I thought I had a handle on all of Anders Thomas Jensen's current projects but I somehow overlooked Mørke, a dark thriller he co-wrote and which stars two of my favored Danes in Nichlaj Lie Kaas and Nicolas Bro, until stumbling across the trailer just now.

Damn fine trailer. Stellar, even. Watch it now.

Here's the synopsis from the Edinburgh Film Festival web site:

"Jacob has only just managed to come to terms with his sister Julie's attempted suicide (an incident which has left her seriously disabled), when she announces her marriage to Anker, whom she apparently met on the internet. But then, on her wedding night, Julie successfully takes her own life. Months later, Jacob remains disturbed by the oddness her death, and tracks down her former fiancée, now living in the eerie rural village of Mørke - and about to marry another disabled woman... Co-scripted by acclaimed screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen (responsible for many of the Dogme titles), this gripping, glossy thriller is ripe for a Hollywood remake."
