Enough talk. It's time to show you something.
We first brought word of upcoming Norwegian action-comedy Norwegian Ninja (Kommandør Treholt & Ninjatroppen) back in September and we have been anxiously awaiting the first scraps of footage ever since. A revisionist history of Arne Treholt - an actual Norwegian politician and diplomat convicted of high treason and spying on behalf of the Soviet Union and Iraq in 1984 - the film asks what if Treholt was not so treasonous after all, but a deep cover double agent leading a band of Norwegian Ninja?
Norwegian Ninja is the true story of how Commander Arne Treholt and his Ninja Force saved Norway during the Cold War. In 1983 the Ninja Force discovers that the Shadow Government, who take charge in times of war and emergency, are planning a coup-d'état in peacetime. Treholt and the ninjas see only one solution: a solid can of whoop-ass!
Eric Vogel - a co-producer on Metropia who also had a hand in Twitch fave The Bothersome Man - produces with writer-director Thomas Cappelen Malling at the helm and some of the Dead Snow folk lurking on the background.
But I promised the time for talk was over and it is. With the film now in post and preparing for a mid-August release the first teaser has just arrived and we've got your very first look. Check it out below and you'll never look at a fjord the same way again.
