Dunja Vujovic serves as the screenwriter. The three previously collaborated on <em>Top Dog<\/em>, based on the Jens Lapidus trilogy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Vinterviken 2021<\/em> will release globally on Netflix and will be co-produced by Sveriges Television.<\/p>\n<p>Alld\u00e9n said: \u201cMats Wahl&#8217;s novel portrays a\u00a0timeless theme: Love beyond social status and class. The new film adaptation must reflect the development of society. <em>Vinterviken 2021<\/em> should thus be a modern story about experiencing true love in a world full of prejudice and economic inequality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Almstr\u00f6m added: \u201cI will never forget when I watched <em>Vinterviken<\/em> as a teenager in the &#8217;90s. A lot has happened since then, not only in a good way. A feeling of hopelessness is getting prevalent amongst young people, regardless of background. Therefore, I\u2019m excited to share this hopeful story about young lovers breaking class barriers to the global Netflix audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lina Brouneus, director of co-production and acquisition at Netflix, said: \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be able to bring a contemporary version of this modern Swedish classic to a global audience and we believe that the universal themes of love, class differences and segregation will resonate with our audiences all over the world. We can\u2019t wait to see how Alexis Almstr\u00f6m and the rest of the incredible team at Filmlance International will reflect the times that we live in and make this story come to life again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix is prepping a modern adaptation of Mats Wahl&#8217;s acclaimed novel Vinterviken, with The Bridge producer Filmlance International on board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":13063,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[2903,88],"class_list":["post-13062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-filmlance-international","tag-netflix","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
