Reykjavík 112

The crime series Reykjavík 112, based on Yrsa Sigurðardóttir’s bestselling novel, premiered on RÚV this autumn. I play a respected scientist who becomes the target of a killer unhappy with her research.

The series is produced for Pegasus by none other than Snorri Þórisson, who also produced Agnes – the story of Agnes Magnúsdóttir, beheaded in 1830, whom I played opposite Baltasar Kormákur. Snorri admitted to a slightly guilty conscience at being responsible, for the second time, for my execution on film, and promised me that in the next project I would live longer. :)

The trio Reynir Lyngdal, Tinna Hrafnsdóttir and Óskar Þór Axelsson directed an outstanding cast in this ambitious, high-quality production where no expense was spared.

The leading roles were played by Kolbeinn Arnbjörnsson, Vivian Ólafsdóttir, Þorsteinn Bachmann, Anna Gunndís Guðmundsdóttir, Elma Lísa Gunnarsdóttir, Jóhanna Vigdís Arnardóttir, Ebba Katrín Finnsdóttir, Þorsteinn Pálmarsson and María Ellingsen.

The screenplay was by Óttar M. Norðfjörð, Björg Magnúsdóttir and Snorri Þórisson.
