“I came across Amleth, which inspired Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and realized this is perfect,” Eggers told Cinemablend. Its inspiration - the legend of Amleth - is over 1,000 years old.
But for its massive budget, state-of-the-art special effects, and the casting of some of today’s most talented actors, it may come as a surprise that the plot of The Northman is nothing new. In Robert Eggers’ new film The Northman, Skarsgård dons his wolfskin and teams up with Anya Taylor-Joy, Willem Dafoe, Nicole Kidman, and Ethan Hawke to create a $90 million Viking saga of epic proportions. At 6 feet 4 inches tall, Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård’s towering figure makes for a perfect on-screen Viking berserker.
