Here comes an exciting video clip – the teaser trailer for the upcoming thriller “Babycall”. In its 30 seconds it gives you a great idea of the film’s chilling mood. Definately something to look forward to! “Babycall” is set to release this February in Sweden and March in Norway.
Dread Central has posted a more extensive synopsis on “Babycall”, to be released in Sweden on February 15, 2011: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’s Noomi Rapace is without question a hot ticket item in the world of movies, and we’re happy to report that with the new Norwegian flick Babycall she’ll be dabbling in the horror genre! In Norwegian theatres February 15, 2011, Pål Sletaune’s Babycall also stars Kristoffer Joner and Vetle Qvenild Werring. Babycall follows Anna (Rapace) and her eight-year-old son, Anders, who are under the witness protection program following a difficult relationship with Anders’ father. They move into a large apartment complex. Anna becomes overprotective of her son and even buys a babycall to keep track of him. Soon, strange noises from other apartments appear on the monitor, and Anna overhears what might be the murder of a child. Meanwhile, Anders’ mysterious new friend starts visiting at odd hours, claiming that he has keys for all the doors in the building … Does this new friend know anything about the murder? And why is Anders’ drawing stained with blood? Is Anna’s son still in danger?
A new production still as well as a couple of on-set pictures from the upcoming “Babycall” have been added to the gallery.
A very interesting article on Noomi’s upcoming projects courtesy The Hollywood Reporter from May 2005. Noomi Rapace, the star of Swedish hit “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” will not reprise her role as goth hacker Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher’s English-language adaptation of the Stieg Larsson best-seller. Speaking to THR in Cannes, Rapace said after two years shooting the Larsson “Millennium” trilogy in Swedish, she has had enough of Salander and would not accept the role even if Fincher offered it to her. “No, I’m done with her (Lisbeth), and it’s up to somebody else to step into her shoes,” Rapace said. “I don’t like to repeat myself. So it’s better if someone else does it.” But Rapace did suggest that Fincher and producer Scott Rudin expand their casting call beyond the A-listers (Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan are among those thought to be vying for the part) to include some lesser-known names. “I hope they won’t take, you know, a big celebrity … because sometimes the fame makes it difficult to believe in (the character), especially Lisbeth, who is very complicated and dark and so on,” she said. “So I hope they take someone who is a little less known. Not one of the biggest ones. We’ll see.”
