The Killing isn’t dead yet. A month after AMC pulled the plug on the whodunit, two potential suitors with experience bringing axed TV series back to life — Netflix and DirecTV — are in early talks with Fox TV Studios to pick up a third season of the show, multiple sources confirm to TVLine exclusively. 

A rep for Netflix declined to comment, while a DirecTV spokesperson said, “We are constantly having conversations about bringing new shows to Audience Network, and we do take a look at everything that is available, but we haven’t made any decisions this summer in regards to new programming.” 
This past spring, Netflix — which is behind the second coming of Arrested Development — flirted with acquiring ill-fated dramas The River and Terra Nova. DirecTV, meanwhile, rescued critical darlings Friday Night Lights and Damages from certain death.

In an interview one month before The Killing‘s cancellation, leading man Joel Kinnaman told TVLine that he believed that there was life in the show beyond the Rosie Larsen mystery that dominated the first two seasons. “We’ve invested a lot in these characters and want to see how they continue their journey,” he said. “I feel like Linden and Holder [are] just [getting] started.”

Review by Alexander Dunerfors


“Easy Money II” pull down the criminal trio further down in the muck than ever before. As an audience, just thank and receive. Nye director glosses over its predecessor’s any mistakes, raise the bar for what was already good, and gives Stockholm Noir Trilogy a fierce and well-nigh perfect mittenakt.

Original trio is back. Do not hold your thumbs if you hoped to see new characters from Jens Lapidus’ Easy Money ‘sequel’ Never fucka up. “ The books are mostly as loose inspiration when the film series will now have its own life, where we still hang with wannabe Brat JW, drug trafficker Jorge and the Serbian torpedo Mrado.

Some springs have passed since the last time. JW has a business proposal that will make him rich, Jorge smuggled in white powder that will make him even richer. Mrado while nice time in prison with the chess game of waiting to see his daughter. They have matured and grown into the roles, printed away much of their sympathetic sides, but also shines through in a few powerful scenes. They have been colored by their environment and past experience. Tuffat thereto.
It brightens the horizon, but in this world are no happy endings. Soon they are all involved in the nasty business that once again force them to dirty shirt.

The mood remains dark, bleak and hopeless to the last frame. ”Easy Money II” is not an uplifting film, it pulled us further into the abyss along with these characters, where we are up close to experience the violence and desperation.Where drugs and guns are commonplace, cash is king and all can be bought or pushed almost without warning. There, relationships, friendship and loyalty all too easily be sacrificed for some lättförtjänade dollars. There, a successful business can fulfill the dream of a new life, while the way there transforms otherwise reasonably decent mobsters into monsters.

Unexpectedly, profound it becomes. As expected, the director of ”Sebbe” is the drama that is in focus. Gangsters have feelings, they, and not just expect pangpang nonstop has a strong emotional experience to look forward to. It makes the actors - especially Joel Kinnaman, Matias Varela and Madeleine Martin (as a Russian whore on the run with Jorge) - a superb job of making us feel for them and with them. The characters brighter and Babak Najafi person directing may be sharp role interpretations of the vast majority.

This is an environment that felt a bit svåraccepterad last time, even klyschig for oinsatt, and also this time I hear the words “I’ll fuck your mother’s neighbor’s goat” one time too many. Are people talking like that? In addition to the kids on the subway late one Saturday night, I mean? I could also be done just fine without Fares Fares story. He has advanced from a supporting role to become the fourth leading part, but also had a story that rarely make - and so no further Mahmoud nice guy either. JW and Jorge have at least their motives, if you’ve seen ”Easy Money” (and it should of course be done before this).
Just an aside in this context.

On the whole, this depiction of Stockholm backs almost perfection. It has learned from its mistakes in “Easy Money”, raised the intensity and turned up what was already good, and created a sequel that is so rare that better than number one. Just wait until Martin Scorsese sees this.

Jens Jonsson takes on the third and final film, providing a streamlined cast one last chance for revenge in the community. He has big shoes to fill. But also every chance to tie together this brutal sack with a badass-final in the world. Feel no pressure …

Interview with Joel Kinnaman from The Ladies World

http://damernasvarld.se/art/247851/nrgngen_intervju_med_joel_kinn/

Fashion, he has sights set on Hollywood’s elite. And he is well on his way. Following the success of the TV series The Killing plays Joel Kinnaman are now starring in the sci-fi roller Robocop.

DV had an intimate interview with one of Sweden’s hottest actors.  Here he talks about life in America, the future and reveals some details about his love life

Joel Kinnaman is certainly Sweden’s hottest actor. But his career almost came to an end even before it had begun. He just collapsed. Weak and wounded. Just as he would be the operator who took the stage. When he would prove himself before the eyes that were set to rate him.

- I went to Stage School in Malmö and I had a blackout. I would do a scene in four minutes and everything was gone. I did not get a word out of me. It was among the most shit I have ever experienced.

It was not the first time. But the first time before a judging audience had that job to decide his future. Whether he was good or not. It had previously happened in private.

- Like when I would tell funny stories to friends. Suddenly I lost confidence and fell to the abysmal level that I did not get a word out of me. I mean, in the midst of a funny story it occurred to. It was incredibly uncomfortable.

When it happened on the Stage School in Malmö, he drew a painful conclusion.

- I can not continue with acting. It felt so, I was ready to give it up.

Fully understandable. A man who becomes paralyzed like a rabbit caught in the headlights of speeding traffic and loses the power of speech when it’s his job to act in a scene might want to throw his career in the bin.

- But I knew: there was nothing more important in my life than acting. I had already fought so incredibly hard for it and entered the Stage School on the fourth attempt. So instead of being put down and become, say, the guy at the deli counter at Ica exposing himself to cognitive shock therapy, confronting their own fears in 180.

- I chose to use a monologue that was an hour and a half long. A piece that is actually written for two people and includes 16 roles: Howie the Rookie. I made it a dozen times, and on Stage School, and at the Gothenburg City Theatre. It was make it or break it.

He managed it. With a vengeance.

- I learned the whole text in three weeks and when I performed the work, I stumbled not in words only once. I challenged the fear of the absolute worst thing I could think of - won. Since then it has never come back.

He won the war against himself. The victory is an endorsement of his life.

- In 2009 I got my first job, to make Raskolnikov in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment in Backa Theatre in Gothenburg, an incredible challenge for a newly qualified actor to be on stage continuously for three hours and forty minutes, I felt not as a big challenge. An extreme travel, yes, but I had already done the monologue. I had already done the scariest and confronted my deepest fears.

Both the set as a whole and Joel Kinna’s portrayal of itself was awarded. In that way it is. Success on success. As a JW in fast cash, as Frank Wagner in six Johan Falk movies, as Stephen Holder of the TV series The Killing.

And there’s more. Career cannon is loaded with lead in a reinterpretation of the classic Robocop (recording starts 10 September) and in fast cash II (premieres August 17).

- Jens Lapidus has been very generous with allowing films to be its own universe. His second book, Never fucka up, is in fact an independent continuation of the first book where JW is not even included. Fast cash II does straight off a sequel to the first film and takes up the thread where it left off, says Joel Kinnaman.

It would be easy to lose their footing. But Joel is stable. Not because of the applause and cheering. Such things may quickly die out. A flop can be enough. But precisely because of how he has overcome his fears.

- I have done so on several critical occasions when I hit the self-confidence loss, solved it by challenging myself even harder. I’ve built my confidence through practical work that I can be proud of, that I can go back to and draw strength from.

So when he gets lots of praise, he may feel: I’m worth it!

- Yes, actually. And I can feel it for real. I put so much effort into what I do.

Joel Kinnaman is obviously a well man. Each question is answered in detail on a selected Stockholmian. Yes, more than Stockholmian, he’s from the South and it is heard.

- I grew up in Sofia. On the right side of the ditch.

At the national Swedish: I grew up east of Götgatan in Sofia church in Södermalm.

The detailed and thoughtful answers is really not just about himself and his career. When I ask if he could see Sweden clearer in light of that he now spends his time in the U.S. I am told a number that might have been held by an animated Olof Palme.

- I’ll pay half as much in taxes over there compared to when I work at home. I mess with my American friends about it and says: Taxes in the United States must be raised. So they say: Yes, but the sideboard 25 percent of your income to charity then. But it works not so, they must be forced to do so. It stings. I would be pissed as hell when I paid, but I know what I get back: a better society.

It’s called security and social welfare. Solidarity.

- It really is the best thing about Sweden. People have not the feeling for each other over there. I mean, there are people in the U.S. who come from poor backgrounds and have become rich, yes, but there are exceptional people. When others fail to allow it: Pull up! But that does not change a society of isolated individuals succeed. A society can only be changed through reforms at the macro level. It’s that simple. Social Classes in the U.S. is cemented, there is very little movement between them. It’s so gloomy. Just take a thing like that schools are financed through property taxes. In poor areas there are no real estate to take off …

Here at home he wants to see the Reinfeldt government to fall and be happy already yesterday.

- I am a Social Democrat. But I like the Left Party, Jonas Sjöstedt, too. Unlike Lars Ohly. It took him four years to say: I am not a communist. Troubled stupid. He just wanted to flirt with some elements in his party. Then you are more interested in a position of power than to change society. There, I lost all respect for him.

It is required that you talk about the private for Joel Kinnaman to be reticent. While he seems to like to talk about it. There’s something about the smile. At the beginning of the interview he said: “I live nowhere in the U.S..” I’m not really up there and take up the thread again.

- But you must live somewhere?

- I live with a close friend in LA.

- A woman?
There came the smile.

Crave Online Interview with Joel Kinnaman

By Fred Topel July 17, 2012
 
Coming up with the Swedish film’s American title, what’s in store for Snabba Cash 2 and why he never thought he’d get a film like Robocop.

That's Not Weird: Joel Kinnaman on Easy Money and Robocop


You know Joel Kinnaman from TV’s “The Killing” and the future Robocop. His popularity has gotten one of his Swedish films released in the states. Easy Money (Snabba Cash) stars Kinnaman as J.W., part of a gang of thieves who get into violent trouble with their crime, and feel the dramatic pain in their personal relationships. Kinnaman was a delight to speak with by phone, and was even good-natured about our Robocop prying.

 CraveOnline: You had a movie called Snabba Cash and they changed it to Easy Money.
Joel Kinnaman: They did.

What do you think of the new title?
Actually, when they were talking about the English title, I was like, “So what are we going to call it, like Easy Money?” And that’s what it ended up being.

 So it’s your idea!
Snabba Cash means fast cash, and Easy Money is sort of the translation of that.

 For what it’s worth, I think Snabba Cash makes sense in any language.
That sounds good, man. We should’ve done that.

Is it gratifying to you that American audiences will get to hear you perform in your native language?
Yeah, I guess it is. What I like a lot about it being shown here is that [it’s] something that is very different. The American audiences that have seen me I think have mostly seen “The Killing” and this is a completely different character that has a completely different body language, so I enjoy that. But then I’m very happy that this movie is something I’m very proud of. It means much more to me than just what it did for my career. It’s a work that we were like a group of friends that did this movie, and then some of the people that were working on this movie are still my best friends. Then it has done great things for a lot of us who were in it, in our careers over here and so forth. But the joy that we had while doing it and the creative happiness that we were feeling while we were working on it is something that I’m always going to remember and always hold very dearly. So I’m very happy to see that it gets some more wings.

 Talk about the scene where you meet Sophie’s parents.
I love that scene. That was one of the very fun things, one of the more inspiring things about playing this character was that he’s always carrying a secret. In every situation he’s carrying so many secrets and he’s holding back, he’s playing games. At the same time, in his nature, he’s made himself into a chameleon but the very interesting, complex type of person that has very strong confidence but very low self esteem. It really comes out in that scene where in many ways he is very capable, but at the same time he makes one of his few mistakes when he mixes up his stories. She actually catches him with that. That was a very fun scene to play.

 When you’re playing a criminal, do you have to not judge him or would that even take away some of the complexity if you don’t?
No, no, I don’t want to judge him. I think that’s up for other people to. I want to give a sense of logic. It’s frustrating with characters that you really love and then they make these horrible mistakes, but that’s also why you love playing them. That’s something with J.W. He is a person that has a heart at the beginning but he’s made so many bad choices with himself and he’s made those bad choices out of the wounds that he’s received throughout life. But I don’t try to judge.

 Is there already a Snabba Cash 2?
Yeah, we finished it. We’re opening that in Sweden in August, August 12.

What’s in store for J.W. next?
Well, it pretty much picks up a year after the first movie ended. He’s in jail. We’re really happy about it. I think it’s a very worthy sequel.

 Is it a prison movie or does more stuff happen to J.W.?
No, it travels.

Has J.W. learned anything from his first experience?
No. No, not really. I mean, he has but I think he comes closer to becoming a whole person, even though that whole person might not be a great person. But I think that is his big dilemma. He’s such a capable person, of changing himself and fitting in, he’s like a blank piece of paper. I think we all become in the meeting with other people, but J.W. sort of creates himself in the meeting with every other person. That’s the beginning of his downfall because he just doesn’t have a sense of self. In the second movie the choices that have put him in jail are actually sort of making him more of a whole person but that does not say it is a good person.

 Of course we’re excited you’re going to be the new Robocop, and now we’ve seen hints of the new ED-209. Will your costume fit that new design?
[Laughs] I’m not allowed to talk about that.

 Not specifics, but we now have a sense of what something from that new universe can look like.
Yeah, I think we did get a sense from that video of the shape and the tone. You can get a feeling of how it’s going to look from that video.

Have you seen any practical models or is it all CGI?
No, no, no, I’m regularly going back into the special effects studio and trying on the suit. They’re making adjustments.

 But is there an ED-209 model?
I’ve seen a little more detail, an enhanced version than was on that viral clip.

Will your Robocop be rated R?
We’ll see.

Does that seem like the intention?
That’s not up to me. I don’t have any opinions about it.

I think we’re both great fans of the character. Could your Murphy pursue his family harder?
Mmm, perhaps.

I see I’m getting too specific. I didn’t mean to do that. I just wanted to share the excitement. Is it weird that when I see you I imagine your chin sticking out of the visor?
[Laughs] No, that’s not weird.

 Is that the sort of movie you got into acting to do?
No, that’s kind of surpassed my wildest imaginations so I have to say no. I never thought or envisioned or dreamed about being part of something like that really. It’s not what drew me to acting at all. I think what drew me to acting was feeling the connection to other actors while doing a greatly written scene. When I started out it was mostly theater that was appealing to me. When I started making movies, I understood how I could transition the technique that I had for theater into film, and then I actually started making movies more. Now I sort of feel that I have to go back to stage pretty soon, like within a year I need to go back on stage.

 Will you have time to do that?
It depends, but that’s the goal.

Have you gotten the @For_a_dollar tweets on Twitter?
I don’t know, I don’t have Twitter.

Oh, any time you say Robocop, @For_a_dollar tweets “I’d buy that for a dollar!”
[Laughs] Really?

Yes. What’s in store for the next season of “The Killing?”
Well, I don’t know. I’m waiting.

When would that be if you do Robocop and then back to theater?
We haven’t gotten a pickup yet for a third season of “The Killing” so I’m waiting for that.
