Nobody knows [when it'll be out]. Chris is putting together the last missing bits as I write this. Mastering next. Release: ? – Cheers, P.
We will keep you posted once we know any details (or rumours).

As we informed 10 days ago – Per Gessle has written some new songs for Jonas Akerlund’s film called “Small Apartments”. Below you can see the very first trailer for this film – still being in production. 2005 song called “Kurt – the fastest plumber in the west” (homeage to Kurt Gessle, Per’s father) from Son Of A Plumber project is used in this 3-minute clip.
Thanks to Evgeny Perekopskiy for sending this through.
Per Gessle has just confirmed what we already suspected in November: that the soundtrack he was working on is indeed for “Small Apartments”, the new film by Jonas Åkerlund. Per has just written the following on Facebook:
Yes Box Alright! I’ve done the soundtrack, based on the Son of a Plumber vibe, for Jonas Åkerlund’s new movie “Small Apartments”. The music has been recorded at the AGM Studio and as expected the mighty Mr Lundquist & Mr Ofwerman have been the cornerstones. The film? Well, it’s a “dark comedy” (based on the S.A. novel) starring Matt Lucas, Billy Crystal, James Caan and Peter Stormare in the leading parts. And yes, it’s a wonderful movie. And yes, there will be a soundtrack. And yes, we have to release it on vinyl as well. I’m really proud to be part of this. Cheers, P. PS. Jonas is God.
So if we didn’t have enough with Tourism 2 (or 2rism or 2Rism or however it will be called) and the tour.. there is even more for our ears this year.
Per revealed that he has written and recorded a soundtrack album for a movie during this year. Could it be a new 2012 Jonas Åkerlund film called “Small Apartments” starring Dolph Lundgren, Billy Crystal or Peter Stormare? IMDB Small Apartments 2012.
We are only guessing, you know 
Update, December 2: Per Gessle’s comment seems to deny this rumour.
Wow, what a line-up! Wish it was true!
And Matt Lucas is in there! Hallelujah! And Jimmy Knoxville! And Billy Crystal! And james Caan! Jeezus, Jonas – how did you manage this?
Some unknown, at least to me, pictures which were taken on the set of “Kix” and “I want you to know” videos back in 1997. If you have more pictures from the set, please feel free to share these photographies with us.
