The Snowman (Fassbender)

[Black Narcissus]

 

[Boom]

Harry.

Hole.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I'm really looking forward to this trailer.

One thing I really hope is that they remove a lot of the red herrings that the book had which were too many which felt for the sake of misdirection.

James D'Arcy is in the movie aswell.

 

[Black Narcissus]

J.K. Simmons and Scandinavian actors Jakob Oftebro, Sofia Helin and David Dencik have been added to the cast of The Snowman according to Norwegian media.

Christ I'm turning into one of those guys. One of the finest actors around is playing Harry Hole and all I can think is how his hair doesn't look right....god help me!

Fassbender has the most interesting hairline in Hollywood after Mads Mikkesen. They have five heads, but it's on the cusp where they can slick back their hair, and it'll look fine.

Dane Dahaane on the other hand..

 

[Black Narcissus]

Val Kilmer has a cameo, also mo' castings:

Toby Jones

Britt Robertson

The role Fassbender is playing has to be the worst character name in literary and cinematic history. It's worse than something out of Austin Powers. I don't even care if it's unintentional -- come up with ANY OTHER name but that. I would be perfectly content with Harry Johnson. I'm refusing to see the movie based on this point alone. There's a zero% chance I'll be able to take it seriously. I don't even care if it makes a billion dollars and has universal acclaim. I saw the book at Barnes & Noble the other day and considered buying it because so many people love it, but then I looked at the back cover and saw HARRY HOLE printed on it, and there's just no way I'll be able to get past the first 10 pages. I'm not trying to be sarcastic either. It's insulting to the reader (and viewer) to think that such a name would be a coincidence in a serious story. You mean to tell me the author sat down and came up with that name and it NEVER occurred to him once throughout 500 pages of typing that he might've conjured up an awful name?

This post wins the internet.

I hope it's good. Haven't seen Fassbender in a good movie in a very long time (Macbeth was so-so) and Ferguson is fantastic

 

[Doctor Jones]

Trailer should be coming soon then. I hope this is good.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Im dying for a trailer...this has the potential to be great.

 

[:eek:]

Are you aware that it's a Norwegian name?

Harry Hole (pronounced "Harry HOO-LEH")

Harry Hole (pronounced "Harry HOO-LEH")

Thanks for that clarification.
I have heard the author talk about Harry and I knew his last name wasn't pronounced the way that it is spelled.

Filming is done.

Last year I was on a home guard exercise with a guy that drove the snowmobile for the cast and crew. He spoiled the ending too.

A brief summary from me, if you bastahs interested:

The Snowman

I did not like the dark humor from the lead character (his name is Harry Hole). Lawd. A very dark/violent and sexy thriller in the tone of Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. A few twists and the third act gets a bit iffy, but good time reading it. They did not hold back on the violence. I will be shocked if this ain't rated R. Fassy and Rebecca Ferguson as police partners tho, that is worth the ticket price alone.
