Just like in the novel, this film never lets up in the action and suspense. Both omissions just allow the film to flow more fluidly. They also leave out the complex rules for interviewing that Roger is as obsessed with as he is with his hair. In the film they do downplay Roger’s obsession with his “perfect” hair, so when he’s forced to shave his head, it comes off as more of a complete emotional breakdown instead of one based on vanity. Nesbo’s tightly written thriller was easy for the screenwriters to adapt into a tightly written script. The film almost never strays from the novel, which says more about Nesbo as a writer than about the screenwriters Lars Gudmestad and Ulf Ryberg. What’s great about this thriller is that you know something is going to go wrong, but it’s never quite what you expect. But there is more going on around Roger and the people in his life than he could even have imagined. From that setup alone, you can tell that not all will go well (and it does not). When a legendary painting is discovered in the house of his new client, Clas Greve ( Game of Thrones’ Jaime Lannister-Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), Roger can’t help but attempt to steal it. In his attempts to create a perfect life for his wife Diana (Synnove Macody Lund)-he’ll do anything for her except give her a child-he finds himself spending above his means and so he steals art and sells it on the black market to make extra money. Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie) is a corporate headhunter (and part-time art thief) who is unknowingly thrown into a game of manipulation, which results in the death of many. Maipo is behind some of Norway’s most notable films of the last decade, such as Liv Ullmann’s “Miss July,” Anne Sewitsky’s “Happy Happy,” as well as a number of fantasy-filled movies, notably “The Ash Lad: In the Hall of the Mountain King” and “Aspen 2.” The first season of “State of Happiness” has been picked up by broadcasters around the world, including the BBC, and has earned critical acclaim.Based on Jo Nesbo’s novel of the same name, Headhunters makes for an equally thrilling film about deception and distrust. The company had the Norwegian WWII drama “The Crossing” in theaters when cinemas shutdown due to the pandemic, and it will next be releasing “Diana’s Wedding” on Sept. “In these troubling times, there are many new challenges, but we have to continue,” said Hørsdal. The company will also kick off lensing three features, including “Clue,” a movie penned by Aleksander Kirkwood Brown, based on the crime novels by Jørn Lier Horst, to be directed by Thale Persson and “Thomas in Superposition,” written and to be directed by Jason Rørvik.

Bolstad’s ambitious drama series “State of Happiness,” as well as “I Don’t Live Here,” a short-format series created and directed by Liv Mari Mortensen for TV2 Norway. Maipo will start filming five productions in September, notably the second season of Mette M. “The demand is opening up for many different types of content, not just Scandi noir – films and series don’t have to be crime to be international,” said Hørsdal.

The company will also be looking to develop further its TV production biz. Hørsdal said the acquisition will allow the company to increase its production volume and deliver a steady number of movies. The deal with Friland marks Maipo’s first company acquisition since launching 20 years ago.
