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.

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.

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.

We’ve been reporting on “Hearts of Stone” for a while now. The short film, shot in 2021, made the festival rounds earlier this year and is qualified for Oscar consideration by winning Best International at the L.A. Shorts International Film Festival and the Grand Prize for Best Live Action Short at the Rhode Island International Film Festival. The film’s director Tom Van Avermaet has now released a first trailer for the film. Screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery. The official synopsis is below.
In a sculpture park in the heart of a bustling metropolis, Paula, a lonely street artist, entertains people as a living statue. She longs with an impossible love for Agatha, a stone sculpture next to her regular spot. When a festival for living statues arrives in the park, Paula is dismayed to find that Agatha has been replaced by a new, modern sculpture. After a frantic search, she finds Agatha in a group of discarded statues, ready to be taken away. Almost as a farewell, she kisses the object of her affection. Later, at the festival’s closing party, Paula meets Agatha in the flesh.

Noomi is featured in a, let’s say… unique editorial in the October issue of the Brisith Re-Edtion Magazine: Noomi Rapace is something of an instigator. Together with Juergen Teller and Dovile Drizyte, who had been waiting for the right project to shoot in Drizyte’s hometown in Lithuania, the town’s time-frozen post-Soviet bars, industrial grit, and surrounding bucolic greenery serve as an instinctual backdrop for the photographer’s candid lens, spotlighting the debut collection of another close friend of theirs: Séan McGirr for McQueen. “The Swedish actress has proven herself unparalleled in digging into and channeling the most raw, complex nuances of the human condition. From her international career-launching turn as Lisbeth Salander, the whipsmart yet emotionally wounded hacker, in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo to her lead as God-fearing galactic archaeologist Elizabeth Shaw in Ridley Scott’s Prometheus; her eight-part lead as a set of identical octuplets in What Happened To Monday to her heartrending performance grappling with loss, isolation and motherly joy in the deliciously weird Lamb, the characters she plays are defined by a sense of contradiction and irrationality that makes them all the more relatably human”. Previews from their Instagram have been added to the photo gallery. You can order your copy of the issue here.
