The Northman

[OutOfBoose]

Didn't expect this to be so action-packed. But maybe it's just the trailer.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

Hells yeahhh.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Rewatched the trailer a few more times. It almost feels like Conan the Barbarian '82.

Costume work looks good. Authentic for the viking era as far as I can see. Viking series looked really off-putting in that regard.

 

[Kane52630]

Knowing Eggers, there most likely will be.

Yeah there's shots in here that felt 100% Eggers.

Like this

 

[OutOfBoose]

Modern stylized portrayal of a mythical dame (witch, mermaid, shield maiden/valkyrie) became a staple of his work for sure.

 

[Arachnerd]

Just noticed she has braces. Huh.

 

[DarkKnight88]

According to good old Wiki…

According to scholars and historians, braces date back to ancient times. Around 400-300 BC, Hippocrates and Aristotle contemplated ways to straighten teeth and fix various dental conditions. Archaeologists have discovered numerous mummified ancient individuals with what appear to be metal bands wrapped around their teeth.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

What an outstanding trailer...

 

[OutOfBoose]

Dentistry didn't advance in my area since 10th century.

Just noticed she has braces. Huh.

Are those braces or something is painted on her teeth? Encode on YT is ****, it's hard to tell.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Looks ok, not one I'd rush to the cinema for.

 

[Marvolo]

Just noticed she has braces. Huh.

If those braces are the actress' actual braces they might be painted out in the release version. If not then I guess Asgard has a good dental plan.

 

[Still Wynning]

This is probably the first time in a long while that Alexander Skarsgård’s acting has looked good to me. Usually I find him pretty meh. Everything else looks great too.

Holy.

F***ing.

S**t.

Sign me the f*** up for this.

 

[TheVileOne]

This is one of my most anticipated films of the year. We need more movies like this.

 

[scarlet-witch]

Really excited for this.

And the shallow part of me is happy that we're making Alexander Skarsgard hot again after he's been playing so many a-holes lately.

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

I still want his Nosferatu! Hope it’s next

 

[Enriquespy]

Look great.
Now imagine if Eggers had directed Tarzan, he really made Alex look like not the mildest dude ever.

 

[Deck Rickard]

I can just imagine bored high school students studying Hamlet watching this trailer and being like, “Why can’t we learn THIS version instead?”

 

[OutOfBoose]

2:1 aspect ratio.

 

[TheVileOne]

When is the last time we had a pure Viking movie like this?

 

[Deck Rickard]

Pathfinder?

 

[TheVileOne]

Pathfinder?

Well, let's just say we were overdue for one.

Also, look at the cast for this. Top to bottom amazing.

 

[OutOfBoose]

The last viking movie I enjoyed was 13th Warrior. It's quite surprising how barren movie landscape when it comes to vikings. Maybe it's precisely because 13th Warrior bombed so hard.

There could be others, but I'm blanking on like major Hollywood films about vikings.

Also, if you want a great anime about vikings, check out Vinland Saga.

 

[dark_b]

the movie looks very good.

If you asked me to describe how a Mel Gibsons viking movie would look and feel i would say like Northman. I get some apocalypto vibes.

 

[Mani-Man]

Looking pretty freaking good.

Isnt there a Hamlet movie in the making with Denzel Washington or so?
