There’s still zero news or appearances on any of Noomi’s upcoming projects, so good news we’re still having plenty of material to add to the archives. This time we’ve gone back as far as 2009 – Noomi’s breakout year with “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”. There are new pictures from various photocalls and premieres in Stockholm, Oslo and Smarabio, as well as appearances at the Guldbagge Awards and a taping of “Skavlan” to promote the theatrical release of “Beyond” in 2010. All updates can be found below. Enjoy.

And yet another new project to look forward to. According to Deadline, Kelsey Asbille (Yellowstone), Nicholas Alexander Chavez (Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story), Ben Platt (Theater Camp), Emma Roberts (The Blackcoat’s Daughter), Laura Harrier (BlacKkKlansman) and Noomi Rapace will star in psychological thriller The Technique. The film is the feature directorial debut of Brian McGreevy, who wrote an original script. Plot details are being kept under wraps. Miles Skinner of Hypothesis and Andrea Bucko of Raised By Wolves are producing alongside Jordan Drake, David Duque-Estrada, Chadd Harbold, and Russ Posternak. Zak Williams of Hypothesis, Jordan Claire Robbins, and Nini Le Huynh of Raised By Wolves are Executive Producing alongside John Kalafatis, Joanna Kalafatis, and Daniel Cypress of York Films, as well as Chris K. Daniels of Cinelaunch. Pete McClellan is serving as co-producer. Raised By Wolves is financing the film. This marks the first feature film primarily packaged and produced by Miles Skinner and Zak Williams’ development and production company, Hypothesis. Their growing slate includes the Zach Kuperstien-helmed horror film “The Stairs,” set to begin production in late spring, alongside Matt Creed and India Donaldson’s fugitive road-trip epic “Down To Zero” and Roi Cydulkin’s hard-boiled crime thriller, “Ultra Beige,” among others. Raised By Wolves is a development fund, finance company, and production banner founded by Andrea Bucko of Sugar Rush Pictures and Jordan Claire Robbins. The company has invested in “Alpha Gang,” written and directed by the Zellner Brothers; “Captivated,” written and directed by Dito Montiel; and Gus Van Sant’s “Dead Man’s Wire.” Along with investing through Raised By Wolves, Bucko has produced these films under her Sugar Rush Pictures.
With not many recent appearances, I’ve taken a deep dive into the archives for an update with additional public appearances pictures ranging from 2012 to 2016. It’s quite unbelievable that it’s been 13 years already since Noomi hit it big time in Hollywood with “Prometheus” (pictures from the international promotion tour have been added). Also added are pictures from the 2016 Formula One World Championship, which Noomi attended with director Michael Mann – at that time she was announced to star in Mann’s Enzo Ferrari biopic co-starring Christian Bale. He eventually made this film in 2023, but with Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz. A list of all updated albums can be found below.

Another new project announcement, this time according to Variety: Noomi Rapace is set to star in female-led action thriller “Traction,” which WestEnd Films is bringing to the EFM. Directed by Lorraine Darrow (“Pas Sages”), production is set to begin in August. The high-stake thriller follows Kate (Rapace), a former U.S. soldier leading a humanitarian mission through war-torn Chechnya with her Chechen ally Magomed. But their mission turns deadly as they unwittingly harbor a young rebel, who’s transporting a mysterious package. Darrow said Rapace “brings so much to Kate’s character: strength, vulnerability and subtlety. I’m so impatient to work with her.” WestEnd Films’ Maya Amsellem said: “Following the success of our previous collaboration on ‘Close,’ and with our shared commitment to telling powerful female stories, WestEnd is thrilled to be working again with Lorraine and Noomi on this exciting, action-packed film” Davidson at Elizabeth Bay Prods. said, “I am delighted that the first film from our collaboration with WestEnd and FilmHedge is Traction. We all fell in love with Lorraine’s work and having Noomi playing Kate will do the story justice.” FilmHedge’s Gosier said: “We are excited to have Traction as the first film from our pact with Elizabeth Bay, and we are looking forward to backing the rest of Dennis’ slate.”
Deadline recently reported on talent agent Bonnie Bernstein moving from agency CAA to Gersh, and a couple of her famous clients moving with her, among them Noomi Rapace. This wouldn’t be front page news for the site, but the Deadline article features the following paragraph on Bernstein’s clients: Most recently seen on Apple TV+’s Constellation, Noomi Rapace is about to start shooting on two independent films back to back, “The Technique” and “The End of Us”. This comes as a surprise since neither “The Technique” nor “The End of Us” are known titles that have been previously announced or discussed. The article does not give any further information – and there is nothing online about either project. So, either there will be two additional surprise projects for this year, or someone falsley copied two projects from another talent into Rapace’s mention. We will see. In other film news, according to Film News Europe, Teona Strugar Mitevska is currently in postproduction with her seventh feature film “Mother”. The film, focusing on a pivotal moment in the life of Mother Teresa, is set in 1948 Calcutta. The narrative unfolds over seven days as Mother Teresa prepares to leave St. Mary’s convent to establish her own religious order. She appoints Sister Agnieszka as her successor, who soon confides that she is pregnant and seeks an abortion, placing Mother Teresa in a profound moral dilemma. Besides Rapace in the titular role, Sylvia Hoeks is Sister Agnieszka, and Nikola Ristanovski plays Father Friedrich, Mother Teresa’s confidant.
Here comes a fantastic addition to the archives – one I did not think we’d ever see. In 2001, Noomi co-starred in a three-part miniseries called “Pusselbitar”, which marked her second on-screen appearance after the soap opera “Tre Kronor” in the late 1990s. “Pusselbitar” (meaning “puzzle pieces”) is an ensemble drama about the Swedish Hallberg family and their changing love lives. Their son, Joel, meets the girl of his dreams – a 21-year old Noomi Norén, still going by her birth name. But as so often, life has other plans for Joel. Noomi appeared in all three episodes of the series, although her scenes are rather brief. If you want to learn more about the series, have a look at the career pages with an episode guide. Screencaptures can be found in the photo gallery. Enjoy your weekend.

Lots of additional production stills from Noomi’s performances on film, television and theatre have been added to the photo gallery. Among the highlights is a wonderful new still from one of her earliest theatre performances in “Kameliendamen” at the Oriontheatern opposite Ola Rapace in 2000. New stills, on-set pictures from “Stockholm”, “Close”, “Django” and “Assassin Club” have been added as well. A full list can be found below. Enjoy.

Happy New Year everybody. In 2025, we can look forward to two feature films that have been wrapped already – Agnieszka Smoczyńska’ “Hot Spot” and Teona Strugar Mitevska’s “Mother” – fingers crossed that the latter, and Noomi’s performance of Mother Theresa, will bring her career some well-deserved attention. In the meantime, some changes have been made to the site’s layout and subpages, and a couple of additional editorial pictures have been posted to the photo gallery, as listed below.

On Friday, Noomi Rapace was invited to the 2024 Les Arcs Film Festival in France. After attending a photocall, she joined actress and director Ariane Labed in a discussion on their careers and the place of women in cinema, in partnership with Le Lab Femmes de Cinéma. Hopefully there’ll be more pictures or a video of the conversation panel later. For now, enjoy some wonderful pictures from the photocall.
