Game of Thrones’ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau cast in The Silencing

May 13, 2018 by Gary Collinson

In news coming out of Cannes, Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has signed on to star in The Silencing, a thriller from director Anders Engstom (Taboo) and based upon Micah Ranum’s Nicholl Fellowship-winning script.

Deadline reports that the film will see Coster-Waldau as “a reformed hunter who becomes involved in a deadly game of cat and mouse when he sets out to track a vicious killer who may have kidnapped his daughter years ago.”

“The Silencing is a visceral thriller filled with complex characters, each with a dark past beridden with guilt,” said producer Cybill Lui of Anova Pictures. “I’m delighted to have XYZ Films present this at Cannes, and thrilled to work with the uber-talented Anders in making his English-language feature debut. From his work on Taboo to the Finnish franchise Vares, Anders consistently delivers striking visuals combined with intense performances. I’m sure his vision for Nikolaj’s hunt for the killer will keep us on the edge of our seats.”

Coster-Waldau was most recently seen on the big screen in the prison thriller Shot Caller, and reprises his role as Jaime Lannister for next year’s eighth and final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones.
