Johan Widerberg after five days of working together with Tuva Novotny:
It's not often that it works this well with someone this fast, Johan Widerberg says about working with Tuva Novotny, five days after they've gotten to know each other.
   On Monday the shooting stars for SVT Drama's new big venture ”Herr von Hancken” where Tuva and Johan play the lead roles in love.
   Per Oscarsson, Mona Malm, Stefan Sauk and Alexandra Rapaport are other treasures in the cast of SVT's big venture for the coming TV season. The production of ”Herr von Hancken” is based on Hjalmar Bergman's novel with the same name and will be shown in three one-hour long programs.
   Filming starts on Monday and will take place during the summer, mainly in and around Stockholm.
   – It's like a gift from heaven to be a part of this, tells Tuva Novotny, who's become known to the Swedish people with the soap opera Skilda världar. To Johan Widerberg the role in Herr von Hancken also stands out as a big opportunity for a comeback. He has been absent from the big screen since Colin Nutley's Under the Sun, winter-98/-99.
   – If I didn't have performance anxiety before, I have it now, Johan says. But judging from the role he plays he's probably headed for success. Johan has melted TV and film audiences before, including film critics, by playing in love .
   – I fall helplessly and hopelessly in love with Nora whoTuva plays, he tells.
   ”Herr von Hancken” is scheduled to be shown on SVT in the winter of 2001.
