“Stockholm” will have its world-premiere today at the Tribeca Film Festival. Directed by Robert Burdreau, the film is based on a 1973 bank heist and hostage crisis that was documented a year later in a New Yorker article titled “The Bank Drama” by Daniel Lang. Lars Nystrom (Hawke) dons a disguise to raid a central Stockholm bank. He then takes hostages, one of them being Bianca (Noomi Rapace), a wife and mother of two, in order to spring his pal Gunnar (Mark Strong) from prison. Negotiations with detectives come to a halt when the police refuse to let Lars leave in a getaway car with the hostages. As hours turn into days, Lars alternates between threatening the hostages and making them feel comfortable and secure. The hostages develop an uneasy relationship with their captor, which is particularly complex for Bianca, who develops a strong bond with Lars as she witnesses his caring nature. The Bianca-Lars relationship gives rise to the psychological phenomenon known as “Stockholm Syndrome” — hence the title of the film. Make sure to check back for reviews tomorrow.

Last week, Noomi Rapace (aka The Girl with the Funny Green Hat :-) was a guest on the Swedish talkshow Skavlan for a chat about her career and the upcoming thriller “Stockholm” (which will have its world-premiere at this month’s Tribeca Film Festival). Unfortunately there’s no version of the appearnce to embed to the video archive, so you have to check out the SVT website to watch the whole show. Screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery.

Noomi was a surprise guest – and a vision in white – at yesterday’s 43rd Annual César Film Awards in Paris. Together with Lucien Jean-Baptist, she took the stage to present the César for Best Original Screenplay to Robin Campillo. Pictures from the arrivals and the show have been added to the photo gallery, a segment of her presentation has been added to the video archive. Enjoy.

Lots of video clips from “Bright” and its promotion have been added to the video archive. This week, the third and final trailer for the film has been released, featuring a couple more scenes with Noomi (in which she actually speaks :-) as well as a first promotional clip from a shootout with Will Smith. Then, there are clips from both the Los Angeles and London premiere of the film, the Los Angeles press conference and a new press junket with Edgar Ramirez and Lucy Fry. And if you haven’t watched her Conan appearance yet, be sure to re-visit it in the video archive as well. A full list of last added clips can be found below.

On Wednesday, Noomi channeled her inner Sia for an appearance on “Conan” to promote the December 22 release of “Bright” on Netflix. You can check out her appearance in the video archive with screencaptures being added to the photo gallery.

Yesterday, director Tommy Wirkola, Noomi Rapace and the team of “What Happened to Monday” presented the film at the 2017 Torino Film Festival in Turin, Italy. “Monday” released this Spring in France, during the Summer in the United States on Netflix, and is awaiting various theatrical releases throughout Europe by the end of 2017 / early 2018. Pictures from the film festival’s photocall and press conference have been added to the photo gallery. A press junket interview with Noomi can be found in the video archive. Edit: Lots of additional pictures have been added with many thanks to Marinka for the heads-up, as well as two more interviews with Noomi and Giannetto De Rossi, the hair and make-up designer on “What Happened to Monday”.

Another “Bright” trailer has been launched today by Netflix, giving us yet some new bits of Noomi’s evil elf Leilah. If they keep up the pace of releasing promotional stuff until it’s Netflix peremiere on December 22, we can consider ourselves lucky. The trailer can be watched below and in the video archive, screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery.
