Pilou Asbaek Joins Star-Studded Cast in 'Blood on Snow' Adaptation

Danish actor Pilou Asbaek, famed for his role in 'Game of Thrones', is set to join heavyweights Benedict Cumberbatch and Aaron Taylor-Johnson in an indie film adaptation of Jo Nesbo's crime thriller, 'Blood on Snow'. The movie explores the story of Olav, a hitman played by Taylor-Johnson, who finds himself emotionally entangled with his latest target, the wife of his mob boss.

Asbaek described his experience working on the project as 'incredible', praising the team's cooperation and the emotional depth of the narrative. 'The team, cast, and crew are exceptional, and I'm proud to be involved in a project that has so much heart. I can't wait for audiences to see it,' the 43-year-old actor said.

While Asbaek's specific role remains a secret, the film boasts a script co-written by Nesbo and Ben Power and is helmed by director Fukunaga, known for 'True Detective' and 'No Time to Die'. The production, involving names like Mike Larocca and Michael Schaefer, began earlier this year in Latvia.
