We just mentioned the possibility of Mads Mikkelsen joining the third installment of Fantastic Beasts, and now here he is again.
Mikkelsen is set to star in the forthcoming drama Another Round, which is a Danish-Swedish production with English subtitles. The movie revolves around four high school teachers, who are also friends, and decide to stay in a permanent state of drunkenness.
According to the new trailer, they aim to keep their blood alcohol level at 0.05%. The plan isn't to get sloshed, but be slightly intoxicated and still able to function, and more specifically... teach their students.
To make things even more interesting, they only drink during work hours, never after 8pm or on the weekends.
They even track their results, treating this like a sociological study:
We hear Mikkelsen say in the above, "I haven't felt this good in ages. I think there's more to this." He suggests upping the intake, addressing his fellow teachers, "Let's change gears."
Let's just say, things take a turn when they start turning the bottle upside down.
In addition to Mikkelsen (Doctor Strange), you can also look for Thomas Bo Larsen (The Lawyer), Lars Ranthe (A Funny Man) and Magnus Millang (Danish Dynamite).
Another Round is co-written by Tobias Lindholm and Thomas Vinterberg, with Vinterberg directing. This is a reunion for Lindholm, Vinterberg, Mikkelsen, Bo Larsen and Ranthe, who all collaborated on 2012's The Hunt.
Another Round is set to premiere on December 18.
What do you think this of this concept: tempting or dangerous?
