The legend of the Kraken comes to the screen in the upcoming Norwegian monster movie Kraken, and THR shares early sales art (up above) and the first information this week.
Pål Øie (The Tunnel) will direct Kraken, which is planning a 2025 theatrical release.
The Hollywood Reporter details, “There’s no word on casting, but the thriller will follow Johanne, a marine biologist who encounters several strange occurrences while researching a fjord, including the brutal deaths of two local teenagers.”
“At the bottom of Norway’s deepest fjord rests a mythical monster as large as a mountain, with a myriad of arms ready to crush and devour anything they can grab.”
THR notes, “In Norway and Iceland, legend has it that the Kraken, a giant sea monster similar to a squid or octopus, is lurking in local seas, only to occasionally rise and go on a rampage.”
