The BBC and Rtl have bought “The Investigation,” the upcoming drama about the murder of Swedish journalist Kim Wall. It comes from Tobias Lindholm, the writer-director behind Oscar-nominated picture “A War.”
Lindholm’s TV credits include Nordic hit “Borgen” and Netflix drama “Mindhunter.” Fremantle’s Miso Film is on production duty. Fremantle is distributing and closed the U.K. and German deals, meaning it has pre-sold the series to major free-tv broadcasters in Europe’s two largest markets. It will be targeting more deals on the show at Mipcom in Cannes, next week.
Six-part series “The Investigation” follows the complex investigation carried out by Jens Møller, the head of homicide for the Copenhagen Police, surrounding the murder of Wall. She was a freelance Swedish journalist who boarded a submarine to interview its owner, Peter Madsen. She was subsequently killed and entrepreneur Madsen faced a highly publicized trial and was convicted of her murder.

Tobias Lindholm, director of 2016 Oscar nominee A War, is set to write and helm crime series The Investigation. Based on the probe into the murder of Swedish journalist Kim Wall, the drama is being developed by Miso Film, Denmark’s TV2 and TV4 and Sweden’s C More.
The six-part series centers on the Copenhagen Police and its Head of Homicide, Jens Møller’s investigation and follows the methodical, unusual and technical work that enabled them to solve Wall’s murder. The case has been in the headlines this year after entrepreneur Peter Madsen was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in April, following a widely publicized trial.

Wall, a freelance journalist, was brutally killed and then dismembered while reporting on entrepreneur Peter Madsen and his midget submarine. After an exhaustive investigation by Jens Moller, the Head of Homicide for the Copenhagen Police, Madsen was eventually convicted of Wall's murder.

The film is based on Peter Madsen’s comic-book series.
TrustNordisk has boarded sales for Danish director Fenar Ahmad’s pan-Nordic production Valhalla, which has shot in Denmark, Sweden, Iceland and wraps its shoot in Norway this week. The first image of the film features Roland Møller as Thor.
The film is quite different than Ahmad’s gritty urban feature Darkland (which was a box-office hit in Denmark).

Danish submarine inventor Peter Madsen claimed in court testimony on Tuesday that he buried Swedish journalist Kim Wall at sea last month after she was killed in an accident on his privately-built underwater vessel, according to multiple reports.
The 46-year-old Madsen described his version of the events surrounding Wall’s death during an hours-long court hearing in Copenhagen, Denmark, according to the Guardian, the New York Times and Reuters.
After that proceeding, Madsen was ordered held for four more weeks and the charge against him was upgraded from involuntary manslaughter to manslaughter, the Danish legal equivalent of murder, according to these reports.

The Cookers: Believe (Motema)
I love this group for featuring Billy Harper, one of the most underrated tenor saxophonists and jazz composers on the scene. That said, it is pretty much an all-star band; the arguable exception, trumpeter David Weiss -- the youngest member -- is the arranger of all the non-Harper tracks on the band's third album, and thus puts as much of a stamp on the project as anyone. The other players are trumpeter Eddie Henderson, long a member of Harper's superb quintet; alto saxophonist Craig Handy, the second-youngest member, who used to have another band with Weiss (pop-culture aside: they also collaborated on the music for The Cosby Mysteries); and the ace rhythm section of pianist George Cables, bassist Cecil McBee, and drummer Billy Hart, all three of whom contribute compositions here.

As SpaceX completes safety tests on its potential human space capsule, and a European outfit preps its innovative rocket for a test launch, it's obvious that some of the most exciting space news at the moment is coming from folks other than Nasa.
Copenhagen Suborbitals
In just one week's time, on August 30th, Danish company Copenhagen Suborbitals is going to put everything on the line and try a test launch of its full Heat rocket system--a vehicle that one day soon may be used to carry human passengers on a quick "popgun" ride into (as the name implies) suborbital space. The mission is something akin to Virgin Galactic's plans to ferry passengers into the void aboard its SpaceShipTwo vehicle, just using a pure rocket rather than a combination airborne launcher-flight vehicle system.
It's being lauded as the world's first amateur effort to launch people into space, and it's the culmination...
