Mads Mikkelsen To Star In Lee Smith’s Directorial Debut ‘Sirius’; Neon Boards For Sales – Cannes Market
Mads Mikkelsen will star in 'Sirius', the debut feature from Academy Award-winning editor Lee Smith, and Neon has sales.
Pic is based on a screenplay by Tony Mosher ( Mechanic: Resurrection) and is currently in pre-production, described as a “gripping Arctic action-thriller inspired by the real-life Sirius Patrol, the Danish special forces unit charged with defending Greenland’s 8,700-mile frozen coastline.” Mikkelsen is known for roles in the first two of Nicolas Winding Refn’s Pushing trilogy, and others in Casino Royale, The Hunt, Doctor Strange, Rogue One, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Danish Oscar entry The Promised Land. This year on the Croisette, it is launching Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value and Julia Ducournau’s Alpha as well as Raoul Peck’s Orwell: 2+2=5 and Michael Angelo Covino’s Splitsville starring Dakota Johnson and Adria Arjona, the latter of which it also produced.
