JESTER, KING & KILLER

A world-class wildlife series - a new style of wildlife film

Don’t expect traditional wildlife films in which viewers are lectured on the workings of the reptilian gastric system or the reasons why snakes have scales. This series is powerfully narrative in style, and like the movies each film has a protagonist whose story we follow throughout the film. But in this case the lead is played by a lizard or snake!
This is a new approach to wildlife films in which the richness and beauty of nature is revealed by putting the viewer into the skin of a snake or lizard and getting a true emotional feel for the tough conditions in which it lives. Jester, King and Killer is the biggest, most prestigious wildlife film project ever made by a Danish film company. It is produced by Loke Film in co-operation with TV 2 Danmark, and has been pre sold to several broadcasters including Discovery, WDR, France 3, Arte, and Norwegian TV 2.
