'Ibelin' Panel, Haugesund Credit: Davide Abbatescianni Starring Stephen Graham, Toni Collette, Bill Nighy and Charlie Plummer, “Ibelin,” from “The Imitation Game” director Morten Tyldum, loomed large over a French-Nordic producers’ roundtable held today at New Nordic Films in Haugesund.
The project became a striking case study in how increasingly ambitious European films are being assembled across borders.
Inspired by the life of Norwegian gamer Mats Steen, the drama is structured across Norway, France, the U.K., Belgium and the Czech Republic, tapping into Norwegian soft moneys with incentives, equity and production and post-production work spread across several territories.
