It doesn’t have Mark Wahlberg, but it’ll do. Following a shorter international trailer, we’ve got a full-length US one for Morten Tyldum‘s Norwegian heist film Headhunters. Based on a Jo Nesbo‘s 2008 novel, the film was picked up by Magnolia Pictures, and it’ll arrive later this spring. If you want to know as little as possible, I suggest just watching the first trailer, as this one lays out much more of the story as well as what looks to be some key action scenes. Nonetheless, this one looks tense, well-crafted and smarter than what a likely Hollywood version would be bring. Check it out below via IMDb.
Synopsis:
HEADHUNTERS stars the talented Aksel Hennie (Max Manus) as Roger, a charming scoundrel and Norway’s most accomplished headhunter. Roger is living a life of luxury well beyond his means, and stealing art to subsidize his expensive lifestyle. When his beautiful gallery owner wife introduces him to a former mercenary in the possession of an extremely valuable painting, he decides to risk it all to get his hands on it, and in doing so discovers something which makes him a hunted man.
Headhunters arrives on April 27th.
