Eggers will also be reuniting with the stars of his two previous films for The Northman. The Witch’s Anya Taylor-Joy and The Lighthouse’s Willem Dafoe have been cast in the film, in addition to Ethan Hawke, Nicole Kidman, Björk, Claes Bang, Murray McArthur, Ian Gerard Whyte, Kate Dickie, Hafpór Júlíus Björnsson, and Ralph Ineson. For Björk, The Northman marks her first film since Lars von Trier’s 2000 film Dancer in the Dark.

I’m not a huge Robert Eggers fan hates the VVitch and thought the Lighthouse was like watching an insanely long fever dream.

But I love shite about Vikings so I will see this

This is actually a movie I can get behind. It's original, historical, and doesn't seem to be driven by an agenda like The Last Duel was.

Which is basically hamlet.

So Viking Hamlet… who was a Dane… so just Hamlet set in an earlier era.

All true.

But much cooler to say The Viking Lion King

Yep. These two movies look totally similar in tone, style and content. You nailed it. We can totally tell you saw The Last Duel.



I'm in for anything from Eggers at this point. I know he and his brother have been working on the Northman screenplay since before he made The Lighthouse. My only slight hesitation is Skarsgard, whom I always find flat.

The trailer actually gives me Valhalla Rising vibes. If Eggers has created something similar in feel but with a more compelling narrative, that'll be pretty cool. I also know that assuming I know what to expect from one of his movies is pure folly.

He plays Eric Northman in True Blood.

So maybe it's an origin story.

Looks good, but I had to turn on the captions to see wtf he's saying. "Fueller?" What?

And the hot alien chick is in it, so I'll watch.

I really like Skarsgard. Hopefully he is good in this and will get more descent roles.
