    • Quotes
      [on The Snowman (2017)] It happened very abruptly - suddenly we got notice that we had the money and could start the shoot in London. Our shoot time in Norway was way too short. We didn't get the whole story with us and when we started cutting we discovered that a lot was missing. It's like when you're making a big jigsaw puzzle and a few pieces are missing so you don't see the whole picture.
