‘Operation Napoleon – Tears of the Wolf’ Boarded by Beta Cinema

Sales agency Beta Cinema has boarded “Operation Napoleon – Tears of the Wolf,” a sequel to hit Nordic adventure “Operation Napoleon,” which sold to more than 40 countries, including the U.S., where Magnolia released it. Beta will launch sales at the American Film Market in Los Angeles.

“Operation Napoleon – Tears of the Wolf” sends Kristin and her team on a hunt for the “Tears of the Wolf” — a legendary stash of Nazi diamonds hidden during World War II. After witnessing a murder, Kristin uncovers the first clues and, together with Steve and Einar, deciphers fragmented wartime artifacts, lost musical notes, and encrypted codes.

Their journey spans Iceland, Finland and Germany, culminating in a high-stakes chase through Helsinki’s underground bunker system and a dramatic showdown in the Finland Archipelago. Pursued by brutal mercenaries and a deadly assassin, the trio must navigate twists, betrayals and historical secrets buried deep in Europe’s past.

Finnish director Jyri Kähönen (“Trackers,” “Bordertown,” “Ihon Alla”) is helming the English-language thriller, working from a script written again by Marteinn Thorisson (“Operation Napoleon,” “Jack Taylor,” “Niko”).

The cast features returning leads Vivian Ólafsdóttir (“It Hatched,” “Reykjavík 112”), Jack Fox (“Riviera,” “Sanditon,” “Cheaters”), and Icelandic acting icon Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (“Severance,” “Trapped,” “True Detective,” “Fantastic Beasts”). They are joined by Tom Weston-Jones (“True Things,” “Warrior,” “Copper”) and Laura Birn (“Void,” “The Crow,” “A Walk Among the Tombstones,” “Foundation”).

The film is shooting in Turku, the archipelago area in Finland, Iceland and Hamburg until Nov. 21.

It is produced by Anita Elsani and Alexander Klein for Germany’s Splendid Entertainment, and Kjartan Thor Thordarson of Iceland’s Sagafilm,…
