Mark Walhberg has signed up to star in a remake of an Icelandic film we haven't even seen yet, Reykjavik**-Rotterdam**, a thriller that's Iceland's submission to this year's Oscars. The remake's expected to relocate the action elsewhere, so be prepared for a possible title change there when this one becomes geographically misleading.
The film centres on Christopher (well, Kristófer really), a former alcohol smuggler (what with the price of booze in Iceland being crazy-high) turned security guard who is lured back into the business by a dubious friend after he gets himself into a financial pickle. But of course it's not that easy: cue involvement with a violent drug dealer and danger for Christopher's family as well as himself.
The original was directed by Óskar Jónasson, but this version will be directed by the star of the original, Baltasar Kormákur. Prisoners writer Aaron Guzikowski is on scripting duties, and will presumably be trying to figure out what else one can smuggle these days.
