We are delighted to announce a Danish acquisition by Hr. Ferdinand of The Guardian Angel, Einar Hansen’s psychological thriller set in 1950s Copenhagen. Danish rights went to Line Miller at Hr. Ferdinand at auction for a 2018 tie-in publication with the feature film of the same name.

“As soon as I heard about The Guardian Angel, I knew that it would be relevant for the Danish market. The hypnosis murders were an infamous case in Denmark, and with the strength of the narrative combined with a star-studded lineup we felt that this was a publication that we just couldn’t miss. All sails are set here at Ferdinand for the spring, when we will publish The Guardian Angel in close collaboration with Scanbox,” said Miller.

Rights previously sold in Italy (Piemme, auction), Serbia (Vulkan) and Finland (WSOY), and we have first offers in Portugal.

The Guardian Angel film will be released internationally in 2018, with nationwide distribution deals closed in Denmark, Finland, Croatia, Poland, India, China, and the Middle East, with further distribution deals to be announced soon.
