About I AM ZLATAN:
The feature is an adaptation of the successful autobiography ‘I Am Zlatan Ibrahimović’ by David Lagercrantz and Ibrahimović himself, which has been sold worldwide and translated into more than 30 languages. While the footballer is not appearing himself in the film, he is, however, very much involved. The two young actors playing Zlatan Ibrahimović are Dominic Bajraktari Andersson and Granit Rushiti.
I AM ZLATAN has a budget of EUR 5M, is directed by Jens Sjögren and scripted by David Lagercrantz and Jakob Beckman. The film is produced by Frida Bargo, Mattias Nohrborg and Fredrik Heinig for BR•F and is a co-production with Nordisk Film, Unknown, Poeter och partner, Film i Skåne, Film I Väst, Nordsvensk, SVT and Kepler Film, with support the Swedish Film Institute, Nordisk Film & TV Fond and Creative Europe Media.
The feature will release in local cinemas on 18 March 2022.
