It was Aftenposten that in May brought the news that the Swedes had joined the battle for filming with a bid of 1.5 million.
No NRK has spoken with have been able to account for where the specific number comes from, but Aftenposten stands firm that it is correct.
– Our case is based on many different sources, and they confirm also today that Stockholm was very interested in getting Harry Hole movie, says cultural editor Sarah Sørheim.
In the radio version of NRK’s case was Aftenposten also cited as the source for centuries. Sørheim therefore believes the newspaper should have been contacted in advance.
– What we reacted strongly, is that NRK will forward allegations that articles we have written is not correct, unless we are contacted and receive opportunity to clear up any confusion, says Sørheim.
– Where does the figure of 1.5 million?
– There is a difference oral proceedings and soundings, and concrete bid which is on the table. That we never have written, that there should have been a concrete quantified bid.
– But you write verbatim “Now it offers the local authorities in Stockholm 1.5 million Swedish kronor in cash to entice manufacturers to use the Swedish capital as location “?
– This is an oral hearing, in which Stockholm has signaled to the manufacturer that they want to get the film, and that one can envision support of this magnitude. It is the usual way such negotiations going on, says Sørheim.
– Hole could have been American!

Film Commissioner Truls Kontny working to facilitate foreign film productions to Norway, and was the one who openly commented the Swedish offer to Aftenposten.
He can not shed light on how the amount of 1.5 million comes from.
– As film commissioner I sign the agreements that I can not talk about financing projects. It goes on professional integrity and all about that manufacturers should be able to trust me. But I do not interfere numbers out of thin air, says Kontny.
– but director and producer have always said that it is essential to record in Oslo?
– Ultimately, it is the money that counts. It becomes too expensive one place, one can always filming somewhere else cheaper, says Kontny.
– Was there ever a real danger that Harry Hole could be Swedish?
– There have been many opportunities. Harry Hole could have been American, he!
