In November 2018, it was announced Noomi Rapace and Joel Kinnaman had joined the cast of the film, with Yuval Adler directing from a screenplay by Ryan Covington. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Erik Howsam, Greg Shapiro, and Adam Riback will serve as producers on the film, under their Di Bonaventura Pictures, AGC Studios, and Echo Lake Entertainment banners, respectively.

Bleecker Street has acquired U.S. distribution rights to The Secrets We Keep, the period revenge thriller directed by The Operative‘s Yuval Adler that stars Noomi Rapace, Joel Kinnaman, and Chris Messina. The film hails from AGC Studios in partnership with Ingenious Media and Fibonacci Films. No release plan was revealed.
Rapace stars as Maja, a woman rebuilding her life along with her husband, Lewis (Messina), in America after World War II. One day she encounters an eerily familiar figure (Kinnaman) from her past life – but is he really the man she thinks he is? Convinced he is, Maja takes things into her own hands and kidnaps him, setting in motion a series of memories and events that will change her whole perception of the truth. Amy Seimetz also stars. Ryan Covington penned the script.
Di Bonaventura Pictures’ Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Erik Howsam produced with AGC’s Stuart Ford, Greg Shapiro, and Echo Lake Entertainment’s Adam Riback. Rapace, Greg Clark, Andrea Scarso, and Jamie Jessop are executive producers.
CAA Media Finance brokered the deal between Kent Sanderson and Avy Eschenasy of Bleecker Street and Michael Rothstein and Anant Tamirisa of AGC. “Yuval’s film is propelled by exciting performances from Noomi, Joel, and Chris in this chilling post-WWII thriller,” said Andrew Karpen, CEO of Bleecker Street. “We look forward to bringing the film to audiences nationwide.” Bleecker Street is next up with Military Wives, starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Sharon Horgan, which hits digital and Hulu on May 22.

The Secrets We Keep Trailer
The movie trailer is out, for the upcoming film directed by Yuval Adler, and it depicts the darkest horrors of the post-WWII era. Adler's drama thriller, which he has developed from an original screenplay by Ryan Covington, combines the talents of Swedish superstars Noomi Rapace (Close) and Joel Kinnaman (Altered Carbon). The suspenseful film also co-stars Chris Messina and Amy Seimetz. The Secrets We Keep is being touted as an inventive, emotional revenge thriller, one that matches the sentimental disposition of distributor Bleecker Street's cult classics.
In Bleecker Street's The trailer, Rapace's Maja is a Romani woman who is attempting to rebuild her life with her husband Lewis (Messina) in the American suburbs. The inscrutable Maja has kept her troubled WWII past secret from her husband, but an encounter with an unsuspecting neighbor (Kinnaman) forces her to confess.
Maja recognizes her neighbor as a German soldier who, she believes, had brutalized her and her family 15 years ago. Vengeful, she kidnaps Kinnaman's character and holds him, hostage, despite his denials of not being the man who had hurt her. Watch the film's trailer and check out the poster below.
