Being billed as a comedic thriller, Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead) and Lena Headey (“Game of Thrones”) will lead the cast of the upcoming Svalta, Deadline reports this morning.
Deadline notes, “The film will follow a family on their summer vacation to a remote island with a dark past. There, they discover that a serial killer is on the loose and that unfortunately for them, the hostile locals have no interest in helping them.”
Frost and Headey are playing the central couple, targeted by a serial killer.
Steffen Haars and Flip van der Kuil (“New Kids”) direct, and Nick Frost wrote the script.
Frost said in a statement, “Take a gentle English family and send them on holiday to a tiny Swedish island full of maniacs. Simple. Not so much Nuts In May. More ‘Nuts in Mayhem’. After working with Lena in Fighting with My Family I couldn’t imagine anyone else in the world I’d want to play Susan. So I was absolutely thrilled when I heard she’d not only read the script but she actually liked it enough to do me the great honour of saying yes and once again being my on-screen wife.”
Deadline also reports today that Wayward Entertainment, Resolute Films, Film Service Finland, XYZ Films and Frost are producing, with XYZ Films handling world sales.
