\n\tThe White Lotus season 2 breakout Adam DiMarco<\/a> (Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, Overcompensating) is attached to star in the drama Dark Ocean, the debut feature film from Glassriver<\/a>, the Icelandic TV and film production company.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Canadian actor is set to star opposite previously announced cast members, namely local Icelandic actor, producer and director Baltasar Korm\u00e1kur<\/a> (Everest, Adrift, The Beast, Apex, 2 Guns) and Icelandic-American actor \u00d3lafur Darri \u00d3lafsson<\/a> (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Severance, Your Friends & Neighbors, True Detective, The Deep).<\/p>\n

\n\tDark Ocean follows H\u00e1kon (DiMarco), a 28-year-old Canadian-born Icelander who has lived in Iceland for only three years. Hoping to provide for his girlfriend, who is expecting their first child, he joins a North Atlantic fishing trawler for his first long voyage at sea. However, life aboard the vessel is far harsher than he anticipated. Struggling with both the unforgiving ocean and the unforgiving crew, H\u00e1kon must adapt to a brutal environment governed by its own rules. As tensions rise and lives are put at risk, H\u00e1kon confronts the psychological cost of survival in an isolated, hyper-masculine world shaped by grief, silence and toxic masculinity.<\/p>\n

\n\tKorm\u00e1kur is set to play Captain Andri, with \u00d3lafsson attached to portray a character named H\u00f6ddi. Additional names are set to be unveiled soon.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film is a co-production with Terminal City Pictures in Canada, with Rocket Science handling worldwide sales.<\/p>\n

The director and producer is Glassriver<\/a> co-owner Baldvin Z (Black Sands, Case, Let Me Fall, Life in a Fishbowl, Jitters), with Matth\u00edas Tryggvi Haraldsson (S\u00ed\u00f0ustu dagar S\u00e6unnar, Gri\u00f0asta\u00f0ur\/Refuge) serving as the screenwriter. Additional producers are Gu\u00f0geir \u201cGucci\u201d Arngr\u00edmsson (Odd Fish, From Iceland to Eden, Albatross) for Glassriver and Christine Haebler (Monkey Man, French Exit, Hector, The Search of Happiness) for Terminal City Pictures.<\/p>\n

Also on board are film editor Vald\u00eds \u00d3skarsd\u00f3ttir (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Kursk\/The Command, Lost River, Submarino), as well as the Canadian film composer Anne Nikitin (Scoop, American Animals, Four Letters of Love, Lost Girls).<\/p>\n

Filming is due to start in March 2027, with shooting planned across Iceland and St. John\u2019s in the Canadian province of Newfoundland.<\/p>\n

\n\tBaldvin Z said about DiMarco: \u201cI\u2019ve been looking for H\u00e1kon for a long time. He needed to be someone who could walk into this brutal world of men as an outsider and allow us to experience it through his eyes. Adam has a vulnerability and warmth that immediately drew me to him, but there\u2019s also something unpredictable underneath \u2013 a quiet strength that feels completely right for H\u00e1kon. At its heart, Dark Ocean is about belonging and about the systems that shape young men into the men they become.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHaebler said about the film: \u201cProjects like Dark Ocean don\u2019t come along very often. It\u2019s an honour to be working with this exceptional cast and the talented Glassriver team.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGlassriver\u2019s scripted series slate includes Avalanche, a co-production with Whatevergroup, Konr\u00e1\u00f0, based on the book series by Arnaldur Indri\u00f0ason, and the literary adaptation Reykjavik Noir, based on Lilja Sigur\u00f0ard\u00f3ttir\u2019s novels.
