Jo Nesbo’s Headhunters enjoyed another slim drop at the UK box office this weekend to bring its total gross so far to £1,037,000, becoming the UK’s highest grossing foreign language film release of 2012.
Jo Nesbo’s Headhunters is the best-selling author’s first novel to be adapted for film.
It tells the story of the charismatic Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie), a successful corporate headhunter by day and prolific art thief by night, who is lured into a dangerous game of cat and mouse when he goes after the biggest heist of his life.
Directed by Morten Tyldum (What Happened To Monday) and produced by Yellow Bird, the production company behind the phenomenally successful Millennium trilogy and Wallander,
Headhunters also stars NIkolaj Coster-Waldau (Game Of Thrones, Mama, Oblivion), Synnove Macody Lund and Julie R. Olgaard (The Killing.)
