First of all, if you haven’t watched the Viking revenge thriller The Northman, you’ve got to go see it! It’s easily one of the best films out in theaters right now and you need to see it on the big screen! It’s freakin’ great!
If you have seen it, I’ve got a video here for you to watch today that I’m sure you’ll appreciate. It features the film’s star Alexander Skarsgård and The Northman director Robert Eggers breaking down a scene in the film. That scene involves the return of Skarsgård’s character Amleth, as a full-fledged Viking warrior after fleeing as a young boy, and having witnessed his father being murdered by his uncle, his village massacred, and his mother taken.
The two talents break down the historical accuracy brought to the scene, and Skarsgård also highlights the hard work of the stunt performers in the film. Check it out!
