Nikolaj Coster-Waldau will star in A Second Chance. Oscar winner Susanne Bier has cast the Game of Thrones actor in her new film, Digital Spy reveals citing Deadline.

There are currently few details about the film, but it will centre around the question of "how far... decent human beings [are] willing to go, when tragedy blurs the line between the just and unjust".

The Denmark-based film will reteam Bier with In a Better World scriptwriter Anders Thomas Jensen.

Bier has recently been filming her Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper-starring movie Serena.

Coster-Waldau will next be seen in Gods of Egypt and The Other Woman.

A Second Chance will be his first leading Danish role in over 10 years.
