Total Film released a new exclusive image from The Northman courtesy of Focus Features which gives us a new look at Alexander Skarsgård's Prince Amleth as he makes his charge into battle. The film is director Robert Eggers' latest period piece following The Witch and The Lighthouse, only on a grander, grittier scale that takes its cues from Scandinavian legends.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Eggers wrote the film with the help of Icelandic poet, author, lyricist Sjón, basing the film on Saxo Grammaticus' original tale of Amleth. The film sees Skarsgård's Amleth hungry for vengeance after witnessing the death of his father at the hands of his uncle Fjölnir. Fjölnir also kidnaps Amleth's mother, leading the young prince on a warpath to right the wrongs committed by his uncle by ending his life.
