Refn Bringing BRONSON To The Big Screen!

What the ... it appears that Nicolas Winding Refn’s next film won’t feature vikings after all. We are big, big fans of the Danish director of the Pusher films in these parts - those films are arguably the finest crime trilogy ever produced, and yes I realize what sort of competition there is out there - and have been anxiously anticipating his next Danish language project, the viking themed Valhalla Rising - since it was first announced. But while we’ve all been looking over at that one - which is still proceeding towards production in late 2008 - Refn has apparently been prepping for a little something else.
Titled Bronson the film is a bio-pic about real life British criminal Charles Bronson, who has now spent over thirty two years in prison. It will be Refn’s second English language feature after the critically acclaimed but financially disastrous Fear X and is being backed by Vertigo Films (The UK distribs of Pusher) and Hanover Films, who also have a hand in Jake West’s upcoming Doghouse. More details as we get them.

With the Pusher trilogy, Bleeder, and, to some effect, Fear X has Refn’s hands steady on the pulse with a street level look at crime. I was amped to see what he would do breaking from familiar ground when Valhalla Rising was announced. Taking the Gambler into account maybe this project is tied into funding Valhalla Rising?
Given his track record for exploring criminality I have much faith in Refn that his take on Charlie Bronson/Mick Peterson will rank up there with Andrew Dominik’s Chopper and Assassination of Jesse James… or Boorman’s The General.
