“Fall of Gods”

[Gabe99]

{TB EXCLUSIVE} FOX CLOSING IN ON PREEMPTIVE DEAL FOR BREAKOUT NORSE FANTASY “FALL OF GODS”
Fox is nearing a bid for what could be the next hit franchise

“The gods have long ago vanished. In their place, two rivaling races now inhabit Midgard; humans and jotnar. Fifteen years ago, a coalition of chieftains drove the jotnar race from Midgard. Now, from each side of the border, humans and jotnar eye each other with hatred and suspicion. When his wife, the estranged daughter of one of Midgard’s most powerful chieftains, is mysteriously kidnapped, a retired warrior takes up the hatchet and sets out to rescue her. But he risks unleashing the wild demon buried deep within him and losing his soul in the process. His journey will bring him into conflict with terrible forces as a cynical plot is revealed and the dark mythological past of the North begins to awaken once more.”

The studio has picked up the rights to Fall of Gods, a crowdfunded illustrated novel from Denmark-based Mood Studios.

It sounds like a great idea but it also feels like a project that will be stuck in Development Hell.

 

[SuperFerret]

Sounds like a crappy fantasy novel that's best left on the shelf.

 

[Fallen Angel]

This actually sound's really good.

 

[Lencho01]

That art looks cool.

 

[Consona]

Huge potential imo, but depends on actual realization...

Imagine something like Valhalla Rising with this kind of things in it...

 

[Drz]

So FOX is doing a sequel to Thor: Ragnarök!

 

[Marvolo]

Well, Im interested!

 

[Eddie Dean]

Norse mythology rules.
