Mark Wahlberg a semnat sa joace in filmul Reykjavik-Rotterdam, un remake dupa un thriller produs de Working Title, spune THR.
Filmul original, regizat de Óskar Jónasson, a fost lansat in 2008. Baltasar Kormakur, care a produs si a jucat in filmul original, va regiza remake-ul. Aaron Guzikowski, care a scris scenariul pentru Prisoners, se va ocupa de scenariul acestui remake.
Povestea este despre un agent de securitate necurat si falit, pe ruta Islanda-Olanda, ce este tentat de un amic dubios sa se intoarca la afacerile ilegale.
Filmul original Reykjavik-Rotterdam a fost trimis, anul trecut, la Oscaruri la categoria Filme Straine, si a mai castigat inca cinci premii diferite. Remake-ul va avea loc si in alte locuri decat Reykjavik, cum ar fi : Capitolul Islandei si Rotterdam, un orasel-port din Olanda.

Mark Wahlberg has signed on to star in Reykjavik-Rotterdam, a remake of an Icelandic thriller that has been set up at Working Title, according to THR.
The original film, directed by Óskar Jónasson, was released in 2008. Baltasar Kormakur, who produced and starred in the original, is attached to direct the English-language remake. And Aaron Guzikowski, who wrote the spec script Prisoners, is writing the new remake script. The plot centers on a security guard and former alcohol smuggler on the Iceland-Netherlands route who is tempted back into illicit business by a dubious friend after encountering financial problems.
The original Reykjavik-Rotterdam is Iceland’s submission for this year’s Foreign Language Oscar race and won five of that country’s film awards previously. The English version likely will be relocated to other places rather than Reykjavik, which is the capitol if Iceland, and Rotterdam, a port city on the edge of Holland.
