As any die-hard thriller lover will tell you, Jo Nesbo is a pretty big deal. Heralded as the next Stieg Larsson years ago, only now are his novels being turned into films, notably 2008's Headhunters, or to use its original name, Hodejegerne.

Released in his homeland of Norway and bought up by 50 different countries, Headhunters is now set to hit British shores, with a release date set for April 6.

Starring Aksel Hennie in the lead role of Roger Brown, the film tells the tale of a successful headhunter / art thief who meets his match when he steals a painting from a former mercenary, Clas Greve (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) - a man he's also seeking to set up as the head of a firm.

Today we've got a poster for you to enjoy, and without any further ado, here it is.

And before you ask, yes, yes indeed, it's already being lined up for a Hollywood remake. In fact, rights were bought by Summit Entertainment before the film had even hit cinemas in Norway. Wonder if the so-hot-right-now Coster-Waldau will get to reprise his role on a break from A Game Of Thrones?

**Headhunters **will be in cinemas April 6.
