Filmgate is delighted to announce that our work on "Arn: The Kingdom at Road’s End" has been completed. This is the biggest feature film project in Scandinavia to date and Filmgate is very proud to have been selected as the single Scandinavian supplier of the digital visual effects.

Filmgate worked on sky replacements, crowd multiplication, set extensions and matte paintings; churches, castles and buildings were created and extended in 3D, and the end battle (shot in summer) had to be altered to a winter environment. Also, fires, flags, ships, arrows and people were added and multiplied in large scale scenes.

In the second and final installment of the Arn saga, based on Jan Guillou’s trilogy of novels, Arn returns home to unite his people and bring peace to his country, and to finally wed his Cecilia.

Once Arn is back, he learns that forces are still at work to keep him separated from his beloved, but thanks to Queen Blanka they can get married at last. The couple start a home in Forsvik and have another child, but Arn knows war lures around the corner – it is only a matter of time until the Sverkers will try to reclaim the throne with help from the Danes. Thus, Arn begins to build his own army…

The film production is headed by Svensk Filmindustri in conjunction with Film i Väst, TV4 (Sweden), Danmarks Radio (Denmark), YLE (Finland), TV 2 (Norway) and Telepool (Germany). With a total budget of around US$30,000,000 for the whole production, it is the most expensive production in Scandinavian film history.
