Okay, so Tomas Alfredson’s upcoming adaptation of Jo Nesbo’s
serial killer thriller, The Snowman, looks grim, tense, and
disturbing. What footage we’ve seen overflows with creepy imagery, it has a
fantastic cast, and should be a white-knuckle ride later this fall. There’s
nothing even remotely humorous about it. So why can’t I take it seriously? Why do
I laugh every time it comes to mind? Because the protagonist’s name is Harry
Hole, that’s why. Don’t get me wrong, the film still looks promising as all
hell, but I know myself. I know I’m going to laugh inappropriately when the
movie introduces Detective Harry Hole. That’s a fact. Anyway, here’s a new
international trailer. (Yes, I know it's pronounced "Hoo-Leh," but I'm still going to giggle.)
