Pusher and its two sequels make one of the best gangster movie trilogies of all time. The 1996 Danish film was director Nicolas Winding Refn's debut feature: an explosive way to begin a filmography that would later include other cult classics like Bronson, Drive and Only God Forgives.

The trilogy explores the drug dealing scene in Copenhagen through three main characters, one at the forefront of each film.

Much like the greatest gangster trilogy of all time, The Godfather, the...

What do you do if you're the producers of one of the biggest genre hits in your region's history?  If you're the producers of Norwegian zombie comedy Dead Snow you bring back the whole crew that made that earlier effort so successful, pick another genre, recruit a few new faces - preferably specialists in the new playground - and you do it again, that's what!

Dead Snow producers Kjetil Omberg and Terje Stromstad are poised to release their latest effort, Tomme Tonner, on the world in January.  And, yes, fans of Dead Snow, almost the entire cast have parts in the ensemble here - including an acting role for Dead Snow director Tommy Wirkola - with regional favorites Kim Bodnia (Pusher) and Kristoffer Joner (Next Door) taking the leads.  And who's that standing behind Bodnia in the poster?  Yep, that's Slavko Labovic, who will always be known as that guy...

This teaser is a bit rough as the film's still in post-production, but it looks great! The movie stars Stephanie Leon (Hush Little Baby), David Sakurai (Fighter), Daniell Edwards (Westbrick Murders), Erik Holmey (Conan The Barbarian) and Slavko Labovic from the Pusher trilogy!
