Bottoms up! Comedian and filmmaker Chris Rock is getting behind the camera for a remake of Thomas Vinterberg’s Oscar-winning film Another Round. Appian Way and Makeready are producing for Fifth Season. Meanwhile, Jennifer Davisson and Leonardo DiCaprio produce through Appian Way, with Brad Weston and Collin Creighton producing for Makeready. The project has a script written by Stuart Bloomberg, but the draft will get a rewrite from Rock and a co-writer.
Released in 2020, Vinterberg’s Another Round stars Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Magnus Millang, and Lars Ranthe as four high-school teachers who consume alcohol daily to see how it affects their social and professional lives.
Emerging from the shadow of the Oscar slap heard around the world, Rock’s next project is King: A Life, a cinematic biopic centering on the life and times of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Universal optioned the rights to adapt Jonathan Eig...

Sf Studios has boarded “Maybe Baby,” a high-concept Danish comedy about pregnancy and fertility treatments which is directed by Barbara Topsøe-Rothenborg (“Loving Adults”).
The movie starts shooting this month with Danish actors Mille Dinesen, Katinka Lærke Petersen, Lars Ranthe and Kasper Dalsgaard. Sf Studios is producing with Marcella Dichmann and will handle Nordic distribution.
.
“Maybe Baby” follows two couples, Cecilie and Andreas and Liv and Malte, who are both in fertility treatment and discover that the clinic has swapped the fertilized eggs, setting off an avalanche of absurd conflicts. The cast is completed by Sara Boberg, Neel Rønholt, Solbjørg Højfeldt, Laura Bro and Thomas Bo Larsen.
“Fertility treatment is still enormously taboo. As many as 20 of Danes have difficulty getting pregnant, and every ninth child is born through fertility treatment,” said Topsøe-Rothenborg, who recently directed “Loving Adults,” the upcoming Netflix feature film, and “Food Club.”

Fresh off its Oscar win for best international feature film, “Another Round” is getting the Hollywood treatment. The Danish dramedy about four friends who engage in an epic drinking binge will be remade in English.
Leonardo DiCaprio is being eyed to star in the film in the role originated by Mads Mikkelsen, but there’s no formal deal in place. DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way acquired rights following a bidding war that reportedly involved Jake Gyllenhaal’s production company Nine Stories, as well as Elizabeth Banks.
Thomas Vinterberg, who landed a surprise Oscar nomination for directing the Danish film, will executive produce the remake, along with Sisse Graum Jørgensen and Kasper Dissing. Vinterberg also co-wrote “Another Round” with Tobias Lindholm. However, he won’t be directing or writing the upcoming version.
Endeavor Content and Makeready are financing the English-language movie.

If you’ve heard about Another Round, the Oscar-nominated Danish film starring Mads Mikkelsen, you probably know about the Dance. It happens at the end of writer-director Thomas Vinterberg’s tragicomedy about four middle-aged high school teachers who attempt an experiment in magical drinking; entire features and paeans have already been written about it. Sitting on a park bench as his students whoop and holler near a pier, Mikkelsen’s history professor tentatively starts doing a two-step. Then he bursts into the sort of musical dance routine — leaping, twirling, sliding...

"Sings and sparkles!" Samuel Goldwyn Films has released a second official US trailer for the award-winning film Another Round, which now has two Oscar nominations for Best Director + Best International Film. It was originally selected for Cannes, but eventually premiered at the Toronto Film Festival this fall, and was one of my Top 10 of 2020. The film follows four teachers who embark on an experiment where they each sustain a certain level of alcohol intoxication during their everyday life, believing that all people in general would benefit from a bit higher Blood Alcohol Content. Of course, things start to get out of hand... Starring Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Lars Ranthe, Magnus Millang, and Maria Bonnevie. This new trailer is pretty much a "look at all the awards we've received and these two Oscar nominations!" Which is all good by me if they want to show off, because this is a...

“From the beginning it was merely a film about alcohol — actually, it was a pure celebration of alcohol,” explains “Another Round” co-writer and director Thomas Vinterberg about telling the story of four friends who test whether liquor will lift them out of their emotional doldrums. “But digging deeper into it, we realized there was more to it. We got more ambitious, and this project grew and developed into becoming a movie about life and being inspired … The word spirit means more than just alcohol.” Watch our exclusive video interview with Vinterberg above.
Mads Mikkelsen stars as Martin, who along with his longtime friends and fellow teachers Tommy (Thomas Bo Larsen), Peter (Lars Ranthe) and Nikolaj (Magnus Millang) embarks on this experiment in day-drinking, and for a while the results are promising. But it’s not necessarily just their blood-alcohol levels that make them better teachers, husbands and parents. “I think...

The beguiling, intoxicating and sometimes dangerous nature of friendship and alcohol are the twin engines that drive Thomas Vinterberg's latest film, which does an admirable job of balancing the positive and negative aspects of both.
Martin (Mads Mikkelsen), Tommy (Thomas Bo Larsen), Nikolaj (Magnus Millang) and Peter (Lars Ranthe) are teachers at the same senior school who are all flirting with midlife crisis. History teacher Martin seems to have lost his mojo in the classroom and at home, where his encounters with his night-shift working wife Anika (Marie Bonnevie) are more practical than emotional. His colleaguesTommy and Peter are on the other side of failed marriages, while Nikolaj has just hit 40 and is trying to cope with the pressures his young family are applying to his relationship with Amalie (Helene Reingaard Neumann).
Just the right cocktail of ennui with life, then, to be up for the experiment when one.

Alcohol is an integral part of many cultures around the world, but as explored in Thomas Vinterberg’s latest feature Another Round—which has been selected as the Danish Oscar submission—Denmark has a particularly bad drinking problem. In the opening scene, a group of rowdy teenagers take part in a ‘Lake Race’ a common real-life tradition that Vinterberg saw both of his two daughters partake in during high school. The teens challenge each other to race around a lake in groups while downing a case of beer. If one of them vomits, time is added to their score; if they all vomit in unison, time is deducted. But surely the adults are better behaved?
High school teachers Martin (Mads Mikkelsen), Tommy (Thomas Bo Larsen), Nikolaj (Magnus Millang), and Peter (Lars Ranthe) appear to be more mature than their students, but their midlife crises prompt them to embark on a rather juvenile ‘social experiment.

76 Days
76 Days, from directors Hao Wu, Weixi Chen, and an anonymous filmmaker,is a heartbreaking work of documentary vérité investigating the emerging Covid-19 outbreak at a single hospital in Wuhan, China, and their response from early February to April 2020, when Wuhan lifted their initial lockdown. Eschewing contextualizing features, 76 Days places viewers alongside doctors and nurses as they struggle to control the spiraling implications of Covid-19, dealing with an influx of scared patients, a virus they do not fully understand, and diminishing resources. Though 76 Days proves a hard watch, it’s a profoundly visceral look into how one hospital dealt with the raging virus. – Christian G.

At the center of Thomas Vinterberg’s new film Another Round lies one of the eternal questions—does alcohol help open up the mind to stimulate or even liberate the imagination in helpful ways that might not have occurred otherwise, or is it, at the end of the day, a harmful depressant and mind-decayer, as well as a door-opener to abuse and violence? The Danish writer-director puts the topic on the table in disarming fashion but, in the end, literally dances away from it to reaffirm the status quo without significantly illuminating the issue as seemingly promised at the outset. This Samuel Goldwyn release had been selected for the 2020 Cannes Film Festival competition but ended up making its world premiere—remotely—at the Toronto Film Festival in September, just prior to its release in Denmark. The country has selected it as its submission in the International Feature Oscar race.

If the latest rumors about Mads Mikkelsen’s future casting decisions have you reaching for an alcoholic beverage, his upcoming Another Round may be more to your taste. Quite literally: Mikkelsen here plays a high school teacher who tests a theory with three colleagues that their life will improve if they main a constant blood alcohol level. Delightful chaos, at least a few bad decisions, and a nasty hangover are inevitable as these friends attempt to escape from their midlife crises by raising spirits.
The latest from Thomas Vinterberg—whose recent work has endearingly ricocheted between lush period romances (Far From the Madding Crowd) and submarine dramas (The Command)—seems to have far more on its mind than simply offering an opportunity to watch Mikkelsen dance while sloshed based on today’s new trailer.

It was originally selected for Cannes, but eventually premiered at the Toronto Film Festival this fall. It's easily one of my favorite films of the year!

Danish filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg’s Another Round is continuing its trajectory as one to watch this season. The Mads Mikkelsen-starrer has been shortlisted by Denmark’s Oscar Committee as one of three pictures that will vie to be the country’s entry for the International Feature Film Academy Award. The other two films are Rotterdam prizewinner A Perfectly Normal Family by Malou Reymann and Venice Critics’ Week title Shorta from Anders Ølholm and Frederik Louis Hviid.

What if maintaining a constant amount of alcohol in your blood could open your mind, boost creativity, and generally improve your life? That’s the premise of Thomas Vinterberg’s new movie, which he presented Monday at the Lumière Film Festival in Lyon.
“Another Round” (“Druk”) is one of 23 films originally selected for Cannes that are being screened at Lumière, whose director is also Cannes chief Thierry Frémaux. The film picked up best actor in San Sebastian for its four leads, including Mads Mikkelsen, whose last film with Vinterberg also won him best actor, this time in Cannes.
“Another Round” tells the story of four middle-aged friends who have lost their appetite for life and decide to experiment living with a constant level of alcohol in their blood.
“It’s not just a film about drinking. Our ambition was to make a film about living,” said Vinterberg, adding how the...

With a mix of in-person, drive-in, and digital screenings, most of the fall film festivals soldiered on during the pandemic, reimagining what a normal year may look like. While Venice International Film Festival kept things most status quo with physical screenings only, Toronto International Film Festival and the ongoing New York Film Festival switched up their formula and today we’re taking a look at our favorite premieres in this strange, historic year.
Unlike the other two festivals, NYFF heavily features festival favorites from throughout the year we’ve already reviewed, plus look for more coverage in the two weeks remaining in the festival here as NYC drive-in and nationwide virtual screenings continue.

Georgian-French drama Beginning (Dasatskisi) was the big winner at the San Sebastian Film Festival, winning the top prize Golden Shell at last night’s awards ceremony.
The buzzed-about arthouse film from first-timer Dea Kulumbegashvili also won Best Director, Best Actress and Best Screenplay awards. We debuted first footage for the film earlier this month.
Kulumbegashvili wrote the script with Rati Oneli. Starring are Ia sukhitashvili (best actress winner), Rati Oneli and Kakha Kintsurashvili. Producers are Ilan Amouyal, Rati Oneli and David Zerat. Music comes from Dheepan and Ema composer Nicolas Jaar. Wild Bunch handles sales.
The film charts the story of a persecuted family of Jehovah’s Witness missionaries from the perspective of a wife and mother. Following a shocking act of arson on the place of worship she and her husband have established in a remote village outside of Tbilisi, Yana (Sukhitashvili) finds herself descending into a spiral of confusion and doubt,...

13 films were in the running for prizes in this year’s San Sebastian Film Festival competition, but it doesn’t appear to have been much of a contest at all. In a stunning sweep, Georgian writer-director Dea Kulumbegashvili’s debut feature “Beginning” took four of the jury’s seven prizes, including Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actress for star Ia Sukhitashvili, and finally the Golden Shell for Best Film.
It’s a remarkable haul for a harrowing, avant-garde film that has taken critics by surprise this fall festival season, also landing the Fipresci critics’ prize in Toronto last week. The Franco-Georgian production centers on a close-knit community of Jehovah’s Witnesses in remote rural Georgia, and tracks the growing psychological torment of its leader’s wife (played by Sukhitashvili) in the wake of an extremist attack on their place of worship.

StudioCanal has debuted a new trailer for the Danish drama from Thomas Vinterberg ‘Another Round’ starring Mads Mikkelsen.
There is an obscure philosophical theory that humans should have been born with a small amount of alcohol in our blood; that modest inebriation opens our minds to the world around us, diminishing problems and increasing creativity.
Intrigued, Martin (Mads Mikkelsen) and three of his friends, all weary high school teachers, embark on a risky experiment to maintain a constant level of intoxication throughout the workday.
Initial results are positive, but as the units are knocked back and stakes are raised, it becomes increasingly clear that some bold acts carry severe consequences.
Directed by Danish auteur Thomas Vinterberg, the film stars Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Lars Ranthe and Magnus Millang.

That esteemed contemporary sage Homer Simpson once observed that alcohol was “the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.” The idea behind that joke permeates “Another Round” (“Druk”), the latest from director Thomas Vinterberg (“Far From the Madding Crowd”), a film that centers on drinking to excess but winds up being more about mid-life crises and less a jeremiad about the evils of demon rum.
Working from an incisive and insightful screenplay he wrote with Tobias Lindholm, Vinterberg crafts another drama that presents the best and worst of human nature as paths to be explored. His characters don’t necessarily choose the right one, and sometimes we’re left to wonder which selection they’ve made, but Vinterberg — in marked contrast to his fellow Dogme 95 filmmaker Lars von Trier — at least concedes that redemption might exist.

If you find yourself needing to latch onto an obscure scientific theory to reinvigorate your energy level and live your life as more than a sleepwalking zombie, you’re probably not ready to actually confront the real problem. We know this to be true of the quartet at the center of Thomas Vinterberg’s effective, cathartic drama Druk (known in English as Another Round), since our first impression of Tommy (Thomas Bo Larsen), Peter (Lars Ranthe), Nikolaj (Magnus Millang), and especially Martin (Mads Mikkelsen) is that they have lost their spark. Sexually, intellectually, physically, emotionally—whatever spark you can describe in words, they’ve lost it. Call it a mid-life crisis if you want. Call it evidence for needing a therapist like it is. Or, as they decide, retrieve that long-lost courage at the bottom of a bottle.

Spain’s San Sebastian Festival, the highest-profile movie event in the Spanish-speaking world, has delivered on director José Luis Rebordinos’ promise of considering Cannes Official Selection titles for selection, slating five Cannes label titles in its own main competition, the Festival announced Friday.
These include two of the biggest sales attractions at last week’s Cannes Marché du Film Online: François Ozon’s “Summer of 85” and Thomas Vinterberg’s “Another Round.” They also take in two other titles included in what Cannes head Thierry Fremaux called The Faithful in his lineup of film which would have screwed at Cannes, had the festival taken place: Naomi Kawase’s “True Mothers” and Sharunas Bartas “In the Dusk.”
Also making San Sebastian’s competition cut are “Beginning,” a Cannes Official Selection first feature from Georgia’s Dea Kulumbegashvili, plus “Any Cry Babies Around?” from Japan’s Takuma Sato.

While the Cannes Film Festival won’t be happening as planned this year, the French movie celebration earlier this week did reveal the official selection of titles that would’ve led the event this year. Among them is the latest film from Danish filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg, known in the English language as “Another Round.” Starring Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Lars Ranthe, and Magnus Millang, the comedy is co-written by Vinterberg and “A Hijacking” writer/director Tobias Lindholm. Watch the first trailer below.
The film centers on four close friends, all of whom are high school teachers, who decide to test the idea that their lives would be improved by constantly maintaining a level of low-grade drunkenness. Based on the first trailer, it appears the experiment spirals out of control as the gang pushes one another to further and further extremes.
“Another Round” is Vinterberg’s first film since 2018’s submarine disaster movie “The Command.

"We only drink during work hours." "Like Hemingway." Screen Daily has unveiled an official promo trailer for the film Another Round, also known as Druk, the latest feature from acclaimed Danish filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg. The film was announced as a Cannes 2020 selection yesterday, meaning it would've premiered at the film festival last month, but will instead play at other fests before release. Four teachers embark on an experiment where they each sustain a certain level of alcohol intoxication during their everyday life, believing that all people in general would benefit from a bit higher Blood Alcohol Content. But, of course, they eventually take things too far. Starring Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Lars Ranthe, Magnus Millang, and Maria Bonnevie. This looks fantastic! Not just a film about alcohol, but about society and our place in it. Can't wait to see this film. Here's the first promo trailer for Thomas Vinterberg's...

After delivering one of the best performances of his career with The Hunt, Mads Mikkelsen has reteamed with director Thomas Vinterberg for a new drama titled Another Round (aka Druk). Also starring a few other actors from The Hunt, Lars Ranthe and Thomas Bo Larsen, along with Magnus Millang, the film follows a group of friends who launch a drinking experiment to test their creativity and mindset.
Yesterday, the film was announced as part of the Cannes Film Festival 2020 lineup and now the first trailer has landed. Set for a release in Denmark on September 24, we could still see this show up at some fall fests, including Telluride and Tiff. Judging from this first trailer, what starts as a compelling experiment for the mind soon devolves into something a bit more unpleasant for our characters.
