We now have the first international trailer for Fenar Ahmad’s upcoming action thriller Darkland, releasing in January.
Darkland stars Dar Salim (Games of Thrones) as the lead. He will be joined by Stine Fischer Christensen (After the Wedding), Roland Møller (Land of Mine) and Dulfi Al-Jabouri (A War).
The film tells the story of Zaid, played by Salim, a successful surgeon who lives with his pregnant girlfriend, played by Christensen. One night, Zaid’s younger brother knocks on his door and asks for money. Zaid refuses, but a few days later, his brother is assaulted and killed.
With little help from the police, Zaid feels obligated to find out who murdered him and embarks on a mission to eliminate all criminal gangs in Copenhagen by disguising himself and entering the criminal underworld. He must decide if the price of revenge is worth risking it all.
Darkland is director Ahmad’s second feature film. His shortfilm Megaheavy was selected for the Generation section at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2009.
Darkland is produced by Jacob Jarek for Profile Pictures with support from Danish Film Institut, DR and Scanbox Entertainment. It is executive produced by Thor Sigurjonsson, Ditte Milsted and Caroline Schlüter Bingestam. (ScreenDaily)
