TrustNordisk Releases ‘The Kraken’ (Exclusive)
Norwegian monster pic “Kraken,” directed by Pål Øie, has inked a trio of European distribution deals ahead of its 2025 release. The film, inspired by the legendary deep-sea creature, has been picked up by Splendid Film for Germany, Mediawan Rights for France and Youplanet for Spain. These acquisitions follow earlier sales to North America (Samuel Goldwyn Films) and Latin America (Gussi).
“Kraken” follows marine biologist Johanne as she investigates strange occurrences linked to a local fjord. As deadly events unfold, she uncovers a terrifying myth lurking beneath the water’s surface — a giant, multi-armed monster capable of destroying everything in its path.
The film stars Sara Khorami, best known for her role in the Norwegian dramedy “Nothing to Laugh About” (2022), Mikkel Bratt Silset (“Shadow of Victory”), Ingvild Holthe Bygdnes (“The Tunnel” 2019), Steinar Klouman Hallert (“Sick of Myself”) and young actor Jenny Evensen.
