Ever since Stieg Larsson was catapulted to worldwide fame posthumously with his Millennium Trilogy, the American media has been looking for more Scandinavian authors to continue the trend. Norwegian writer Jo Nesbo seems poised to be Larsson’s successor, although he had already introduced himself to North American audiences many years prior with his Harry Hole series of books. Now an adaptation of his book Headhunters is heading to the big screen, and the trailer is also really pushing the Stieg Larsson connection, announcing the fact that it is from the producers of the Swedish Millennium Trilogy films in the same font as David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trailer.

The movie revolves around a distinguished gentleman named Roger Brown who works as a successful corporate headhunter by day, but at night just so happens to be a highly skilled art thief. When he attempts the biggest heist of his life, things don’t go according to plan and he finds himself involved in a “dangerous game of cat and mouse.” The trailer does a good job of making the movie look thrilling without a single line of dialogue, thus keeping under wraps the fact that it is actually subtitled. Have no fear though… a U.S. remake is already in the works! Headhunters hits select theatres on April 27th; check out the trailer after the jump and see what you think.
