British director Scott Vickers is helming an upcoming crime thriller titled “Nozem,” set in Amsterdam’s criminal underworld. The production commences filming in the Dutch capital in the coming week, according to an announcement.
The film stars Buddy Boerkoel, who also penned the screenplay, alongside Daniel Fathers, known for his work on “House of the Dragon.” The supporting cast includes Francesca van Neuren, Ibrahim Naji, Jamie Gene, Mario Wittmann, Bram Legerstee, Liam James Collins, Ivana Stamenkovits, and William Sutton. The title “Nozem” translates to “Street Thug” in Dutch.
The narrative centers on a character named Robbie, whose parents were killed by prominent gangster Franz Müller decades earlier. Seeking retribution, Robbie embeds himself within the gang responsible for his family’s deaths, progressing from lower ranks with the intention of eliminating Müller. However, his plan encounters complications when the gang’s British underboss begins mentoring him to settle a dangerous obligation.
Vickers, recognized for his work on the horror feature “Matriarch” and episodes of the BBC drama “House of the Dragon,” expressed enthusiasm for the project. He noted that the screenplay successfully balances character development with action-oriented storytelling and praised the quality of the fight choreography and stunt team involved.
Production credits include producers Jamie Gene, Eva Machek, Anna Vozdroganova, and Orhan Vehabovic, with executive producers Boerkoel, van Neuren, and Henk Hoek. Vickers recently completed the short film “King of the Iron Will,” which qualified for Oscar consideration and received a HollyShorts nomination.
