The Witch and The Lighthouse director Robert Eggers’ new nightmare The Northman has already snagged a killer cast including the likes of Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse) and Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch) with Nicole Kidman and Alexander and Bill Skarsgard.
But if you need another reason to add the film to your must-see list, today Oscar-nominated cinematographer Jarin Blaschke said that the film will be “dark and unusually violent.”

Specifically, Blaschke tells Screen Daily: “It’s a bigger movie than the others. I can say it’s a Viking revenge movie and we are shooting in Europe. It’s dark and unusually violent.”
Sounds good to me!

Written by Eggers with Icelandic poet and novelist, Sjon, The Northman is described as a Viking revenge saga set in Iceland at the turn of the 10th century. This film is being produced by Lars Knudsen who was also behind Eggers’ The Witch and Ari Aster’s Hereditary and Midsommar.
