NEON Smell Success for Troll Love Story ‘Border’
NEON just landed North American rights in Cannes to the Swedish troll love story Border following its world premiere in Un Certain Regard on Friday night, ScreenDaily is reporting.
Ali Abbasi directed the feature based on a short story by the author of Let the Right One In, John Ajvide Lindqvist.
“Border tells the story of a border guard played by Eva Melander who has the ability to smell human emotions and catch smugglers. When she comes across a mysterious man with a smell that confounds her detection, she is forced to confront hugely disturbing insights about herself and humankind.”
Border is the second feature from Iranian-born Danish director Abbasi, who co-wrote the screenplay with Isabella Eklöf, in collaboration with Lindqvist.
Nina Bisgaard, Piodor Gustafsson and Petra Jönsson of Meta Film Stockholm produced with Spark Film & TV and Kärnfilm, in co-production with Meta Film Denmark, together with Film i Väst, SVT and Copenhagen Film Fund.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.

Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.

Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
