The movie explores how the laser tag game went wrong and how the characters
fight it. The movie is about two childhood friends, Sebastian and Mikkel, who
reunite for Sebastian’s bachelor party. Sebastian is grown up and is now
career-oriented and hard working. On the other hand, Mikkel didn’t mature past
his teenage years. But when the party is disturbed by the invasion of an alien,
they fight back as they are the kick-ass laser tag duo.


WHAT IS A NORWEGIAN UFO PHENOMENON?

The inspiration behind the movie is a real-life UFO phenomenon. It is
unexplained Hessdalen lights observed in a 12-kilometer-long stretch of the
Hessdalen valley in rural central Norway. The origin of the lights is unknown.
They appear both day and night and seem to float through and above the valley.

Usually, they are bright white, yellow, or red. Also, they can appear above and
below the horizon. And they last from a few seconds to over an hour. This has
been reportedly appearing since 1930. This phenomenon inspired the creators of
the movie.


CAST, RELEASE DATE, AND MORE…

The movie is going to be available on Netflix in June 2022 casting Norwegian
actors. Axel Bøyum and Fredrik Skogsrudin the lead roles as Sebastian and
Mikkel, respectively. Other cast members include Mathias Luppichini, André
Sørum, Eirik Hallert, Evelyn Rasmussen Osazuwa and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal.
