She has the voice of Gudrun in the new movie “Knutsen & Ludvigsen”, recorded just a few months before she passed away in August last year.
– The recordings with Anne Grete were made in March last year, that is, a few months before her death, says producer Eric Vogel at Tordenfilm.
– No one noticed anything about her then, nor suspected that she was ill. We were just as shocked and saddened as everyone else when he died. We left the recording with her for a while, to consider what we should do with her, says Vogel.
Anne Grete Preus died after a period of illness on August 25 last year, at just 62 years old.

“Knutsen & Ludvigsen 2 – The Great Beast” has its premiere in Norway on September 25, but it already had a preview in Trondheim last weekend and in Oslo on Saturday. The main villain of the film is called Gudrun, and that is why Anne Grete Preus lends her voice to this character.
– The recordings were a complete session where we went through the script. Usually we re-assimilate the characters after editing the script, but we can’t do it with Anne Grete. Still, when we listen through the recordings, we quickly find that this holds, we have the rating! he tells Vogel.

The discomfort became a wake-up call
– It was also Rune Spaans who in her youth heard Anne Grete make her first voice in an animated film like Ursula in “The Little Mermaid”. He was deeply fascinated and remembered it well, even though it was more than thirty years ago. So why hasn’t he done more? was the question everyone asked after Preus finished in the studio.
– She had really gotten into the script and was very prepared and motivated. She took it easy and played the role: she put in a song and something of her own that wasn’t in the script, says a satisfied producer.
