Baltasar Kormakur Will Direct and Produce Trapped

Baltasar Kormakur to Direct and Produce TrappedBaltasar Kormakur will be following up the action film Everest starring Jason Clarke, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Josh Brolin with the crime series Trapped set up with his RVK Studios. Trapped will shoot this fall in Iceland, with Kormakur directing and producing the series based on his original idea. Klaus Zimmerman and Daniel March from Dynamic Television will executive produce the 10 episode series.
 
“I developed Trapped because I was fascinated with the idea of a terrible crime in a small town cut off from the rest of the world,” said Kormakur. “I am looking forward to putting a new spin on the Scandinavian crime genre for audiences around the world and I’m equally excited to be partnering with Dan and Klaus at Dynamic.”
 
Sigurjon Kjartansson and Clive Bradley wrote the series which “follows the investigation of a grisly murder of an unidentifiable man found in the water shortly after an International ferry arrives in a small town at the bottom of a fjord. Shortly after, a powerful blizzard hits the town with deadly force, making the only road in or out impassable.”


“Our excitement about the originality and brilliance of the material is only surpassed by our thrill to work with Baltasar and a great team of talented creators,” said March. “We are going to be very proud to deliver this series to our clients around the world.”
 
Trapped has all of the ingredients to be a very successful crime drama,” added Zimmermann, “The show will not only transport audiences to a stunning and exotic location, but will follow characters on an emotional journey filled with breathtaking tension.”
