Trailer for Stellan Skarsgård's WHAT REMAINS Inspired by Sweden's Most Notorious Serial Killer

This is a trailer for an upcoming Scandinavian crime thriller titled What Remains, which is inspired by Sweden’s most notorious serial killer, Thomas Quick AKA Sture Bergwall.

During the 1990s, at a Scandinavian psychiatric hospital, “a man known as Mads Lake confessed to multiple murders and was convicted. However, the uneasy triumvirate of Mads, therapist Anna Rudebeck and policeman Soren Rank, all have a vested interest in unearthing the truth, as a deepening co-dependency threatens to consume them all. Inspired by true events.”

Thomas Quick confessed to more than 30 murders over three decades, the first murder he committed was when he was only 14-years old. He later retracted his confessions, saying that he had been heavily medicated and seeking attention.

A group of Swedish journalists following the case claimed that a “cult”-like group led by psychologist Margit Norell manipulated the police and talked Bergwall into giving false confessions. His case is now considered Sweden’s most infamous miscarriage of justice.

The movie comes from writer and director Ran Huang, and it also stars Gustaf Skarsgård (Vikings), Andrea Riseborough (To Leslie) and Stellan Skarsgård (Dune: Part Two).

The director made his directorial debut with this movie and it took him seven years to make, and it will be released in theaters and on VOD on June 21st.
