KÅRE AMONG THE VAMPIRES
Kåre Hedebrant from Hässelby has one of the leads in the new
Vampirefilm Let the right one in.
When we meet him Its only a few weeks to go until the premiere. Director Tomas Alfredson has already received international awards for the movie and received attention, But Kåre hedebrant has been protected from the media and not done many interview.
- But, as Tomas say, Soon the dogs will be loose.
Maybe he will becoma a child celebrity now, in all cases better known than when he A few years ago played Emil in Uffe Larsson's summer production of "Emil i Lönneberga" If so, it does'nt bother him that much, maby it would mean better chances of getting new filmroles.
We're sitting on a Café few steps away from Kare's school, Adolf Fredriks Musik Klasser, where the film-people came a couple of years ago in search of who would play Oskar, the bullied and lonely boy in Blackeberg who becomes friends with a vampire girl.
- They usually come to our school for some reason. It was a long queue to the audition in the Assebly Hall.
Me and another guy from my class got to go on a second audition. And then one more test shooting and one more. In the end
it started to be quite scary cause i started to belive i might actually get the role.
Kåre eventually got the part as Oskar. He thinks that one of the reasons can be that he looks similar to John Ajvide Lindqvist as a child.
Kåre Closes his eyes and thinks a little while before he explains the character he is playing.
- He's quite a mysterious person somehow. How should I say... Such a boy who is excluded. And he walks around and thinks alot about Revenge.
Oskar lives alone with his mother in Blackeberg. In school he is bullied and battered by three boys in the same class. In the eavning he collects articles about murderes and voilence. One night he meets a girl that just has moved in next door to him. It is the beginning of a fragile love story between two vunareble children who have no other to trust but eachother. The film is set during the winter of 1981. Oskar and Eli, who is played by Lina Leandersson, is spending most of there time together outside on the snowey junglegym. Since Stockholms winters are not as snowey as they use to be, some of the scenes were shot in a similar residential area in Luleå
- It was really cold in the playground. Especially for Lina because she only got to wear T-shirt and thin trousers. I got to wear a jacket but no mittens.
Its fun to act! The hardest part is the long waiting. Other than than its great fun. And you also earn some money that you can save. I could imagine having a regular job in the future. I didn't think of this as a job, though. But to act or sing at the opera is also jobs, even if it is very fun jobs.
