Anne Nikitin (The Dropout, American Animals, Hijack, I.S.S., Mrs. Wilson,Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, Dangerous Liaisons, One Day, Fate: The Winx Saga, Lost Girls) is attached to score the upcoming drama Dark Ocean. The film is directed by Baldvin Z (Black Sands, Life in a Fishbowl) and stars Adam DiMarco, director Baltasar Kormákur and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson. The movie follows a 28-year-old Canadian-born Icelander who joins a North Atlantic fishing trawler for his first long voyage at sea in order to provide for his girlfriend who is expecting their first child, but life aboard the vessel is far harsher than he anticipated. Matthías Tryggvi Haraldsson (Síðustu dagar Sæunnar, Griðastaður/Refuge) wrote the screenplay. Baldvin Z is also producing the project with Guðgeir “Gucci” Arngrímsson (From Iceland to Eden, Albatross) for Glassriver and Christine Haebler (Monkey Man, Shut In) for Terminal City Pictures. Dark Ocean is set to start shooting in early 2027 in Iceland and Canada. (THR)
Nikitin’s other recent feature projects include William Scoular’s Northbound, which premiered at this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival and is currently awaiting a release date.
