The Danish comedian Anders Matthesen has had big success with both his book and, not least, the film version of the story of a Plaid Ninja.
the Film has sold more than 900.000 cinema tickets, since it was premiered in december, and is therefore one of the most watched Danish movie in history.
But if you are a fan of Matthesens universe in the ‘Checkered Ninja’, then there is good news for you. The 43-year-old comedian is in fact not at all finished with the checkered ninjadukke and his good friend Ash.
the Comedian has just now put the finishing touches on the book ‘Checkered Ninja 2’, which will be published in June and may also be filmed in the near future.
It reveals Anders Matthesen in a video on his Instagram profile.

For Extra Magazine, says Anders Matthesen, that he is happy and satisfied with the ‘Checkered Ninja 2’, and that he is looking forward to present it to the danes.
– It is wonderful and really nice. I have been in the time with the book long before the movie came. I started last year, so it has been a long time coming, because all of a sudden I got busy with my show and how to some things. And if one should do such a thing, then you must do it properly. Now it’s here, at least soon. The 26 chapters in the first, and I’m really happy with the sound from a smiling Matthesen.

According to the seasoned comedian is missing the book only to be proofread and printed, and it will therefore already be on the street in the month of June.
– If I am in the night dreaming that there is something that just needs to, then I can still just reach it, but otherwise it is ready and in stores in June, says Matthesen.
Anders Matthesen says, that the danes in the new book can expect a reunion with the checkered ninjadukke as well as Ash and his family.
– The new book is very different than the first. I will not copy-paste. The first book moves in youth, childhood and the primary school, and the new book is more ‘on the road’. We should be out in the world, and there is a krimielement. But the family is still there. So you could say that the ‘Plaid Ninja’ occurs in a new version, but I think it is fully on a par with the first book. It is a really good book, if I do say so myself, he says.

And so, I would like to stress that it’s not just to milk the success of the film, I come with the new book. The book I was beginning, already before we started on the film. It is a book that I also write for the children who have been happy for the first. They deserve a continuation. I have simply not been able to stand for, I’ve gotten emails from parents telling that their children have been happy for the book, and that they have not opened a book, before they read ‘Checkered Ninja’, so of course they must have a to, say Matthesen with a smile.

According to the Anders Matthesen intends that the new book will form the basis for another film about the checkered ninjadukke. He has also already received economic support for that the dream can become a reality.
– I have plans to translate the book into a screenplay, and we’ve got aid to the artists who can start to get bids. So I plan to develop a manuscript, for it seems that there is a demand on another movie, says the comedian, who is overwhelmed with the success the first film has received:
the Film, the whiz completely crazy off. It is located on the number five most watched movie in Denmark ever. It is mega fat. It is the game. It is much of what makes that I keep on trying and also strive to make a two’is,” he concludes.
