Film & Drama Rights
Books are not only books – they are stories which often live on in the form of screen adaptations or dramatizations. Gyldendal Group Agency also handles the film and dramatization rights on behalf of a selection of authors, such as Morten Ramsland, Thorkild Hansen and Johannes V. Jensen, just to name a few.

Both theatres and movie companies have discovered the impact of great literature, and authors represented by GGA have contributed to successful films such as:
  • Nordkraft [Angels in Fast motion] (2005)
  • Kongekabale [King’s Game] (2004)
  • Pelle Erobreren [Pelle the Conqueror] (1987)
  • Tænk på et tal [Think of a number] (1969)
In addition to these a large number of theatre setups, radio plays, and short films have been based on the works by authors represented by GGA.

For more information on film or drama rights please contact Foreign Rights Manager Sofie Voller.
