Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Netflix has ordered a new Norwegian SF movie, Blasted.

The movie follows childhood friends Sebastian and Mikkel, who are reunited for Sebastian’s bachelor party. While Mikkel never matured past teenage laser tag-prodigy, Sebastian has grown into a career-obsessed workaholic who’s using the party to schmooze a potential client. But when the bachelor party stumbles head-first into an alien invasion, it’s up to Mikkel and Sebastian to reunite as the kick-ass laser tag duo they once were and fight back.

The film is directed by Martin Sofiedal, from a script by Emanuel Nordrum.

Axel Bøyum and Fredrik Skogsrud star alongside  Mathias Luppichini, André Sørum, Eirik Hallert, Evelyn Rasmussen Osazuwa and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal.

“It is very exciting to be the first Norwegian sci-fi comedy in production,” Are Heidenstrøm, producer and CEO of Miso Film Norwa explained. “Emanuel Nordrum and Martin Sofiedal have created an amazing story where we finally get clarity in the light phenomenon in Hessdalen.”
