The first trailer for the new adaptation of Jo Nesbø's crime thriller The Snowman arrived a couple of months ago. Here's the new look at the movie.
Featuring the hard-nosed investigative style of Nesbø's Harry Hole character, the story finds Michael Fassbender as the Oslo cop, a boozy, fags-and-fatalism maverick in the best traditions of movie ‘tecs like Jake Gittes and Popeye Doyle. He's in his early ‘40s in the books and an outsider in his own department, but is still dogged in investigating a missing persons case launched when a woman’s pink scarf is found wrapped around the neck of an ominous-looking snowman.
For Hole, there's another level too, as the case appears to indicate that a notorious serial killer has returned for some extra slaytime. With Rebecca Ferguson, J.K. Simmons, Charlotte Gainsbourg and James D'Arcy in the cast, the movie will be out on 13 October.
