EXCLUSIVE: The Gotham Group has signed Icelandic film director Thordur Palsson whose feature debut, the horror film The Damned, premiered at this year’s Tribeca Festival and will be released domestically by Vertical this fall.
Palsson was the creator and lead director of The Valhalla Murders, which premiered on Netflix in 2020 as the platform’s first Icelandic original. “We have been admirers of Thordur’s work since the chilling series The Valhalla Murders and with his debut feature it’s become even clearer that he is one of the most exciting genre filmmakers working today,” said Justin Littman, Gotham Group Partner and Head of International.
The Damned follows Eva, a 19th-century widow who is tasked with making an impossible choice when, in the middle of an especially cruel winter, a ship sinks off the coast of her isolated fishing outpost.
