If violent Vikings, revenge fuelled plots and an A-List cast appeal to your film tastes, then there is a new reason to visit cinemas.
On Good Friday (April 15), a new historical drama was released called The Northman. It stars Alexander Skarsgård as a Viking prince on a quest to avenge the death of his father, the King, and at the hands of his uncle.
“I will avenge you, father. I will save you, mother. I will kill you, Fjölnir,” states Skarsgård’s character Amleth in the trailer for the new film. The character of Amleth (from medieval Scandinavian legend) is widely believed to be the inspiration for William Shakespeare’s character Hamlet.
