What happens when you remake Duck Tales as a live action Icelandic drama about drug abuse in the style of Lars Von Trier? I’m not entirely sure… but it’s awesome! Oh, and very NSFW for language. Seriously though… this is dark… like Requiem For a Dream dark. Sure, Don’t worry about the fact that the whole thing is in Icelandic… in a way, it actually makes it that much grittier. I’d love to see their take on Rescue Rangers or tail Spin. I bet their Darkwing Duck would be beyond epic!
