Interessante. Molto gradevole, soprattutto, la prosa del giornalista:
asciutta ma al tempo stesso incisiva.

THE STORY OF "THE COUNT" - A FILM
"Twilight" actor to play Varg Vikernes in forthcoming film.
CANNES / OSLO (Dagbladet.no): Come September, the shooting of "Lords of 
Chaos ", a film chronicling the life of Varg Vikernes and the Norwegian 
black metal scene, will begin.
The film will be based on the book "Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of 
the Satanic
Metal Underground "by Didrik S�derlind and Michael Moynihan.
A Humorous Portrayal of Norway
Three years ago, plans had been underway to make the book into a film. 
However, the producers lacked funding at the time.
Now, however, with funding underway, producer Stuart Pollok of Saltire 
Entertainment is in Cannes to promote the project.
Why did you choose to make this film?
- It is a fascinating topic, a great visual world to depict, and a fun 
portrayal of Norway. Black metal is possibly the largest cultural export 
of Norway in the past twenty years, says Pollok to Dagbladet.no.
A Teen Film
In his manuscript to Norwegian Hans Fjellestad, Pollok has revealed that 
the film will be based on actual events.
It will be a story of youth and youthful energy, says Pollok, but he 
emphasises that the film will fall under the teen film category, and 
that it will be a psychological horror film.
"Lords of Chaos" is to be directed by the avant-garde Japanese director, 
Sion Sono. Sion has won three awards at the Berlin film festival for his 
works "Ai no mukidashi" and "Kimy� na s�kasu"
"Lords of Chaos" will be his first English film.
 From a Vampire to the Count
The film's lead role of Varg Vikernes will be played by Jackson Rathbone 
of "Twilight" fame. Rathbone, however, has expressed concern that the 
shooting of the third "Twilight" film may delay the filming of "Lords of 
Chaos".
Rathbone also played the lead role in "The Last Airbender" by M. Night 
Shyamalan, which will premiere next year. As "Lords of Chaos" comes to 
the theatres, then, Rathbone will be taking his step from being a simple 
actor to a Hollywood star.
Pollok confirmed to Dagbladet.no that he will also be casting Norwegian 
actors.
Sentenced for Murder
On May 16th, 1994, Vikernes was sentenced to 21 years in prison for the 
murder of �ystein
Aarseth. His criminal records include the burning of the �sane Church in 
Bergen, the Skjold Church in Vindafjord, and the Holmenkollen Chapel in 
Oslo, as well as attempts to burn down the Stortveit Church in Bergen.
In March, Vikernes told Dagbladet that he was soon to be discharged on 
parole.
"Lords of Chaos", the book on which the film will be based, is subject 
to controversy within the Norwegian black metal scene. Vikernes has 
spoken out against some of the claims that were made about him and the 
black metal scene:
All of the claims and statements made in this book are either 
misinterpreted, taken out of context, confused, defamatory lies, have 
been subject to extreme exaggeration, and/or information from unreliable 
third parties, wrote Vikernes from Ringerike prison in 2004.
Has Varg Vikernes stated that he is not supportive of this project?
The events that came to pass are interesting and fascinating, said Pollok.
Svein Andresen of Film Camp, responsible for the Norwegian recording 
locations and production, stated thus:
What happened has been widely known to the public for a long time, and 
is now known worldwide. This was a gang that declared war on society. 
Actually, it is not surprising that Norwegian filmmakers have picked up 
on this piece of history.
