Noomi Rapace Set to Star in Netflix's Post-Apocalyptic Thriller BLACK CRAB
Noomi Rapace (Prometheus) is set to take on the lead role of Netflix’s upcoming post-apocalyptic film project Black Crab. Rapace is a solid actress, and this is going to be an awesome project for her to be a part of.
The movie is an adaptation of Swedish writer Jerker Virdborg’s thriller novel. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world during an endless winter, and it follows six soldiers who are sent on a dangerous mission across the frozen sea to transport a package that could finally end the war.
Rapace said in a statement, “I’m very excited to come back to Sweden and do Black Crab. My first Swedish film in years. Can’t wait to get suited up and go on this journey – explore human shadows and slide through broken dreams and a world on edge. Survival to what price?”
David Kosse, Vice President International Original Film at Netflix, added, “This project combines so many great attributes: a compelling story, a strong creative team and of course an incredibly talented lead actress. We are looking forward to a great collaboration with Adam and the team at Indio and are confident that our members in Sweden and the rest of the world will enjoy this movie.”
Mattias Montero, Founder and Producer, Indio went on to say, “As a Swede you grow up knowing you live in a country of peace and equality, all in all life’s good and safe here. But lately, we have all learned how fragile our societies are due to pandemics, civil wars, global warming and economic chaos. How would it be to wake up one day in a totally destroyed and war torn Sweden? Producing Black Crab is about flipping the coin and from a Scandinavian perspective show what happens to humanity when chaos arrives. It’s a big production and a great challenge and thanks to Netflix we can tell this Swedish story to a global audience.”
Black Crab is being directed by Adam Berg, and this will be his feature film debut after a career of helming music videos and commercials. He will start production on the film in Sweden in 2021.
