Greatest Scandinavian movie project ever

Krister Henriksson will play Henning Mankell- character Kurt Wallander when 13 new movies with the Swedish police officer are being filmed on location in Ystad, Sweden.

It is a Yellow Bird production and Swedish TV4, ARD/Degeto Film, Canal+ Television, Swedish Film Industry and Film in Skåne takes part in the project, which is the greatest international movie venture ever in Scandinavia, with a budget of 190 million Swedish kronor (about 20 million euro).

The story line of each movie is written by some of Sweden's best known script writers and takes place in and around the city of Ystad in southern Sweden.

Kurt Wallander and his colleagues are accompanied by Kurts daughter Linda, newly graduated from the police academy, and Stefan Lindman - a character you might remember from the novel The Return of the Dancing Master.
