COLOGNE, Germany – Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau will headline A Second Chance, the new Danish-language drama from Oscar winner Susanne Bier (In a Better World).

A Second Chance will be Coster-Waldau’s first starring role in a Danish film in more than a decade, since Jannik Johansen‘s Stealing Rembrandt (2003) which, coincidentally, was also co-written by Jensen.
The actor, best known for playing Jaime Lannister in Game of Thrones on HBO, has also appeared in Tom Cruise starrer Oblivion and in the Norwegian thriller Headhunters (2011). His next feature is the period epic Gods of Egypt from Summit. Coster-Waldau is repped by WME. Bier is with CAA.
TrustNordisk will announce the remainder of the cast in the coming weeks.
