This is shooting in Oslo right now, amid freezing temperatures (-20 C / 68 F) and heavy snowfall. A couple of weeks ago it was +12 degrees Celsius (53 F) and dry as a summer, so lucky for them. Apparently, they are also going to film in Bergen, Rjukan and Notodden.

first few pages of this thread are pretty great, movie seems cool

Yeah don't let the synopsis fool you. There is some of the darkest stuff I've ever read in a thriller in this. It's also incredibly atmospheric. Really excited to see it.

There's also 3 or 4 meaty supporting roles that haven't been announced. Really curious to see who will join the project,

There's a charismatic media star in his late 40s that's just perfect for Robert Downey Jr, no way he'll do it though.

For Norwegian actors, Aksel Hennie, recently seen in The Martian, could be in it. He was terrific in another Nesbo adaptation (Headhunters).

And let me say the two leads (Fassbender/Ferguson) is genius casting. They're perfect

Coster-Waldau perhaps?
