The Northman

This video speculates that the valkyrie has carved teeth as intimidation tactic.

Everyone should watch Vinland Saga to get themselves ready for this movie.

As alternative - read The Long Ships by Frans G. Bengtsson.

I'm assuming from 1:30 on is part of the film score? Sounds so damn good.

Willem Defoe is taking method acting a bit far.

This is coming sooner than I thought. For some reason I had it in my head that this was a Fall release.

This is coming sooner than I thought. For some reason I had it in my head that this was a Fall release.

Between this, The Batman, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and After Yang... and it's gonna be a crazy spring.

New Images From The Northman Show Ethan Hawke And Willem Dafoe In Full Viking Regalia

"When I first thought, 'I want to make a Viking movie,' I knew three things. I knew it needs to take place mostly in Iceland, it needs to have a revenge story, and it needs to have a naked swordfight on a volcano..."

 

[Deck Rickard]

I hope this means a new trailer is coming soon. I don’t know that we actually need one but I just want to see more of this movie ASAP.

He'll be sure this time that we're fond of his lobster.

I've said it before, but I'd watch a movie about grass growing if Robert Eggers directed it.

Alexander Skarsgård on Intense ‘Northman’ Shoot: Four-Minute Takes, ‘100-Percent Perfect’ Period Detail

“He absolutely is [a perfectionist]. But he’s also a genius,” Skarsgård said. “‘The Northman’ was the first time I worked on something that was so meticulously stylized, and you almost had to see it as a dance between the camera and the actors, because the camera was constantly moving, and so were we. If the timing was slightly off, then we’d have to go again. I’ve never been more tired than after those six months.”

Per Skarsgård, the film includes “long, intense fight scenes with 40 stuntmen and horses and 200 extras,” captured by the “Lighthouse” and “Witch” director’s usually meticulous precision.

“To shoot it all in one shot means you do this four-minute take, and then a horse deep in the background looks the wrong way and you have to do it all again,” Skarsgård said. “You’re so exhausted that you want to cry. You feel like you finally got all the choreography of the fight worked out, but then you have to go again and again and again. There’s always something in the background that wasn’t quite right. The flip side of that is when you finally get it, it feels like winning gold at the Olympics

Skarsgård explained that “The Northman” fulfills his dream of telling a Viking story, and that Eggers’ vision made sure that “every single detail has to be 100-percent perfect,” including historical accuracy on “every single stitch on a tunic.”

The “Big Little Lies” alum read the “Northman” script once a day before shooting to fully embody the “headspace” of his character.

“I discover new things with each read. I come up with a thousand different ideas and then I eliminate them,” Skarsgård said. “Once we get into production, it’s about finding that sweet spot between being prepared but also open to whatever happens when you meet the other actors. It’s being alive and playful and open to discovering things in front of the camera. If I’m not prepared at all, it makes me nervous.

He added, “The most rewarding days were when I came prepared with a vague idea of how I wanted to play the scene, but I was still open enough to be surprised. And together with the director and the other actors, we discovered something that wasn’t planned and was surprising and exciting for all of us…Everything is meticulously planned. It’s mostly one single camera, one shot.”
