CSI Halsnøy is a Norwegian comedy film made in 2005. It was originally written as the first part of a trilogy, but several circumstances led to the production halt of the remaining films in 2007. It is currently unknown if or when production will resume.

Plot
The film follows two detectives (played by Even Sjo and Martin Bjørnevik) who during a double murder investegation, find traces of marijuana at both crime scenes. This leads them to a band of local gangsters (played by Rune Landa and Steffen Televik), who deny having anything to due with either killings. However, when the marijuana gets traced back to them, gunfights and hilarious chase scenes follows, as the two detective take up the hunt.

In the end, only one of each side if left standing and they face off. The detective however picks the short straw and is last seen being taken away in the trunk of a car, his fate unknown.

Production
The movie was filmed over the course of two months, from October to December in 2005. According to director Christian Bjørgen, a total of 50 minutes of footage was shot, which was edited down to a first draft of the film clocking in at 19 minutes. However, due to a mix-up which resulted in a the erasing of the original tapes, all the unused footage was lost, and the first draft was re-edited to become the final version.

Sequels and production halt
Already before the first film was done, writers Christian Bjørgen and Rune Landa began working on the sequel, where the story is set six months after the end of the first film. The script was according to the writers over twice as long as the first one.

However, in 2006, when the crew left for different jobs and schools, some of them lost contact with each other. A new attempt was made at making the second film in 2008, but several important members were unable to attend. Under unknown circumstances, two of the lead stars are no longer at speaking terms, making it very unlikely that the sequel will be made anytime soon.

In april 2009, producer Christian Bjørgen confirmed that the script for both the second and third film are done, and that they are hoping to shoot the second film this summer.

Plot
The second film takes place six months after the ending of the first film. Martin is still looking for Even, who was last seen being sped away in the trunk of a car. He finally locates him, being held hostage in a dock office by members of Rune's crew. Through flashback, we learn that Even was taken to the dock after being defeated by Rune, where was tortured for information until rescued by his partner. The two then embark on a hunt to locate Rune, and get their revenge.

The third film is a direct continuance to the second one, and the writers have confirmed that all the major stars from the first two films appear in the final part. The film's title is currently unknown.
