«The Hanging Sun», Sky announces a new film with Alessandro Borghi

Kåsund is a small town in Norway, lost in the thick of the forest. Rarely, the sun sets beyond the horizon, invading the human existence of a light that makes it difficult to rhythm the passage of time. day and night appear identical in Kåsund, where a man has asked for refuge. John, as it was decided to call him in The Hanging Sun, new Sky Original film, arrived suddenly, out of nowhere: from a past of which he can say little. The drugs, the revenge, the hired assassins to kill him.

Nothing John has tried to leave behind can find substance in the words, mystified just enough to persuade a mother and her son to give him hospitality. In Kåsund, where the sun never stops beating e Jo Nesbø set one of his thrillers.

Midnight Sun, published by Einaudi in 2016, is the novel that Stefano Kisses, former writer of Gomorrah e The young pope, had to adapt for the big screen. The story, according to the synopsis released by Sky, hasn’t changed much. John, role assigned to Alessandro Borghi, he is the man Nesbø described as tormented, lost between the possibility of redemption and the cynical belief that hope is nothing more than a chimera. Jessica Brown Findlay she is the woman called to welcome the stranger, Francesco Carrozzini the director chosen to shape Bises’s images, in a film whose first take will be released in September.

The shooting of The Hanging Sun they will start at the end of summer in Norway. The film, an Italian-British co-production, will then have a passage to the cinema, before being released on Sky and NowTv.
