Mads is shooting a new movie!
Mads is playing one of the leads in the upcoming, Danish movie "Flammen og Citronen". See this clip from Danish National TV, with scenes from set and an interview with the director and Mads. In the end of the clip Mads says, "We actually only have one photo of the guy I am playing in the movie" (Mads plays a nazi in occupied Denmark during WWII). The director corrects him saying, "We actually have several", leaving Mads puzzled: "I didn't know that". A cool little clip. [It is in Danish].

I think it is a mistake that it says, that Mads is playing a Nazi. He is actually playing one of the most famous Danish resistance figthers (especially known for killing Nazi's and collaborators!)
This person was known as "Citronen" (the Lemon/Citron) due to the fact that he used to work at the Citröen factories in Copenhagen. He was also involved in the sabotage of this factory.
Late in the war "The Lemon" and his resistance partner "The Flame" (named for his flaming red hair) had disquised them selves as Danish policemen but unfortunately this was the same day that the Nazi's in Denmark decided to round up all the police and intern them in consentration camps. (Some argue that The Flame and The Lemon actually was not together this day but it was The Lemon and another resistance fighter... but I believe that the movie takes a little artistic freedom in this case)
They actually managed to escape but The Lemon was wounded. Some weeks later the Nazi's found The Lemon at a safe-house and a ferrosious firefight broke out. The Lemon managed to kill 5 Nazi's and wounding some 20 before he was killed in the garden.
I, for one, will be looking forward to watching this movie.
