Sorry, here is the text! :confused: Just the general idea of what it says would be very helpful.

Den svenske mästerregissören har under sommren spelat in nya "Ett ofärdigt liv" med superstjärnor som Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman och Jennifer Lopez i de ledande rollerna.


"J-Lo var som en liten lammunge"

Lasse Hallström är tillbaka efter sina hjärtproblem - med besked.
För Expressen berättar han om sjukdomen, arbetet med Jennifer Lopez, Leonardo DiCaprio och sin nya storfilm "Casanova".
- Den ska spelas in i Italien i vår, säger stjärnregissören.

Den svenske mästerregissören Lasse Hallström har under sommaren spelat in nya "Ett ofärdigt liv" med superstjärnor som Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman och Jennifer Lopez i de ledande rollerna.
- Hon var jättekul att jobba med. Duktig och disciplinerad. Det funkade jättebra, säger Lasse Hallström, när Expressen träffar honom i Stockholm.
Lasses äkta hälft Lena Olin som hälsade på under inspelningarna utanför kanadensiska Vancouver fyller i:
- Jennifer var som en liten lammunge. Hon tultade omkring och var så snäll. Man såg att hon verkligen ville bli en skådespelerska, att hon verkligen ville lära sig. Hon hade absolut ingen attityd. Inte Robert Redford heller. Det går inte med Lasse som regissör. Det bara rinner av dem. Som att ställa en snögubbe i sol.

DiCaprios bolag

I mars väntar hans nästa film - om hjärtekrossaren Casanova.
- Än så länge vågar jag inte nämna några namn för huvudrollen, säger Lasse Hallström.
Dessutom håller den svenske filmskaparen på att se över ett nytt långfilmsprojekt utifrån boken "The Bomb Shell" om mannen som sålde atomhemligheten till ryssarna. En film som görs för Leonardo DiCaprios bolag.
- Det är en möjlighet att han kommer att spela huvudrollen, säger Lasse Hallström.
Några problem med hjärtflimret som besvärade honom härom-året har regissören inte märkt av mer.
- Nä, det har jag inte, säger Lasse Hallström.

Hello, I do not speak Swedish, but Norwegian is extremely close.
I did a try, there are of course some errors. Mainly the name of the first movie that it's mention, I have no idea the original name. [] marks words that I was unsure off. {} are words I put in to make the text flow better.Expressen is the name of a Swedish newspaper.

Hope this helps you out...
-------------------------

The Swedish master-director has during the summer directed "An Unfinish life" with superstars Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman and Jennifer Lopez in the leading roles.

"J-Lo was a babylamb"

Lasse Hallstrøm is back after his heart problems.
To Expressen he tells about his illness and working with Jennifer Lopez, Leonardo DiCaprio in his new movie "Casanova".
- It will be shot this spring in Italy, says the stardirector

The swedish masterdirector has worked during the summer on his "An Unfinish life" with superstars as Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman and Jennifer Lopez in the leading roles.
-She was great to work with. Competent and disiplined. It worked really well. says Lasse Hallstrøm, when Expressen meets him in Stockholm.
Lasse's wife Lena Olin who met {her} during the shooting outside Vancouver says:
-Jennifer was like a babylamb. She was joking around and was very nice. You could see she really wanted to be an actress, that she really wants to learn. She absolutely did not have an attitude. Neither did Robert Redford. You can't do that with Lasse as director. It just rolls of them. Like putting a snowman in the sun.

DiCaprios [Company]
His new movie awaits in March, about the heatbreaker Casanova.
-In the meanwhile I do not dare to name names for the leading role, says Lasse Hallstrøm
The Swedish film-maker is looking over a project for a movie from the book "The bomb shell" about the man who sold atomic secrets to the russians. A movie that is being made for Leonardo DiCaprio [company]
-There is a possibility he is going to play the leading role, says Lasse Hallstrøm
Problems with his heart that plagued him [last] year, has the director not noticed.
-No, I have to noticed, says Lasse Hallstrøm.

That should be all

Nelson, if you have time this weekend could you please translate this other short article from Expressen? I'm wondering if it says this movie The Swedish Job has been cancelled or just postponed.

*******
Storfilmen "The Swedish job" ställs in. I går kväll fick skådespelerskan Lena Olin beskedet per telefon.
- Det känns tråkigt. Det hade varit jättekul att få filma i Sverige, säger hon.

Den amerikanska thrillern "The Swedish job" går om intet. Filmen hade jättelika budgeten på 150 miljoner kronor och kontrakterade storstjärnor som Harvey Keitel, Billy Bob Thornton, Freddie Prinze Jr, Mikael Persbrandt, Maria Bonnevie, Stellan Skarsgård och Lena Olin i spellistan.
- Det var synd. Det är nästan en av de saker jag saknar mest med Sverige - att få arbeta med svenska kollegor, säger hon.
I framtiden längtar hon efter att få bita i svenska dramatikers texter på nytt.
- Och så skulle jag jättegärna jobba med en kille som Lukas Moodysson. När min son ringde och berättade om "Lilja forever" grät jag, så berörd blev jag. Det skulle verkligen vara spännande att jobba med någon av den nya generationens dramatiker.

Sure .. not a problem..
As long as there is small text like these I can do them in a couple of min.
If you need longer, send me a PM with the text and your e-mail adress and I will do it as soon as I can find the time. But do remember I speak Norwegian and some of the Swedish words I do not understand. However I do get what their are trying to say.
And excuse the bad English in the translation I did not have time to
change some of the errors...sorry!
(words i know are spelled wrong are in () ).

here is the text:

he motion picture "The Swedish Job" is cancel. Yesterday evening the actress Lena Olin was informed by phone.
- It's [sad]. It would have been really fun to film in Sweden, she says.

The american movie "The Swedish job" is cancel.
The movie had a [major] budget of 150 million {SEK} and had hired superstars like
Harvey Keitel, Billy Bob Thornton, Freddie Prinze Jr, Mikael Persbrandt, Maria Bonnevie, Stellan
Skarsgård and Lena Olin.
-It's a shame. That is one of the things I miss about Sweden - to work with Swedish (Collegues), she says.
In the future she hopes to take a bite at swedish [writers] texts again.
- And I would like to work with a guy like Lukas Moodysson. When my son called and told me about "Lilja forever"
I cried, I was that touch. It would be reallt exciting to work with the new generations of writers

You're a gem, Nelson! :) :) Thanks so much for the translation! I'm sorry to hear that Lena's movie got cancelled but hopefully this will mean she'll be free to do more work on the tv show "Alias".

Thanks again!

I do not have the channel that sends "Alias", but I have heard is not very good. However I do like some of the movies that Olin has done.

Nelson, Alias is VERY good, and Lena's addition to the cast has made a good show great! The show has many very complex characters which makes it's so fascinating. Hope you get the chance to see it someday.

Glad you've enjoyed some of Lena's movies. She is so superbly talented. I've made a website about her if you should want to check it out.
