Coster-Waldau will play a reformed hunter who becomes involved in a deadly game of cat and mouse when he sets out to track a vicious killer who may have kidnapped his daughter years ago.
“The Silencing is a visceral thriller filled with complex characters, each with a dark past beridden with guilt,” Lui said. “I’m delighted to have XYZ Films present this at Cannes, and thrilled to work with the uber-talented Anders in making his English-language feature debut. From his work on Taboo to the Finnish franchise Vares, Anders consistently delivers striking visuals combined with intense performances. I’m sure his vision for Nikolaj’s hunt for the killer will keep us on the edge of our seats.”
