Christian Jungersen’s bestselling novel You Disappear is to be adapted for the big screen by director Peter Schønau Fog with Trine Dyrholm, Nikolaj Lie Kaas and Swedish international star Michael Nyqvist in the leading roles.
You Disappear is the first Christian Jungersen book to be adapted for the screen, following its major domestic success in 2012, when it spent more than a year on the bestseller list. The book has since been sold to numerous territories including the US, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Norway.
Shooting is set to star Sept 28 on locations in Mallorca, Denmark and Sweden.
Danish filmmaker Fog (The Art Of Crying, 2007) wrote the screenplay and will direct a cast led by Trine Dyrholm (A Royal Affair), Nikolaj Lie Kaas (The Absent One) and Michael Nyqvist (The Millennium Trilogy).
