Mads Mikkelsen Set to Star in the Action Spy Thriller THE BLACK KAISER
Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal) is set to star in a new action spy thriller titled The Black Kaiser, which will be directed by Jonas Akerlund (Lords of Chaos, Clark).
The movie is based on the Dark Horse graphic novel Polar by Victor Santos, and the film was written by Jayson Rothwell and Mikkelsen.
In the film, “the Black Kaiser (Mikkelsen), the world’s most lethal hitman, uncovers a deadly conspiracy protecting a powerful syndicate of killers, and becomes their number one target.”
The film is being produced by Resident Evil duo Jeremy Bolt and Robert Kulzer. XYZ Films will executive produce and Bolt said in a statement, “We are very excited to be working with the brilliant Mads Mikkelsen and the visionary Jonas Akerlund on what will be an explosive, action packed, funny, unexpected and little insane and emotional journey.”
This sounds like a cool project for Mikkelsen, and I’m sure that he’ll be great in it. The guy always delivers those great performances!
