Headhunters
Headhunters, based on Jo Nesbø’s novel, is a thriller with a good portion of humour that will open on Scandinavian cinemas during autumn. The film star one of Norway’s most popular actors Aksel Hennie and the Dane Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, who was most recently seen in the HBO series “Game of Thrones”. “Headhunters” is directed by Morten Tyldum and is a co-production between Yellow Bird, Friland and Nordisk film.

About the film

Headhunters is an action thriller which introduces us to the charming villain Roger Brown, a man who seems to have it all: he is Norway’s most successful headhunter, married to the beautiful gallery owner Diana, owns a magnificent house – and is living larger than he should. Meanwhile, he is playing at the dangerous game of art theft. Headhunters is a story about deceit, faithfulness and revenge and at the same time a first class thriller.

About Jo Nesbø
With his seven internationally acclaimed crime novels featuring Detective Harry Hole, Jo Nesbø has achieved an unparalleled success both in his native country Norway and abroad, winning the hearts of critics, booksellers and readers alike. Translated into thirty languages, awarded a whole range of awards and boasting record-breaking sales, Nesbø has been lavishly praised by international critics for broadening the scope of the contemporary crime novel, and is today regarded as one of Europe’s most important crime writers.[contact]Marianne Gray
