The Mist star Danica Curcic is to front Netflix’s Danish original Equinox.

Curcic, who played Mia Lambert in Spike TV’s adaptation of the Stephen King novella, is joined by Viola Martinsen (When The Dust Settles), Lars Brygmann (Dicte) and Hanne Hedelund (Borgen) in the six-part series.

The series is a remake of podcast Equinox 1985 and was created by Tea Lindeburg. It is exec produced by The Killing commissioner Piv Bernth and her ITV Studios-backed company Apple Tree Productions and produced by Dorthe Riis Lauridsen. It is directed by Søren Balle.

Filming has begun on the series, which is a character-driven supernatural thriller about young woman Astrid (Danica Curcic), who is very affected by the unexplainable disappearance of her sister and her school class in 1999. The series is set in Denmark and swipes back and forth between 1999, where it all started, and the present time.

Astrid is only 9 years old in the year 1999 when a class of graduating students inexplicably disappears without a trace. Astrid, who is the sister to one of the missing students becomes traumatized and plagued by horrific visions after her sister’s disappearance. In 2020 Astrid is peacefully living with her family when all of a sudden the nightmares come back and start haunting her. When the one survivor from 1999 mysteriously dies, Astrid is determined to find out what happened to her sister and the class, only to discover a dark and unsettling truth that involves her in ways she never imagined.

“We feel so lucky to have this talented team of actors. It’s exciting to see this story, which has been with me for so long, coming to life in such a beautiful way,” said Lindeburg.

Magnolia Pictures has acquired U.S. rights to the drama “Out Stealing Horses,” starring Stellan Skarsgard and directed by Hans Petter Moland.

The film, based on Per Petterson’s award-winning novel, premiered in competition at the 2019 Berlinale and is Norway’s official Oscar entry for best international feature. Magnolia is planning a theatrical release for next year.

Skarsgard portrays a 67-year-old man who, after the death of his wife, retires to a desolate place in the east of Norway. As winter arrives he discovers he has a neighbor, a man he knew during the summer of 1948.

“Hans Petter Moland has delivered an incredibly well-shot and acted adaptation of a greatly loved novel,” said Magnolia president Eamonn Bowles. “We look forward to bringing it to American audiences.”

The deal was negotiated by Magnolia’s Dori Begley and John Von Thaden with Susan Wendt of Trust Nordisk on behalf of the filmmakers.

Danica has another movie to be released in 2019. Besides The Exception (Undtagelsen), she is now filming The Mothers Group (Mødregruppen in Danish). Read the article below written by Cinema Scandinavia:

The Mothers Group is about a group of new mothers Line (Danica Curcic) takes comfort in after she returns to her hometown after some years spent living luxury in Hong Kong. She had moved there with her husband Bjørn (Anders W. Berthelsen) and they have a young son together, but when Line catches Bjørn having an affair with their nanny, she takes the son and leaves back to Denmark. While Bjørn threatens her into returning, Line adjusts to her live in rural Denmark and the mother’s group helps her out. The group is made up of unique characters, whom we get to know throughout the film.

The comedy is being produced by Zentropa, Lars von Trier’s production company. Their films are known for travelling abroad, so there is a chance that international audiences will see this film. However, it’s very rare that comedies are released abroad. We’ll have to wait and see!

This is also an interesting role for Curcic, who in recent years has played very serious women, whether it be in the Danish drama series Warrior (alongside Dar Salim), or in the Danish drama film Darling, which Curcic had the leading role of a ballet dancer forced to retire after injury. The Mother’s Group certainly sounds like a much more light-hearted role for Curcic.

Other cast members include Anders W. Berthelsen (Mifune, Klassefesten) as Bjørn, and the mothers group comprises of Marijana Jankovic, Lærke Winther, Martin Buch and Stephanie León. The cast also includes Martin Høgsted, Henning Valin, Henrik Birch and Ditte Hansen.

The Mother’s Group is directed by Charlotte Sachs Bostrup and produced by Sisse Graum Jørgensen of Zentropa.

Filming began on the 16th of July around faaborg, Ringe and Aarup in Denmark, and the Danish release date will be the 7th of February 2019.

Danica’s new project, ‘Warrior’ (Kriger, in its original title) will likely air next September and had the first trailer released recently, along with more stills. Check it out:
