A Journey Home Postponed

Production on A Journey Home, a movie based on Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson’s novel Slóð Fiðrildanna, has been delayed. Lárus Halldórsson representative for Sagafilm cited the delay in production was due to artistic differences between the actress Jennifer Connelly and director Liv Ullman. Production was scheduled to start in October, but will begin in 2007. The movie will mostly be shot in Reykjavík and is expected to be the most expensive Icelandic movie ever produced. Steve Haft is one of the producers, who also produced Dead Poet’s Society. -mld
