Netflix released a trailer and first-look photos for Against the Ice, adapted from Ejnar Mikkelsen's book Against the Ice: The Classic Arctic Survival Story. The film stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) as Mikkelsen, "a real-life polar explorer who sets out to recover the bodies and records from the ill-fated Denmark Expedition. The 1909 quest in frozen Greenland turned into a perilous fight for survival," Entertainment Weekly reported.
Directed by Peter Flinth, the project was co-adapted by Joe Derrick and Coster-Waldau. The cast also includes Charles Dance, Joe Cole (Peaky Blinders), Ed Speleers (Outlander) and Heida Reed.
"Everything about this expedition is not widely known. It's a great story that we can't wait for people to experience," Coster-Waldau said. Against the Ice debuts March 2 on Netflix.
