Box Office When Warner Bros. moved the release of the as-yet-untitled Man of Steel sequel to May 6, 2016, the same date that Marvel had staked out for Captain America 3, many thought that Marvel President Kevin Feige was being a little too optimistic when he laughed off the idea of moving Cap's third outing to another date. Now, we know that Feige simply had confidence that his Super Soldier could stand up to Superman and friends as Captain America: The Winter Soldier is breaking records left and right. Before the movie even opened, The Winter Soldier broke the advance ticket sales record for the month of April. When it finally debuted this weekend, it thoroughly trounced the competition, taking in $95 million to set a new record for the month of April, besting previous record holder Fast Five's $86.2 million opening. The Winter Soldier opened 46% higher than the original movie, no doubt...

False Trail
Stars: Peter Stormare, Rolf Lassgård, Annika Nordin, Kim Tjernström, Lo Kauppi, Jesper Barkselius | Written by Björn Carlström, Stefan Thunberg | Directed by Kjell Sundvall
We all know by now that Swedish mystery thrillers are popular, we?ve had Headhunters to name a movie, and of course The Killing as an example of the television presence. It seems nowadays all they have to do is advertise the fact that it?s a murder mystery based in Sweden and everyone just loves it. False Trail, also known as Jägarna 2, is another one of these, but also a sequel to Jägarna which I’?ve not seen yet. This does not hold False Trail back from being enjoyable, the important parts of the plot are all included in flashbacks and references in the plot.
False Trail starts in quite the usual way of a detective having to return to his home town...

Swedish director Kjell Sundvall returns to the big screen this December with False Trail (Jägarna 2), the follow-up to his 1996 crime-thriller, The Hunters (Jägarna).
Rolf Lassgård reprises his leading role from the original, alongside the great Peter Stormare, and with the film arriving on our shores next month, we’ve been given an exclusive set of images to share.
“Brought to you by the distributors of The Killing, Borgen and The Bridge, False Trail is the latest Nordic Noir thriller to hit the big screen in the UK. Set in an isolated town in the frozen wastelands of northern Sweden, False Trail is dark, twisted murder investigation that devastates a local community.
It’s been fifteen years since Erik (LASSGÅRD) was forced to leave the Norrland Police Department. Since then he has become the National Murder Commission’s best interrogator. When Erik’s boss orders him back to his home...
