16-04-2012

 

As Swedish director Lukas Moodysson is preparing his new feature

film VI ÄR BÄST! (English title TBA), TrustNordisk has picked up

international sales rights on the title for which shooting is to begin later

this year. 

 

“My goal is to make a happy film full

of hope and vitality”, Lukas Moodysson states about his new project.
 
The story takes place in Stockholm 1982. A film about Bobo,

Klara and Hedvig. Three 12-13-year old girls who roam the streets. Who are

brave and tough and strong and weak and confused and weird. Who have to take

care of themselves way too early. Who heat fish fingers in the toaster when

mom is at the pub. Who start a punk band without any instruments, even though

everybody says that punk is dead.

 

A film about being

different and about a friendship more important than anything else.

 

Written and directed by Lukas Moodysson, the film is

based on the graphic novel “NEVER GOODNIGHT” by Coco

Moodysson.

 

Lukas Moodysson has previously directed FUCKING

ÅMÅL aka SHOW ME LOVE (1998), TOGETHER (2000), LILYA 4-EVER (2002) and

MAMMOTH (2009).

 

Shooting is set to begin during fall 2012

and will take place at Film i Väst and on location in Stockholm. Domestic

release is set for 2013 by Svensk Filmindustri and international sales is

handled by TrustNordisk.

 

The film is produced by Lars

Jönsson for Memfis Film.
