The Northman Is Violent Viking Revenge From The Witch Director

After solely two motion pictures, The Witch and The Lighthouse, director Robert Eggers has simply reached “We’ll see any movie he makes” standing. And with the primary trailer for his third movie, The Northman, he might have even eclipsed that to “We’ll overanalyze every frame of every bit of marketing until this movie hits theaters” standing.

The Northman stars Alexander Skarsgård as a Viking prince pressured into exile when his father, the okaying (Ethan Hawke), is murdered. He spends his life ready for the correct second to get revenge and, when he meets a crafty lady performed by Anya Taylor-Joy (who beforehand labored with Eggers on The Witch), the time is correct. There are large battles, larger feelings, and presumably some witchcraft and wizardry alongside the way in which, all captured with Eggers’ unmistakably bleak but lovely visible type. Check out the primary trailer for The Northman.

Come on—how unbelievable does that look? Not simply the story, which has massive Conan and Gladiator vibes, or the solid, which is stuffed with Oscar-caliber expertise together with Nicole Kidman, Björk, and Willem Dafoe, however simply the look of it. It’s very clear that Eggers has been given the largest palette of his life and he’s utilizing it to the complete extent of his powers.

Also among the many solid is everybody’s favourite style savior, Ralph Ineson, who labored with Eggers on The Witch. When we spoke to the actor earlier this yr, he expressed his pleasure over the undertaking. “Well, we shot in Belfast mostly all of [2020],” Ineson instructed io9. “I came in for just a few days towards the end of the movie. I play a Viking from Ukraine, a Rus’ Viking. I think it’s going to be really stunning. I saw a four-minute little segment that they put together whilst we were out there in Belfast and I kind of walked away with about 10 images burned into my mind. It’s absolutely stunning. Having Rob Eggers and [cinematographer] Jarin Blaschke working together—and Craig Lathrop, a [production] designer they work with—the three of them and the world they created, it’s absolutely immense because obviously, they’re working with hugely bigger budgets than when I worked with them first on The Witch. So, yeah, it’s absolutely stunning to see. And I can’t wait for people to see it. Alexander Skarsgård is amazing in the moments I’ve seen. It’s incredible.”

We can’t wait. The Northman might be out April 22, 2022.
