Blasted is a Norwegian Sci-Fi original film set to be released on Netflix in June. It is directed by Martin Sofiedal and the screenplay is written by Emanuel Nordrum. We got to know about the film first when the first trailer was released during Netflix’s Geeked Week event. It is said to be inspired by the real-life UFO phenomenon in Hessdalen, Norway which has been reported to occur several times a year since the 1930s.
The film will have a runtime of about 1 hour and 55 minutes. It is produced by Heidenstrøm of Miso Film and Peter Bose and Jonas Allen will serve as the executive producers. Recently, films dealing with the topic of zombies, aliens etc are becoming common and highly watched content on Netflix. Being based on real-life events it will be interesting to watch how it would be inculcated in a fiction story.
