A few days ago shooting began in the Faroe Islands for Danish/Faroese horror movie “No Rest for the Wicked” starring Danish actor Pilou Asbæk, known for his roles as Kasper Juul in DR’s “Borgen” and Euron Greyjoy in HBO’s “Game of Thrones”.
Written by Rasmus Birch and based on short story ‘Manor’ by Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, “No Rest for the Wicked” has Lars Bredo Rahbek as producer and Kasper Kalle Skovsbøl as director.
The story centers around a Danish whaler, Helge, who saves a Faroese local from drowning in 1872. At first he is met with gratitude, but his arrival ends up turning things upside down for the isolated island community.
The cast includes Faroese model Jegor Venned and musician Helena Heinesen Rebensdorf, best known by her stage name Brimheim, as well as Búi Egason Dam, Sofía Nolsøe Mikkelsen and Kjartan Hansen, we’re told.
Shooting of the film is expected to take six weeks. The movie is to premiere in 2025.
