What's new?

Last updated: 05/06-03

There are a brand new forum on the Zwartfanpage, so it is now ready for you to join and talk about Harald and his movies

-------------------

This week things are starting to happen to the Zwartfanpage, so please come back soon to check out all the new features.

-------------------

Harald sent me a new picture of him with two friends, Oscar-winners Michael Douglas and Steven Soderbergh.

Harald also tells me that the test-screening of "Agent Cody Banks" went really well, it got a score of 98%. Much better then any other film in a very long time, way to go Harald!

------------------

My server is currently full, so it will take some time before all the video from the "Cody Banks" set will be up on this site.

But here is a little teaser of what´s to come!

The music you hear is from Maria Solheims latest CD "Behind Closed Doors", in stores now!

Also lots of pictures and written on set-reports will come soon, but first I need a new server.

27/05-02:
The "Cody Banks" shoot started today in Vancouver.

----------------

Today Haralds Norwegian production company Zwart Arbeid was given 1,5 million Norwegian kroner divided over two years to produce films in his hometown Fredrikstad. According to the newspaper "Dagbladet", Zwart Arbeid will start producing a TV-show, and possibly two feature films.

Haralds wife Veslemøy who runs the company will now sit down and work out the budgets, while Harald keeps up his work on "Cody Banks" in Vancouver.

This is what Stein Slyngstad, director of the Norwegian Film Fund had to say when he announced who had gotten support.
- Zwart Arbeid is a very exiting company that can give a lot of new impulses to the Norwegian film community. They can become a very important collective with its rare energy, I know they will do something special. We expect a lot from them.

I have updated the Cody Banks page!

-----------------

As many of you here in Norway probably heard, Harald was last week voted "The sexiest man in Norway" by the very popular web-portals "Nettavisen.no" and "Spray.no". Harald told me today that everyone at his office was having fun with him because of this....

The voting was done by the female visitors of the site. This news spread very quickly and ended up on Tv later the next day.

This is the article that started it all:

He will start it together with his wife Veslemøy Ruud Zwart, producer Espen Horn and two directors from Moland Film.
Their main office will be located in Oslo, and they will specialize in making commercials.
