‘Mules’ Smuggle Drugs into New Thriller
ScreenDaily shared the first still for Mules, the Nordic thriller written and directed by Börkur Sigthorsson (Trapped TV series) and produced by Baltasar Kormakur (Everest).
Mules follows two antagonistic brothers whose lives spiral out of control after they smuggle drugs into their native Iceland using a young Polish girl as their mule.
The first image features rising Polish actress Anna Próchniak (The Innocents) who plays the drugs mule. The film also stars Gisli Örn Garðarsson (The Oath), Baltasar Breki Samper (Trapped), and Danish actress Marijana Jankovic (Everything Will be Fine, Norskov TV series).
“Sharp-suited Erik represents the aspirational face of modern Iceland. Atli, a petty criminal just released from prison, is stuck in a downward spiral.
The distance between these two very different brothers vanishes when the duo teams up to smuggle cocaine into Iceland, inside plastic pellets swallowed by a young Polish mule, Sofia.
But things go wrong when rule-breaking cop Lena starts closing in on them and Sofia falls sick. With the drugs yet to reach their destination and a rival gang demanding a slice of the action, time is a luxury that the brothers can’t afford.
Charismatic anti-hero Erik’s ability to stay one step ahead is tested to the limit – how many lives is he willing to sacrifice to sustain his own?”
Mules is produced by Kormákur and Agnes Johansen (Trapped) and include crew such as Editor Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir (John Wick) and Bergsteinn Bjorgulfsson (Of Horses And Men).
The film, which finished shooting in April is currently in post-production. WestEnd will continue handling world sales in Cannes where they will be showing buyers a first promo of the film.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
