We are thrilled to announce that California Filmes have acquired the worldwide distribution rights for 3 THINGS, directed by Jens Dahl and starring internationally renowned and award winning actor, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (GAME OF THRONES; A SECOND CHANCE, 2014) alongside acclaimed actress, Birgitte Hjort Sørensen (GAME OF THRONES, 2015; BORGEN, 2013).
The deal was negotiated between Senior Sales Manager at TrustNordisk, Nicolai Korsgaard and Vice-president at California Filmes, Claiton Fernandes.
“California Filmes is a dear and long-time partner for us and we are happy and confident that they will release the movie with great success - they were keen and excited about 3 things from the very beginning when we presented the film, and we are sure that they will do a great job with it”, says Nicolai Korsgaard.
3 THINGS is Jens Dahl's feature debut; his previous work include scriptwriting PUSHER by Nicolas Winding Refn, and several Scandinavian hit TV series, SUMMER, 2008; LULU & LEON, 2010; NORSKOV, 2015, among others.
The film centers in and around a hotel where the police are negotiating the terms of a witness protection deal with the prime suspect of a big money deposit robbery and an expert on explosives, Mikael (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). In order to agree to the deal, Mikael demands three things from the police: that his former girlfriend is brought to him, that the police bring the contents of a box he has stored, and that he is served butter chicken from his favourite restaurant. The police, under heavy time pressure to get him to witness the following day, agree.
3 THINGS is produced by Caroline Schlüter Bingestam and Jacob Jarek for Profile Picture and executively produced by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Ditte Milsted and Thor Sigurjonsson with support from Danish Film Institute and TV2 Danmark.
The film is distributed by Scanbox Entertainment in Scandinavia.
