The film was shot in 76 days in Switzerland, New York, Budapest and Borneo. In a massive operation, the film team went to remote locations in the last remnants of primary jungle on Borneo, bringing back images of stunning beauty. The indigenous actors were cast among the original Penan people who continue their struggle to this day. This unique approach will certainly make PARADISE WAR stand out as one of the most remarkable films to come out in 2019, including a fantastic soundtrack by Academy Award®-winning composer Gabriel Yared. 1984: Searching for an experience that goes deeper than the superficiality of modern civilisation, Bruno Manser travels into the jungles of Borneo and finds it with the nomadic Penan tribe. It is an encounter that changes his life forever. When the existence of the Penan is threatened by relentless deforestation, Manser takes up the fight against logging with a courage and determination that makes him one of the most renowned and credible environmentalists of his time.

  • Home of the American Birkebeiner to Host North American Premiere of Magnolia Pictures’ ‘The Last King’ (‘Birkebeinerne’)
    For Immediate Release Source: Magnolia Pictures & American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation Contact: Nancy Knutson 715-638-2637 [email protected] HOME OF THE AMERICAN BIRKEBEINER TO HOST NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE OF MAGNOLIA PICTURES’ ‘THE LAST KING’ (‘BIRKEBEINERNE’) American Birkebeiner is North America’s Largest Cross Country Ski Marathon Hayward, WI (February 8, 2016) - Magnolia Pictures, in collaboration with the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation, is pleased to announce the North American premiere of the extraordinary Norwegian feature film THE LAST KING. The event will mark the first time the film will be viewed publicly on North American soil. THE LAST KING is rooted in Norwegian history and tells the story of the very legacy upon which the American Birkebeiner ski marathon is based. In 1206, Norway was ravaged by civil war, and a boy, Prince Haakon Haakonsson, the illegitimate baby son of a Norwegian king, was guarded in secrecy. He was a boy that half the kingdom was out to kill and whom two brave Birkebeiner warriors, so called because of their birch bark leggings, vowed to protect with their very lives by skiing the infant prince over the Norwegian mountains to safety. THE LAST KING is the story of the escape which forever changed the history of Norway. “Once we learned of the American Birkebeiner ski marathon, we knew we wanted to share the film with this fiercely dedicated group of adventurous spirits,” said Neal Block, Magnolia Pictures Head of Distribution. “The American Birkebeiner is a true celebration of the courage, perseverance, character and determination of the warriors at the heart of THE LAST KING.” Each February an estimated 40,000 skiers and spectators gather in Cable and Hayward, Wisconsin to take part in North America’s largest and greatest ski race, the American Birkebeiner.
