Robert Eggers Has Wrapped Production on His Viking Revenge Film ‘The Northman’
Based on the strength of both The Witch and The Lighthouse, the next movie from Robert Eggers has inherently become one of the most hotly anticipated genre movies on the radar, and what we know so far is that it’s a Viking revenge film titled The Northman. What else do we know? In the wake of COVID-related delays, production on the film has now wrapped.
Indiewire reported the news over the weekend, with the site also noting that the New Regency and Focus Features co-production will be released by Focus Features here in the States.
A release date, at this time, has not been set.
The known ensemble cast of The Northman includes Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke, Claes Bang, Kate Dickie, Bjork and Willem Dafoe.
The “Viking revenge saga” is said to be set in Iceland at the turn of the 10th century.
Eggers wrote the screenplay with Icelandic poet and novelist, Sjón.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
