Scorsese Brings ‘Snabba Cash’ to the States

One reason I’m so excited for the prospect of actor Joel Kinnaman to play Robocop, is his performance in the Swedish film Snabba Cash, or Easy Money as it’s known in the States. With the highly anticipated sequel set to release this August in Sweden, it was announced today that none other than Martin Scorsese is partnering with the Weinstein Co. in bringing the original film to US theaters.In a quote from The Hollywood Reporter, Scorsese said “I was deeply impressed by Daniel Espinosa’s Easy Money — by the harsh, elemental style, which reflects the milieu and the lives of the characters; by the powerful sense of fate, of well-meaning people who take one wrong turn and end up paying a terrible price; by the frightening and surprising evolution of the hero.”

Look for Easy Money to have a limited release starting July 11th.
