Detective Carl Mørck(Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is a burned out police detective reassigned to the the department Q to investigate old cold cases and his first been a dissapearence of a female politican. The original verdict was suicide however Mørck is not convinced and with the help of his assistant Assad (Fares Fares) the case takes them into the seedy underworld of abuse and malice.

No word on exactly when this will arrive in UK, Ireland or even USA for that matter, but below is the film's official trailer which comes with English subtitles, so something must be in the works already. The Keeper Of Lost Causes is due out in its native Denmark on 3rd October.

Synopsis

Following a shootout that left his two partners respectively dead and paralyzed, chief detective Carl Mørck is assigned to the newly established Department Q, a department for old, terminated cases. The department consists only of himself and his new assistant Assad. Although they get explicit orders to only read and sort through the cases, only a single day passes before Carl’s stubborn nature throws them headfirst into the mystery of Merete Lynggaard’s disappearance; a well-known female politician who vanished five years ago from a passenger ferry. The only witness is her brain-damaged brother who was found on the car deck, screaming at the top of his lungs. The case was put to rest as an apparent suicide. Unconvinced by this explanation Carl and Assad venture on a journey that will take them deep into the undercurrent of abuse and malice that lurks beneath the polished surface of Scandinavia.
