After a spring with a dramatic decline in cinema visits compared to the years before the pandemic, there is great excitement about how visits to Norwegian cinemas will be this autumn. A total of 18 Norwegian films will have a cinema premiere this autumn. One of the reasons for the poor spring attendance was the lack of blockbusters. But as early as September 2, the premiere of “Olsenbanden – last cry” will take place. Anders Baasmo, John Carew and Elias Holmen Sørensen play Egon, Benny and Kjell, who will steal “Scream” from the new Munch museum. For Anders Baasmo, it was an honor to take over the role of Egon Olsen in the feature film series. – I have always been interested in the history of the industry, and fellow actors who have gone before us for generations, so it is both honorable and fun to be involved in such a project, he said when it was revealed who would play in the film. Egon Olsen, played by Anders Baasmo, is once again on his way out of prison with new plans to get rich.

But the films have received criticism for retelling well-known heroic tales from the war. This autumn, two films will show aspects of the war that have not been brought to light as much. Ine Marie Wilmann stars in the new war drama “Krigsseileren”. Photo: Stian Servoss / More film On 23 September, the premiere of “Krigsseileren” will take place. Kristoffer Joner, Ine Marie Wilmann and Pål Sverre Hagen play the leading roles. The film is about the fate of the Norwegian war sailors and their families. Wilmann believes this is a story that is unknown to many. – He says something about a story that often goes under the radar, the story about those who are at home. My role is a symbol of all those who fight the war at home, and who take responsibility for maintaining everyday life and building the future, she tells NTB. The film is the most expensive Norwegian film of all time, and will be shown at the Toronto film festival in September. On Christmas Day, there is finally a premiere for “Kampen om Narvik”. The film has been postponed several times. First twice because of the pandemic and a third time because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Director Erik Skjoldbjærg is happy that his film can finally be shown to an audience. – Now it will finally happen. And we make sure that this is a good film that we can vouch for. And that the film has a theme that has not expired, he says to news. Kristine Hartgen plays an important role in the film, which comes out on Christmas Day.

She used her grandmother as inspiration during the filming of the film. – She is 102 years old now, so I hope she gets to see the film. She went through intense experiences during the war when she was young. I actively worked to bring her in and talk to her in my head when I played. It was very valuable, he says. Famous figures at Christmas Children’s and family films are also important for the cinema visit. On 30 September comes the animated film “Helt super” about the 11-year-old gamer Hedvig who suddenly has to take over the role of the town’s superhero. Hennika Eggum Huuse has voted for Hedvig. She thinks this is a film that will hit the children’s audience well. – I think they will find it fun and exciting. And then there are many feelings in this film as well. The gamer Hedvig becomes a superhero in “Helt super”. Photo: Qvisten Animation/Nordisk Film Hedvig’s father, the involuntarily retired superhero Superløven, is played by Tobias Santelmann. He thinks it was fun to be part of a children’s film – It was really fun to do something that is in the target group for my daughter. It’s very pretty. I showed her a bit of the film, and it was very nice. On 21 October comes the animated film “Titina”, which tells the story of Roald Amundsen and Umberto Nobile’s journey to the North Pole in an airship. Told through the eyes of Nobile’s dog Titina, who was also on the trip. Titina was Umberto Nobile’s dog, and was with him when Nobile and Roald Amundsen were to conquer the North Pole by airship.
