A biopic on Swedish artist and feminist pioneer Hilma af Klint is being developed by Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group), with Enemies star Lena Olin attached to play the lead role. According to Deadline, celebrated Swedish filmmaker Lasse Hallstrom is on board to write and direct the movie.

Titled "Hilma", the film will explore the enigmatic life of Klint, whose unconventional art remained largely unknown for decades. She navigated through a male-dominated artistic scene to eventually become one of the Western world's first abstract artists. Splendid Solution: Jeremy Strong to Play Polio Vaccine Inventor Jonas Salk in His Biopic .

Olin will play Klint in her later years, while her and Hallström's daughter Tora Hallstrom, will be portraying the artist in her younger years. "I've spent three years trying to understand the mystery of Hilma af Klint. This is a story about an unwavering search for the truth about humanity and the universe, at a time when men made all the rules,” said the director. “Despite so many obstacles, Hilma created art that influences our lives today. My ambition is for the audience to experience these struggles with all their senses,” he added. Jamie Foxx’s Mike Tyson Biopic Is Moving Forward as a Limited Series.
