MOVIE NEWS – Exceptionally, it is not the epidemic that has delayed the release of the Viking epic The Northman, but the sheer number of locations and costumes that have caused the extraordinary complications.

Just reading the names of the cast will bring a tear to the eye of any film fan: Anya Taylor-Joy (now in cinemas with Last Night in Soho), Kate Dickie, Willem Dafoe, as well as Björk, Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman and Ethan Hawke. Considered one of the most promising of the young American directorial generation, Eggers was keen to play it safe, having starred in Taylor-Joy and Dickie’s The Witch mystery thriller, and worked with Defoe on The Lighthouse, all of whom he did well together.

All that is known about the plot of The Northman is that a Viking prince seeks revenge on his father’s murderers, according to Cinema Blend. Knowing Eggers, you can expect an extraordinary cinematic experience, the director already has a serious cult following.
