The Killing - Stills, Characters, Soundtrack

I'm in eager anticipation of the US adaptation of The Killing. While AMC keeps excluding us from viewing their videos, I'm quite excited about the newest stills, pictures and on-location shots. Enjoy the characters Mitch (Michelle Forbes), Stan (Brent Sexton), Sarah (Mireille Enos) and Stephen (Joel Kinnaman):










Also, Veena Sud and Patty Jenkins on set:

According to IMDb they'll be using the original Forbrydelsen soundtrack composed by Frans Bak. Wonderful! Last week I made a video with pictures and stills of the Danish characters, listen to this haunting theme tune on Youtube:

Hi, may I ask: where did you find the first still with Michelle Forbes in the blue jacket and the stills with Veena Sud and Patty Jenkins?

Chris said...

AMCtv.com, gallery, blog, news etc. IMDb, The Killing

Are they still shooting?
Is Michelle still on location in Vancouver?

Chris said...

Yes & yes ;-)

The family story arc is THE emotional center, the heart of the drama in the original Forbrydelsen. I guess, they'll keep it that way. Both Theis and Pernille (Mitch and Stan) play a major role until the last episode.

What I'm missing (in the promos, videos, photos) is the 4th story arc from Forbrydelsen :D

ahm, what I've forgot ... Theis (= Stan) -alongside Sarah and Jan - was my absolute favourite character in Forbrydelsen, I was so in love with this wonderful guy, best male character on TV ever. And what I've seen so far of Brent Sexton, that won't change :)

What band and what song is used for the intro theme music for the show...it is very haunting and stays with you.

I'm just wondering if anyone could tell me what is the song that Sterling is listening to in her headphones in an earlier episode, can't remember which one.

What is the band and song played when Mitch and Stan recognized Rosie's body?

Chris said...

Intro theme: it's the orginal Forbrydelsen theme tune by Frans Bak, performed by Neptune.
At the morgue: it's also by Frans Bak, from the original Forbrydelsen, it's the family's theme.

Ep 4, the song Sterling is listening to: "Sleep the Clock Around" by Belle & Sebastian

I want the soundtrack but cannot find anything, anywhere about the original version or what AMC is using other than the info listed above. Sadly iTunes does not have anything available. Hopefully someone from AMC is monitoring this blog and want to take my money for this exquisite soundtrack.
