Bytte Bytte Baby or Maybe Baby is a Danish film made under the able direction of Barbara Topse-Rothenborg. Starring famous faces like Katinka Lærke Petersen, Mille Dinesen, and others, the film has a fantastic execution. This comedy film could be compared to the famous Bollywood comedy Good Newwz, where couples who are unable to conceive naturally seek medical help, resulting in a disaster. Bytte Bytte Baby focuses on two couples who are left with no choice but to come to an understanding among themselves when they find out that their fertilized eggs have been exchanged due to the mismanagement of the fertility clinic. The well-knitted comic plot cracks us up, and the portrayal of different human emotions during pregnancy has also been well-depicted in the film. Will the mothers get to have their own babies? Let’s find out.

The theatrical market across the Nordics recovered in 2022 without reaching pre-pandemic levels, driven predominantly by U.S. fare, such as “Top Gun: Maverick,” the biggest hit in Denmark, Finland and Sweden, “Minions: The Rise of Gru” No 1 in Iceland, and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” No 1 in Norway.
As always Danish movies secured the biggest national market share (30), followed by Finland (27), Norway (23) Sweden (19.3), and Iceland (10). Revenues were often more equally split across a larger number of titles, reaching record levels in several territories, as a result of Covid, that created a bottleneck of new releases.
Denmark
After a quiet start of the year with theaters locked down for the first two weeks due to Covid, ticket sales kickstarted again and ended up at 10.23 million, which is 49 up over 2021, but 20 down on pre-pandemic levels.
Revenue-wise, the Danish market hit Dkk 994.67 million (144.3 million), up 52 from the 2021 annus horribilis for cinemas, but just 16 down on the 2019 trawl,...

Sf Studios has boarded “Maybe Baby,” a high-concept Danish comedy about pregnancy and fertility treatments which is directed by Barbara Topsøe-Rothenborg (“Loving Adults”).
The movie starts shooting this month with Danish actors Mille Dinesen, Katinka Lærke Petersen, Lars Ranthe and Kasper Dalsgaard. Sf Studios is producing with Marcella Dichmann and will handle Nordic distribution.
.
“Maybe Baby” follows two couples, Cecilie and Andreas and Liv and Malte, who are both in fertility treatment and discover that the clinic has swapped the fertilized eggs, setting off an avalanche of absurd conflicts. The cast is completed by Sara Boberg, Neel Rønholt, Solbjørg Højfeldt, Laura Bro and Thomas Bo Larsen.
“Fertility treatment is still enormously taboo. As many as 20 of Danes have difficulty getting pregnant, and every ninth child is born through fertility treatment,” said Topsøe-Rothenborg, who recently directed “Loving Adults,” the upcoming Netflix feature film, and “Food Club.”

The Danish eight-part series, commissioned by pubcaster TV2, is set in the titular seaside community. Last week, production on a new Danish eight-part crime series, entitled White Sands, wrapped. The project is directed by Frederiksberg-born helmer Tilde Harkamp, who recently worked on Hunting Season (2019), a comedy starring Mille Dinesen, Lærke Winther and Stephania Potalivo in the lead roles. White Sands is based on a screenplay penned by writing duo Anders Rønnow Klarlund and Jacob Weinreich, best known as Aj Kazinski, who have lived in the Danish seaside community of Hvide Sande (“White Sands” in English), where the story is set. In detail, the series follows German detective Thomas (played by Carsten Bjørnlund) and Danish cop Helene (Marie Bach Hansen), who are both in the doldrums after turning their backs on love.

Fresh off Game of Thrones, Lena Headey is set to star in Rita, a subversive Showtime comedy pilot.
Lena Headey’s eight years in the role of the imperious, calculatingly cruel, shallow-end-of-the-gene-pool-fishing Cersei Lannister may seem to distance the actress from the concept of comedy, but that, indeed, is what the former Game of Thrones star has just procured, with a new TV pilot, with Showtime, called Rita.
Back in June, Showtime announced its pilot order for Rita, an adaptation of the 2012-2017 Danish series of the same name, in which Lena Headey will star as its title character, who’s described as “a headstrong, unconventional teacher and single mother who takes on every kind of authority – as well as her family – in a messy and unfiltered way.” Danish actress Mille Dinesen played the role in the original series.

With one of the biggest TV shows in recent history firmly in the rearview mirror, one of its stars is quickly amassing a number of new roles.
Lena Headey will star in an upcoming Showtime pilot “Rita,” the network announced on Thursday. The former “Game of Thrones” star will play the title role, a woman whose dramedy-adjacent struggles inside and outside the classroom where she works form the basis of the series.
Thursday’s announcement describes the character Rita as “a headstrong, unconventional teacher and single mother who takes on every kind of authority – as well as her family – in a messy and unfiltered way.”
This new series comes from creator Christian Torpe, based on his Danish series of the same name. That version of the show, which starred Mille Dinesen in the title role, was Torpe’s TV follow-up after being at the helm of now-defunct Spike’s adaptation...

Netflix continues to have such a vast array of acquired TV series from around the world that it’s difficult to know what to give a chance. While British shows like “Peaky Blinders” have recognizable faces and don’t require translation, it’s a bit more daunting to commit to a foreign-language series. That requires time and reading before you even know if it’s worth a binge.

The best zombie movies – and TV shows, in the case of The Walking Dead – understand that the most interesting thing about the arrival of flesh-eaters isn’t the monsters themselves, but rather the very human drama that they bring to the surface of any given situation. They were once us, and one wrong move can turn us into them, and if that’s not the recipe for a horror story loaded with all kinds of drama, I’m not sure what is. Though not nearly on the level of either George Romero’s classics or AMC’s hit series, Denmark’s very first zombie film at least seems to have some understanding of what makes them so good.

An extremely well-made horror film from Denmark, What We Become (original title: Sorgenfri) examines the churning emotional dynamics of a nuclear family when they are placed under extreme -- some might even call it apocalyptic -- stress. Mother Pernille (Mille Dinesen) and father Dino (Troels Lyby) live with their two children in Sorgenfri, a leafy suburban neighborhood just north of Copenhagen. While their youngest, a young girl, is sweet and obedient, Gustav (Benjamin Engell), their older child, is in the 'teenage rebellion' period of his life; nothing violent, just disagreeable. But even he is cheered up when he sees a pretty girl about his age move in with her family nearby. Besides these minor issues, what could go wrong? It's summer and the living is...

While What We Become might be Denmark’s first post-apocalyptic zombie thriller, horror fans are quite familiar with the overplayed subgenre. Think of Bo Mikkelsen’s feature debut as a shrunken-down, more contained version of The Walking Dead, as viewers helplessly watch humanity devolve into chaos and destruction (once again). The Crazies, 28 Days Later, Romero’s Dead series – Mikkelsen charts doomsday waters that have been previously explored by many films before, which audiences will immediately recognize. With every horror director and their mother trying to navigate the zombie apocalypse, you need a differentiating “Wow” factor to stand apart from the pack. Mikkelsen tries, and proves to run a tight narrative, but it’s everything we’ve seen before, except for a new, peachy locale.
Told from the perspective of a cheery suburban household, What We Become follows an infectious flu-like virus that overtakes a small, model town. Everything starts innocently enough,...
