Anyone awaiting the release of the new movie " The Northman " movie ?

Actors include Alexander Skarsgard ( Prince Amleth ) , Nicole Kidman , Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, Anna Taylor-Joy , Bjork ( singer ) , Claes Bang , Bill Skarsgard and others .

Alexander Skarsgard was in the series with Nicole Kidman called Big Little Lies . He played the cheating abusive Husband. In this movie Nicole Kidman palys his Mother . From what I read the Director Robert Eggers teamed up with Sjon Sigurdsson , an Icelandic poet & novelist & screenwriter . He did alot of research and consulting with Viking historians . It is said that elements of the movie will remind one of Shakespeare's Hamlet which was inspired by an old Norse story called Saxo Grammaticus .

This one I plan to see at the theater on a big screen, however will wear ear plugs to tone down how loud they have the volume at the theater

movie synopsis
