With only his second narrative feature, Danish writer/director Fenar Ahmad struck success in the festival circuit between now and late last year for his hit film, Darkland. StudioCanal UK now has it own stake in the film with a date pending and for this, an official trailer arrived earlier this month for what may well precede a late summer/early Fall release.
Zaid is a successful surgeon and lives in a fancy apartment with his pregnant girlfriend. One night Zaid’s younger brother, Yasin, knocks on his door and asks his brother for money. Zaid refuses. A few days later Yasin gets assaulted and killed. Since the police are not very helpful, Zaid feels forced to find out who did it himself and embarks on a mission to eliminate all the criminal gangs in Copenhagen. He disguises himself and takes on the criminal underworld. But Zaid’s persistent battle results in serious consequences for himself and his family, and he has to decide if the price of revenge is worth it all.Darkland hails from fledgeling production banner, Profile Pictures. Dar Salim leads the cast with Stine Fischer Christensen, Ali Sivandi and Roland Møller also starring.
The film's next theatrical stop will be in Poland this July. Catch the trailer below!
