus and Anders W Berthelsen in the leads as the three friends, this time at an unsuccessful stag night.
Scripted by Lars Mering and Claudia Boderke, with a cast also including Anne Sofie Espersen, Kirsten Lehfeldt and Marie Askehave, the sequel is produced by Tomas Radoor and René Ezra for Nordisk Film Production, and will be premiered next year.
Also a first feature, shooting since last month (May 6), Fenar Ahmad’s Fuck To Be Known stars Kian Gilli Rosenberg as a young rapper talent pursuing his own dreams, with Rasmus Hammerich, Ali Sivandi, Marijana Jankovic and Lirim Jusufi. Scripted by Anders Ølholm, it is produced by Morten Kjems Juhl for Beofilm and Nina Bisgaard for Metafilm.
