The film adaptation Burn All My Letters, based on Swedish author Alex Schulman’s success novel of the same name, has just started shooting in Sweden.

The internationally acclaimed actor Sverrir Gudnason (Borg vs. McEnroe, Gentlemen, A Serious Game) will portray Alex Schulman in the film.
“The process of making a film of my novel has been a very special journey for me. Besides the fact that the elite of Swedish actors has joined the project, I am also thrilled and excited that Sverrir will portray me in the film. He is a tremendously talented actor with a sense a calmness on film and on stage that is mesmerizing”, says Alex Schulman, author.
Sonja Richter, who plays Amanda Schulman, is one of Denmark's greatest actresses (Open Hearts, The Bridge, Unit One) and she is featured in Netflix's upcoming Danish thriller Loving Adults, also produced by SF Studios.
As previously communicated, the international stars Bill Skarsgård (It: Chapters 1 & 2, Deadpool), Asta Kamma August (The Pact, Sex, Follow The Money) and Gustav Lindh (Rider of Justice, Love Me, Queen of Hearts) play the main characters Karin, Sven and Olof during the 1930s.

Sten Ljunggren has also received a Guldbagge Award for his contribution to Swedish film.
“Bringing a film script to life is always a huge challenge, especially if you, like me, are interested in honesty. With this great story, extremely talented actors and dedicated production team, I am very excited to shoot this film and start the journey to the premiere”, says Björn Runge, director.
Burn All My Letters is produced by SF Studios with producers Annika Sucksdorff and Jonathan Ridings with the support from the Swedish Film Institute and in collaboration with SVT, Film i Väst and Film Stockholm.
