Rebecca Ferguson and Charlotte Gainsbourg also star in the film, which is directed by Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy helmer Tomas Alfredson.
In a recent interview with Digital Spy in the UK, Fassbender had the following to say abot the film.
“It’s got that Scandi-noir element to it, for sure,” he said. “I think it’s going to be very rich. I love working with Tomas Alfredson. He’s an absolutely great filmmaker. And I think it’s going to be scary, and I think it’s going to be edge-of-the-seat stuff.”
“I like it because Harry Hole’s a very flawed genius in his department of work. He’s an excellent detective. But he kind of goes off the rails. He’s very human. Let’s say, if there was a fight sequence with somebody. He’s not Jack Reacher. He comes off the worse for wear a lot of the times in these encounters. And I like that. There’s something kind of funny about that. I find that there’s really comical elements there.”
We’ve got a little while to wait for the film yet with a UK debut set for the 13th October. Toby Jones and J.K. Simmons. Check out the fist images from the film, courtesy of The Film Stage.
