FILM 1973: THE SNOWMAN


FILM 1973: THE SNOWMAN

TRIVIA: Martin Scorsese was originally attached to direct this movie. He remained on board as executive producer.

Tomas Alfredson has said that production was too rushed. He came on board late, and reckons that up to 15% of the screenplay was never filmed. Location filming in Norway was shortened so production could move to London, which compromised the story.

Featured on episode 209 on the podcast "How Did This Get Made?".

The ringtone of Rakel's phone is cover of Edvard Grieg's piece "In the Hall of the Mountain King".

All of Val Kilmer's lines are dubbed throughout the film. According to a Reddit AMA in May 2017, Kilmer disclosed that he had "a healing of cancer," and his tongue "was still swollen although healing all the time."

Jonny Greenwood created a score that was not used.
