Noomi Rapace Plays Seven Identical Sisters in New Trailer for WHAT HAPPENED TO MONDAY
We've got a new look at Netflix's upcoming sci-fi thriller What Happened to Monday, in a trailer and poster. The movie stars Noomi Rapace, Willem Dafoe and Glenn Close and is directed by Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow).
The movie takes place in a not so distant future, "where overpopulation and famine have forced governments to undertake a drastic 'One Child Policy,' seven identical sisters live a hide-and-seek existence pursued by the Child Allocation Bureau. The Bureau, directed by the fierce Nicolette Cayman (Close), enforces a strict family-planning agenda that the sisters outwit by taking turns assuming the identity of one person: Karen Settman (Rapace). Taught by their grandfather (Dafoe) who raised and named them – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday – each can go outside once a week as their common identity, but are only free to be themselves in the prison of their own apartment. That is until, one day, Monday does not come home…"
It's a pretty awesome premise and could make for a very entertaining film. Rapace's roles could be challenging, but if done right I'm sure she'll manage to impress audiences. We already saw James McAvoy portray many different personalities in M. Night Shyamalan's Split so brilliantly, so it will be interesting to see how Rapace manages to pull off seven different characters in this film.
The movie is set to be released on Netflix on August 18th!
