CAST & CREW
Acclaimed Swedish actress NOOMI RAPACE (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Prometheus) takes on the challenge of playing seven identical Settman sisters: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, who have been raised in secret by their grandfather. The siblings share one public face, the stoic, uber-professional and successful Karen Settman who acts as the cover identity for all the sisters. Karen’s objective is to blend in and remain under the radar of the Child Allocation Bureau. She is the means by which the Settmans can earn money and survive.
Helmed by Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow, Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters), who received the Best Director accolade at the Puchon International Film Festival, the stellar supporting cast includes GLENN CLOSE as Nicolette Cayman, the head of the Child Allocation Bureau and WILLEM DAFOE as Terrence Settman, the siblings’ grandfather.
The original screenplay for “WHAT HAPPENED TO MONDAY?” made it onto the prestigious Hollywood Blacklist. Screenwriter Max Botkin first came up with the concept back in 2001 and the identical siblings were originally male. When director Tommy Wirkola boarded the project, he felt that making them female would add a more exciting dynamic and having long admired the work of Noomi Rapace, he figured she could pull off the challenge of portraying the seven siblings. Wirkola called Rapace and said that he wanted to pitch her to the producers as the lead. Botkin called this development, “A stroke of genius on Tommy’s part”.
