Fancy seeing Mads Mikkelsen trying to survive in the Arctic? You might just be in luck...
Mads Mikkelsen, he of Hannibal and Doctor Strange and Rogue One, has been cast to star in Arctic, a survival thriller currently in production, according to Deadline.
The premise? A man stranded in the Arctic is about to get his long-awaited rescue, only for the opportunity to slip through his fingers. With no rescue coming, the man must decide whether to remain at his camp or start off across the tundra in the hopes of something better. That man will be played by Mikkelsen.
It's nice to see Mikkelsen getting a less antagonistic role. After Casino Royale, the Danish actor tends to get cast as the bad guy (his performance in the extraordinary The Hunt shows just what he can do). Who knows if the man will make it out of the Arctic,...

Orlando Jones is no stranger to online video; the former MADtv performer previously starred in MysteryGuitarMan Joe Penna's Meridian web series. Now, Jones has been given a chance to show off his own creative skills with Tainted Love, an action comedy that recently took off on Machinima Prime. Tainted Love stars Jones as Black Barry, a hitman who gets tied up with a small potatoes thief named Jezebel (Deanna Russo) after he impregnates her. Things take a hairy turn after Barry incurs the wrath of his boss (Eric Roberts), and a fast-paced bloodbath soon ensues. A comment from Machinima on the series' trailer describes it as "Scott Pilgrim with guns," and this seems like an accurate enough description. Like Pilgrim, Tainted Love moves at an extremely quick pace, featuring plenty of quick cuts and embellished by the same colorful on-screen comic book decor that made Pilgrim a hit. Tainted...
