A dozen years have gone by since the release of director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.’s prequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 classic The Thing (watch the prequel Here). Looking back at the project now, van Heijningen has some regrets over the way the special effects were handled on the film, and that he was never able to make the sequel they had plans for.

Directed by van Heijningen from a screenplay written by Eric Heisserer and based on the short story Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell (using the pen name Don A. Stuart), The Thing 2011 has the following synopsis: After Norwegian researchers discover an alien ship buried in the ice, paleontologist Kate Lloyd joins the team at the isolated Arctic outpost to investigate. She finds an organism that appears to have perished in the crash eons ago but, in fact, is about to awake. Freed from its icy prison,...

Narvik (Kampen om Narvik – Hitlers første nederlag) is a Norwegian film directed by Erik Skjoldbjaerg starring Kristine Hartgen, Carl Martin Eggesbø and Henrik Mestad.

This is a movie that despite its good work technically, does not manage to be a “great movie” which is very likely what was expected of a production like this one.

A good movie, but not memorable.

Storyline Narvik

Norway, a supposedly neutral country during World War II, was a target for the Germans and British because of the minerals and raw goods that left from the small town in the north of Norway for both war contingents. Obviously, the equilibrium was broken and Norwegians had to take part in a battle that lasted two months.

This was the first time in which Hitler´s army was defeated in the war.

And, technically speaking: the movie is pretty good tecnically. Norway has managed to re-invent itself and,...

Sf Studios is set to co-finance and distribute “The Riot,” a Norwegian historical action film chronicling a miners’ uprising at the start of the 20th century.

Produced by Storyline Nor, the epic film is directed by Nils Gaup (“The Kautokeino Rebellion”), and stars Swedish actors Otto Fahlgren (“Beartown”) and Simon J. Berger (“Margrete – Queen of the North”).

Inspired by a true story, “The Riot” follows workers in copper mines located in the Arctic mountains, in a place nicknamed Lapland’s Hell, who rebelled against the powerful industrial company and its ruthless leader. Their revolt was the starting point of the Scandinavian labor movement.

“‘The Riot’ is a miniature of how greed, the exploitation of humans and nature lead society in the wrong direction,” said Gaup. “We want to make a film that shows that people can achieve great things when they stand together,” added the director.

Although conditions improved partly thanks to the massive uprising,...

If you’ve ever read any of my reviews around December, then you will probably know that I love Christmas movies. So when they mix perfectly together with the horror genre I am even happier.

That said, unfortunately, there’s not a whole lot of Christmas horror released each year, and even less, Good Christmas horror. In recent years, Better Watch Out, Await Further Instructions, Hosts, Black Christmas, I Trapped The Devil and The Lodge have all been largely entertaining and of good quality. Norwegian movie Jule Blood (Christmas Blood) covers a Christmas murderer who has escaped jail and back on the loose for that special day.

When it focuses on the killer Santa Claus, Jule Blood is at its best. Not unlike many slasher movies, the deaths don’t come thick and fast until...

HBO has released the first international trailer for its quirky Norwegian sci-fi drama Beforeigners. The series, which comes out of HBO Europe and stars Blade Runner 2049’s Krista Kosonen and Aquitted’s Nicolai Cleve Broch, is to launch on August 21.

The drama, which will be available in the U.S. via the WarnerMedia-owned network’s digital platforms, was created by Anne Bjørnstad and Eilif Skodvin, the creative team behind Netflix’s Lilyhammer.

It follows a new phenomenon that starts happening all over the world. Powerful flashes of light occur in the ocean, and people from the past appear. They come from three separate time periods: The Stone Age, The Viking era and late 19th Century. No one understands how this is possible, and the people from the past, called ”beforeigners”, have no memory of what’s transpired. Only one thing is certain: they keep coming and there is no way back.

The series was created by ’Lilyhammer’ duo Anne Bjørnstad and Eilif Skodvin.

Shooting has begun on HBO Europe’s Norwegian series Beforeigners, created by Lilyhammer duo Anne Bjørnstad and Eilif Skodvin.

Directed by Jens Lien (Jonny Vang), the series is produced by Rubicon TV, part of the Endemol Shine Group. HBO greenlit the series in June of this year.

With a cast led by Nicolai Cleve Broch (Acquitted) and Krista Kosonen (Blade Runner 2049), the series sees people from the past - ‘beforeigners’ - appearing when a new light phenomenon starts occurring across the world. The re-appearing people have no memory of what has occurred.

At the beginning of World War II, a hostile chance encounter in the skies above the harsh Norwegian wilderness leaves two aircraft.one British, one German.shot down in a remote and isolated region.

Harry Potter’s best friend, Ron Weasley, could use a little magical assistance these days because Rupert Grint is having a rough time in the new trailer for Into the White.

Unfortunately (in a sense) for the three leads in the Harry Potter franchise, the movie series about the boy who lived catapulted Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint into the spotlight in a major way during their childhood years, making a large part of society forever see them as Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley.

Now that the Potter storyline has wrapped up, the three stars have set off to see if there’s a career beyond Hogwarts. Radcliffe discovered the easiest way to distance himself from the boy with the lightning-shaped scar was to get on a Broadway stage and take his clothes off, and roles in The Woman in Black and the upcoming Horns seems...

With the long-running Harry Potter franchise in their collective rearview mirror, the stars of that series are finally able to move on to other projects. Former Ron Weasley Rupert Grint has moved on quicker than most, popping up in a role opposite Shia Labeouf in The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman. Now we have the trailer for his newest movie Into the White, a true story about members of the British and German forces in WWII who are both shot down and must band together to survive. It looks like there could be some great tense moments ala Inglourious Basterds here, but we'll have to wait and see. Watch below! Here's the first trailer for Into the White, originally from MTV: Into the White is directed by Norwegian filmmaker Petter Næss (Absolute Hangover, Gone with the Woman, Shameless), and stars David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff, Florian Lukas, Rupert Grint, and...

Along with Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, we've watched Rupert Grint grow up on the big screen through the 'Harry Potter' films, and just like his castmates, he's moving onto a diverse array of projects, one that he hopes will allow people to see that he's much more than just Ron Weasley. Last week, he had a role in "The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman" which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, and his upcoming performances include playing The Dead Boys member Cheetah Chrome in "Cbgb," a part in the Dennis Wilson biopic "The Drummer," and the lead voice role in the animated "Postman Pat." And this spring, he's earning his wings. "Into The White" co-stars Grint, David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff, Florian Lukas and Lachlan Nieboer, and takes place at the beginning of World War II, where a hostile chance encounter in the skies above the harsh Norwegian wilderness...

September 28th, 2012, 12:44Pm– With the UK release date of Rupert Grint’s movie “Into The White / Cross of Honour” coming closer and closer, we are happy to share some lovely reviews with you. Itw/Coh got some great responses in the UK and Rupert’s performance got praised. First one was published by littlewhitelies.co: “The performances are uniformly strong, though Rupert Grint wins best in show for his charismatic and unflappable Scouse darts champ who takes great joy in rubbing his severe German compatriots up the wrong way. His accent, too, is note perfect, and the film is a far better showcase for his performing talents than any of the Harry Potter films.” Second one by cinemaroll.com “The English side is pretty much told through the eyes of Gunner Robert Smith played by Rupert Grint. His role of over the top Liverpudlian, who strikes up an expected friendship,...

Although nicely produced, this second world war yarn is bland and predictable

Cross of Honour is a handsomely produced, well intended but bland and TV-movieish second world war yarn, based on a true story. Two aircrews are shot down over the snowy wastelands of Norway in April 1940: one German, one British. Lachlan Nieboer plays Captain Davenport, as elegant as a young Hugh Grant; Rupert Grint is Gunner Smith, a feisty scouser. On the German side, Florian Lukas plays Lieutenant Schopis, Stig Henrik Hoff is Sergeant Strunk and David Kross (from The Reader) plays junior officer Schwartz, a callow Hitler enthusiast who carries around a signed copy of Mein Kampf. The crews chance on the same deserted hunting lodge. The Luger-flourishing Germans try to hold the Brits captive, but soon they realise that to survive they will have to work together – and even be friends. It's all a bit tame,...

New poster for Into the White (previously titled Comrade), an anti-war film directed by Petter Næss, written by Ole Meldgaard, Dave Mango and the director Næss, has gone online today.

The film revolves around an American Pilot and a German pilot that shoot each other down only to find that they must depend on each other to survive a harsh Norwegian winter, alone in the wilderness.

Into the White stars Rupert Grint, David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff, Florian Lukas, and Lachlan Nieboer. No release date is set yet.

The film is based on a true story. On 27 April 1940, Luftwaffe pilot Horst Schopis’ bomber, a Heinkel 111 (1H+Ct) is shot down near Grotli by an Raf Blackburn Skua (L2940) fighter, which then crash-lands. The surviving German and English crew members begin to shoot each other, but later find themselves huddled up in the same cabin. In order to survive the harsh winter in the Norwegian wilderness,...

The Thing (2011) Film Review, a movie directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. and starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Eric Christian Olsen, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ulrich Thomsen, Kim Bubbs, Stig Henrik Hoff, Jonathan Walker, and Carsten Bjornlund.

One could say that The Thing (2011) is like the Halloween remake and the Star Wars prequels: the original is better than new incarnation in almost every way. Like the Halloween remake, what was copied over into this The Thing from John Carpenter’s original film was done better the first time and what material was originated in this film should have been expanded upon. Like the Star Wars prequels, The Thing should have created its special effects in the same manner as the original film instead of going the hyper real CGI route. In that way, this prequel and its effects could have seamlessly transferred the viewer from one film (the prequel) to the...

February 14th, 2012, 8:47Am– As we told you earlier, Rupert Grint‘s new film, Into the White, played a part at the film event, Blått Lerret (Blue Screen) at Parkteatret in Oslo, Norway. The director Petter Næss was there along with the Norwegian actor Stig Henrik Hoff and the British actor Lachlan Nieboer. To remind you, Blått Lerret is a monthly film event where you get the chance to see clips from upcoming Norwegian films and hear what directors, actors and other contributors can tell viewers about the films in question. We can now show you two clips from the presentation – and they are absolutely Hilarious! So do yourself a favour and take a look at both of them:...

2011.s The Thing is an unnecessary CGI-slick prequel to John Carpenter.s 1982 classic sci-fi/horror film The Thing. It isn.t horrible and does several things right, but is easily forgettable as soon as the end credits roll. Based on John W. Campbell Jr. short story "Who Goes There?," the prequel was directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. and written by Eric Heisserer. The film stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Ulrich Thomsen, Eric Christian Olsen, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Paul Braunstein, Trond Espen Seim, Kim Bubbs, Jørgen Langhelle, Jan Gunnar Røise, Stig Henrik Hoff, Kristofer Hivju, Jo Adrian Haavind, and Carsten Bjørnlund. Heijningen and company do an excellent job of tying the prequel to Carpenter.s film (a fire axe placed...

January 26th, 2011, 3:12 Pm– Vg.no have just published an article and a brand new clip from the soon-to-be-released film Into the White.

We hope to have the translation up in a short while! Until then, enjoy the clip!

January 17th, 2011, 9:10Am– We have another ICM Exclusive coming your way – and this time it is an interview with Stig Henrik Hoff who plays Wolfgang Strunk opposite Rupert Grint in the new film Into the White by Petter Næss! The Norwegian actor Stig Henrik Hoff was gracious enough to sit down and answer some questions from the ICM staff. He is known to be a man with a playful and light-hearted personality, and this is definitely the Stig who we heard from last night. You can read all about his experience filming Into the White in Norway’s extreme weather conditions, what he thought of Rupert Grint‘s skiing abilities and how he felt about the character Strunk. Here’s a sneak peek of what mr. Hoff had to say about Rupert: We had a great time shooting, a lot of fun and laughs, and Rupert impressed me! Young guy,...

We just received a press release from the film’s distributor Scanbox Entertainment – and the film now has distribution in no less than 21 countries. There is no doubt that many more countries will come after the film festivals of early 2012, and some more PR by the actors, producers, distributors and director, Petter Næss. One thing is for certain – we can’t wait! The 21 countries listed in the press release are the following: Germany, Great Britain, Spain, Thailand, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Croatia, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Luxembourg, Slovenia and Macedonia.

Blått Lerret is also a great opportunity for a nice get-together with people from the industry and others simply interested in films. We have gained access to four older,...

“Let’s face it, we’re all going to die here.” Fresh from the Battle of Hogwarts, Daniel Radcliffe is battling The Woman in Black, while Rupert Grint soldiers on in the World War II drama, Into the White. Norwegian filmmaker Petter Næss, who helmed the phenomenal odd couple comedy Elling, directs this tense tale that is based on actual events. Rupert Grint, Florian Lukas, David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff and Lachlan Nieboer stars as a group of pilots (some German some English), who — after being shot down — are forced to share an isolated shack to survive the frigid temperature of their Norwegian surroundings. It’s a premise that seems destined to end in much bloodshed. But according to its released synopsis, rather than turning on each others, these thrown together survivors begin to bond, forming a strong though unexpected brotherhood. While the trailer below seems a bit lackluster, I...

[1] After a decade spent watching the Harry Potter kids grow up before my eyes, their faces have come to feel almost as familiar to me as those of my actual friends and family. So it's been interesting but more than a little weird to look on over these past several months as each of them have gone on to tackle new, non-Potter parts. Daniel Radcliffe decided to go the horror story route with The Woman in Black, as we've seen [2], while Emma Watson returned to the big screen just this past weekend [3] in My Week with Marilyn. As for Rupert Grint, he's apparently chosen a World War II drama titled Into the White. I know, I had no idea either -- but now that I've seen the trailer, it doesn't look half bad! Watch it after the jump. Directed by Petter Næss, Into the White follows a group of English...

The first trailer has been released for Rupert Grint's (Harry Potter) next film Into The White. The film is set during World War II, and it tells the story of English and German pilots "who shoot each other down, and later find themselves at the same cabin. In order to survive the tough winter in the Norwegian wilderness they have to stand together. It's the start of a long and unlikely friendship." This looks like it could be a solid little movie. The film also stars Florian Lukas, David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff and Lachlan Nieboer. Watch the trailer below and tell us what you think!

"May I introduce you to the beautiful Norwegian countryside!" Take a look at a trailer for a film I had never heard of until today, but looks pretty damn good, even compared to The Grey. It's called Into the White, directed by Norwegian Petter Næss, and is a WWII-set survival thriller. It stars an international cast lead by Rupert Grint, of Harry Potter fame, as well as Florian Lukas, David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff and Lachlan Nieboer. It's about two groups of pilots from opposite sides who shoot each other down but must stay at the same cabin to survive. The trailer is mostly in English with some German, but it looks quite good. Watch the first official trailer for Petter Næss's Into the White, originally via Vlicious: English and German pilots shoot each other down, and later find themselves at the same cabin.

October 30th, 2011, 12:25Pm– We’ve been quite busy the last days and are happy to show you the new layout of our sub-site Rupert Grint Press Page designed by Flor from Sweet-Revelation.net. Enjoy a look at interviews or articles of the last eleven years. And what would be a better way to celebrate our new Comrade-themed layout than to share with you guys a brand new ICM-Exclusive! We had the opportunity to ask Kitty Kratschke, make-up artist of Rupert’s new movie ‘Comrade‘, some questions about her work at the set of Comrade. We spoke about incalculable weather conditions, hair that has to be curled lots of times the day in the middle of nowhere and how she decided the looks of Rupert Grint, David Kross, Florian Lukas, Lachlan Nieboer and Stig Henrik Hoff. You’ll find the whole interview on our ICM-Exclusive section on the press...

While Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.’s version offers a nice thrill, it doesn’t come close to, well, replicating the elements that made Carpenter’s piece iconic. It’s 1982 in Antarctica. A team of Norwegian scientists travel across the snowy tundra trying to track a mysterious signal. Upon pinpointing the position of...

Along with the ship they also find the mother-load off all discoveries...a perfectly preserved alien organism that they estimate to have perished in the ice thousands of years ago. After excavating the body incased in a block of ice and bringing it back to their outpost,...
