the Movie "Narvik - Hitler's first defeat" deals with the battle of Narvik in 1940. According to Aaberge they want to continue to make a bigger tv-series about the fighting that raged in the Town for over 60 days in 1940.

- There is no doubt that we are now going to make a feature film, but I have also not given up the idea of a tv series. It comes in that case in addition to the film. We have all the way thought that it can be both series and movie. What happened in Narvik is so much and huge that one must use a serieformat to justify it, " says Aaberge.

In the series should soldiers speak their respective languages and the different countries ' acts of war is told as parallellhistorier.

- Must sacrifice

The dream burst, it is currently the only talk of a feature film, admits Aaberge.

- We have to sacrifice the great battle and make a movie with Norwegian history and Norwegian characters. The allies are, of course, but more in the background.

the Newspaper meets the manufacturer in Berlin during the Berlinalen, where he has carpeted the calendar of meetings. The goal is to bring home funding to both the movie and series. When the need Aaberge 150 million, revised down from around 180 that they wanted in the last year.

In a series of 150 million we must cut the large naval battle. 62 ships were sunk in the battles in Narvik, but in the series it will take place in the background. It is the English story which are affected the most by this. It is also linked with that we have had with some englishmen on the project, even though we have been in London twice and had a series of meetings there. The british are so self-centered that if it is not about them, they will not.

Unorthodox launch

Manages the Nordic Film to take in countries funds to both the movie and series will the launch be unorthodox. The material in the feature film can also be used in the tv series, " says Aaberge.

When the movie will first go on cinema. So it seriepremiere three to four months later, with the same actors in the same universe. We are in some skjebneuker forward. If we are not in Berlin, breaking the tv series.
