Director Claudio Fäh‘s upcoming period epic, Northmen: A Viking Saga is still on track for an October premiere in Germany, with its newest poster now making the rounds within the last twenty-four hours. More dates are still pending, but the newest international trailer has also gone viral, with all the trimmings of what looks to be a spectacular flick.
SYNOPSIS:
In the 9th century a group of Vikings, commanded by captain Asbjörn, is approaching Britain, aiming to plunder the rich monasteries in the north of the island. But their ship gets caught in a storm and is smashed to pieces on the rocks off the coast of Scotland, the only part of Britain without any Viking settlements. When Inghean, daughter of the Scottish King Dunchaid, by chance falls into Viking hands, they see the opportunity for demanding a large ransom. King Dunchaid immediately sets his “wolfpack” – a group of mercenaries well known for their savagery – on them. The Northmen with their hostage now have to force their way through the rough highlands, where they meet the brave and mysterious Christian monk Conall. Having the wolfpack close on their heels, a desperate race against time begins. A battle over life and death…
Tom Hopper, Ryan Kwanten, Charlie Murphy, Ken Duken, James Norton, Darrell d’Silva, Ed Skrein, Anatole Taubman, Leo Gregory and Mark Strepan round out the cast. Check out the trailer below!
