The Northman

New 'The Northman' Character Posters Spotlight Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Björk and More: Hitting theaters on April 22.

The Northman will hit theaters on April 22, 2022. Producers include Lars Knudsen, Mark Huffam and New Regency. The film, which takes place in 10th-century Iceland, is “an epic revenge thriller that explores how far a Viking prince will go to seek justice for his murdered father,” according to Focus’ official description.

Ahead of the release of Robert Eggers' The Northman, we ask why Vikings have never seemed to make that big of a dent in Hollywood.

Originally based on a Michael Crichton book, the writer was brought in to do reshoots in an attempt to get the film working. “After my small role in The 13th Warrior, I said to myself, 'Let us stop this nonsense, these meal tickets that we do because it pays well.' I thought, 'Unless I find a stupendous film that I love and that makes me want to leave home to do, I will stop.' Bad pictures are very humiliating, I was really sick. “The 13th Warrior” will go down in history as one of the biggest box-office bombs of all time. Critics enjoyed it, but it barely made a dent on audiences, unlike Winding Refn’s next film, the massively successful and contemporary-set “Drive”. Speaking to the New Yorker, Eggers said of the film: “We had kind of an expensive, arty - but commercial - but arty, but commercial, like, Viking movie… Following Amleth (the Nordic Hamlet), Eggers’ tale has the $90 million budget of a Gladiator rival.

It’s a crying shame that THE NORTHMAN has been so criminally mishandled because it’s precisely what blockbuster cinema should aspire to, and still has the potential to be. It's formally daring, brutal, neck-choppingly viscious, visceral, slathered in blood, dunked in lava, and boasts all of the intrigue of a Jacobean epic — all while remaining an accessible affair. A Viking revenge story with many a devilish twist, The Northman is fresh, challenging, engaging, and stunningly rendered. Less than a week after the release of Morbius, a dismal testament to the present state of Hollywood filmmaking, comes the premiere of a shining studio feature markedly antithetical to said current default.

Alexander Skarsgård's characters in The Northman and True Blood share a few key similarities - could Robert Eggers' film be a prequel to the show?

However, the similarities between The Northman and True Blood appear to be entirely coincidental.
