Danish star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, best-known as Jaime Lannister in HBO’s Game of Thrones, is coming to Ireland to attend the Gala screening of his latest film.

Scandinavian thriller 3 Things will screen at the Audi Dublin International Film Festival in Cineworld at 6.30pm on Tuesday 27th February.

The movie is set in a hotel where police are negotiating the terms of a witness protection deal with the prime suspect of a robbery and an expert on explosives, Mikael (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). Mikael demands three things from the police: that his former girlfriend is brought to him, that the police bring him the contents of a box he has stored, and that he is served butter chicken from his favourite restaurant. The police, under pressure to get him to testify the following day, agree.

ADIFF Festival Director Gráinne Humphreys said “With the start of the festival just hours away, I’m really excited to announce Game of Thrones stalwart Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, also known for his roles in Mama, Shotcaller and A Second Chance, will be joining us for ADIFF 2018.

“Coster-Waldau’s new film, which he both stars in and of which he is an executive producer, 3 Things is a tense and claustrophobic thriller, packed with twists and turns and he shines as the master criminal who believes that he can charm his way out of any situation.”

Other renowned guests and industry members at this year’s film festival include Rooney Mara, Joaquin Phoenix, Paul Schrader, Vanessa Redgrave, Garth Davis and Sandy Powell.
