THE SNOWMAN (2017) Movie Trailer: Michael Fassbender Hunts a Serial Killer in Tomas Alfredson’s Film

Michael Fassbender The Snowman

The Snowman Trailer

Tomas Alfredson‘s The Snowman (2017) movie trailer stars Rebecca Ferguson, Michael Fassbender, Val Kilmer, Chloë Sevigny, and J.K. Simmons. The Snowman‘s plot synopsis: based on the book by Jo Nesbø, “When an elite crime squad’s lead detective (Fassbender) investigates the disappearance of a victim on the first snow of winter, he fears an elusive serial killer may be active again. With the help of a brilliant recruit (Ferguson), the cop must connect decades-old cold cases to the brutal new one if he hopes to outwit this unthinkable evil before the next snowfall.”

I am unfamiliar with the book that this film is based on but the twist with the serial killer is clever. So the fact that it coming from a professional novel writer was easy to see. From this trailer, the killer will be the most interesting element in the film. The two police officers seem as though they will be ordinary people, nothing close to quirky police detective Saga Norén from The Bridge / Bron.

If the killer in The Snowman kills people and displays his kills in the way I think he does, based upon the footage in this trailer, the serial killer in this film may be memorable (and not garden variety).

Tomas Alfredson is a fantastic director. He directed one of the best vampire films ever created, Let the Right One In. I am looking forward to seeing what Alfredson has done with The Snowman.

The Snowman also stars Jamie Clayton, Charlotte Gainsbourg, James D’Arcy, Toby Jones, Sofia Helin, Ronan Vibert, Anne Reid, Alec Newman, Jakob Oftebro, and David Dencik.

The Snowman‘s screenplay was written by Peter Straughan, Hossein Amini, and Matthew Michael Carnahan.
