Studiocanal will handle worldwide sales at the Toronto Intl. Film Festival on “The Jonsson Gang” from “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” and “Let The Right One In” director Tomas Alfredson.
A reboot of a successful Swedish film series, “The Jonsson Gang” follows a gang gone legit who reunite for one last heist. It stars Henrik Dorsin (“Triangle of Sadness”), Hedda Stiernstedt (“The Restaurant”), David Sundin (“Taskmaster”), Myanna Buring (“Downton Abbey”) and Lena Olin (“Chocolate”).
Alfredson said: “‘The Jonsson Gang’ is based on a film series from the 1980’s that practically every living Swedish person has seen. An international audience mostly knows my work with intimidating vampires and sullen spies, while most of my work has been comedic. It’s been a lot of fun to return to something laughable and we look forward to finding a worldwide audience with Studiocanal.”
The film is written by Alfredson, Henrik Dorsin and Rikard Ulvshammar,...

After a great deal of acclaim with Let the Right One In and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, about everything that could go wrong did indeed go wrong with Tomas Alfredson’s next project, the puzzling crime drama misfire The Snowman. The Swedish director is now hopefully bouncing back, taking on a comedy with a reboot of Jönssonligan–itself a remake of the Danish series, which followed a group of criminals as they plan a heist.
Titled Se upp för Jönssonligan (which loosely translates to Watch Out for the Jönsson Gang), the film is based on the series, which launched in the early 1980s and went for eight films, with another reboot coming out just three years ago. Ahead of a Christmas release in Sweden, the first trailer has now landed (albeit without subtitles) for what is the fifteenth entry in the series, and it seems like Alfredson is having a great deal of fun.

After two of the greatest films of the century thus far, Let the Right One In and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, there hasn’t been a fall from grace quite like what Tomas Alfredson experienced with The Snowman. Thankfully, his disappointing (to put it mildly) crime thriller didn’t put him in director jail, rather just provided Film Twitter for endless jokes, courtesy of Universal’s marketing. The director has now found his next project, and no, it won’t be another Jo Nesbø adaptation.
Rather, the Swedish director will be taking on a comedy with a reboot of Jönssonligan–itself a remake of the Danish series–which followed a group of criminals, including an explosions expert with alcoholism, as they plan a heist. The series launched in the early 1980s and went for eight films, with another reboot coming out just three years ago. With Alfredson going back to...
