Sky has confirmed that The Hanging Sun, an upcoming Sky Original, will close the 79th Venice International Film Festival on 10 September 2022. The Hanging Sun is directed by Francesco Carrozzini, and is produced by leading Italian production companies Cattleya and Groenlandia, alongside Sky Studios, Sky’s original programming arm across Europe.
Based on the novel “Midnight Sun” by Jo Nesbø, this noir thriller is set amidst the rarefied atmospheres of the Norwegian summer where the sun never sets. Written by Stefano Bises, the film features performances from Alessandro Borghi (Devils), Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey), Sam Spruell (The North Water), Frederick Schmidt (Angel Has Fallen), Raphael Vicas (Grantchester), with Peter Mullan (My Name is Joe) and Charles Dance (Game of Thrones).
The Hanging Sun, a Sky Original will air on Sky Cinema later this year.
