The Kingslayer turns babystealer in the new trailer for Susanne Bier's A Second Chance. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is front and centre in this new Danish melodrama as a policeman who finds himself slipping into an increasingly bleak predicament. There's something about this man and hand injuries that makes you think someone should confiscate his kitchen knives. Click below to take a closer look.
Coster-Waldau plays clean-cut cop Andreas who has a baby with his wife Anne (Maria Bonnevie) and lives a seemingly enviable existence. Then, on a routine call with his more ragged partner Simon (Ulrich Thomsen), he stumbles upon a heroin addict, his girlfriend and their neglected baby. Unable to call upon social services and on an impulse that will have huge repercussions, he takes the baby home.
For Bier, the hope is a return to form after the long-delayed and lukewarmly-received Serena. She's already an Oscar winner, for In A Better World in 2010, and was a prime mover in the Dogme movement. **A Second Chance will reunite her with Brothers cast members Thomsen and Nikolaj Lie Kaas when it **lands in the UK on March 20.
