Swedish helmer Jens Jonsson, who is currently editing Netflix’s “Young Wallander,” is set to direct the political thriller “Eight Months” (“Åtta månader”), based on acclaimed Swedish author Magnus Montelius’ suspense eponymous novel. Swedish scribe Erik Ahrnbom will be adapting for television.
Published last year by Albert Bonniers Förlag, the book was recently voted best foreign suspense novel by the Danish Crime Academy and tagged by Swedish crime guru Leif G.W. Persson as “literary entertainment at its best.”
Established Swedish production company Anagram has just closed the book deal and received development coin from Swedish broadcaster TV4 and Svod service CMore.
The deal was announced today at Göteborg’s TV Drama Vision confab.
“Eight Months” is a thriller about power and the people who are prepared to do anything to conquer it. Thanks to a tip off, journalist Nina Wedén publishes the scoop of the year, exposing Sweden’s foreign minister as a sex client.
