1ST VIAPLAY MOVIE PHOTOS
Earlier this year your trusted spy has informed you that Scandinavian streamer Viaplay is preparing historical movie STOCKHOLM
BLOODBATH and now we have the first stills along with the full cast revealed for Mikael Hafstrom directed epic movie. It will be Viaplay's
second English language film after Lasse Hallstrom's Hilma which is already available on the streamer which recently opened for UK viewers as well.


SET IN 1520 THE FILM
explores a dark chapter in Sweden’s history, which saw the infamous massacre of nearly 100 nobles and civilians in the Swedish capital. The film follows
Anne (Sophie Cookson) and her foster sister Freja (Alba August) as they seek revenge on the men who murdered their family at Anne’s wedding. Their
quest leads them to Stockholm, where they are drawn into a ruthless political struggle between Sweden and Denmark when a group of Swedish aristocrats
conspire to overthrow the Danish king Christian II, known by the Swedes as Christian the Tyrant. When the Danish king learns of the nobles' plans, he
heads to Stockholm to put an end to the rebellion of the Swedish rebels, under the leadership of the regent Sten Sture. The stuggle culminates in a mass
execution of almost 100 Swedes, presided over by King Christian II of Denmark (Claes Bang), known as the Stockholm Bloodbath.





WHO IS TAKING THE BATH?
Beside Sophie Cookson who leads the cast as Anne Eriksson, and Claes Bang portraying King Kristian II, the international cast also includes Emily
Beecham as Kristina Gyllenstierna, Alba August as Freja Eriksson, Adam Pålsson as Sten Sture, Nordic superstar Jakob Oftebro as Gustaf Trolle, Mikkel Boe Følsgaard as Didrick Slagheck, Matias Varela as Kardinal
