The Snowman trailer arrives Simon Fitzjohn July 19, 2017 Editor's Choice, Latest News and Videos 1246 The first trailer has landed for Jo Nesbo adaptation The Snowman – and we like it. It’s a return to the big screen for Swedish director Tomas Alfredson, who has wowed us with the likes of Let The Right One In and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy in the past. Michael Fassbender takes the lead here, starring as detective Harry Hole, on the trail of a killer who has the neat trick of leaving a snowman near his victims, with decapitation also part of the gory procedure.

Joining Fassbender are the likes of Rebecca Ferguson, JK Simmons and even Val Kilmer. Here’s the trailer:
