I fucking loved Bronson, and I’m pretty fond of vikings, too—so if you ask me, a viking epic directed by Bronson‘s Nicholas Winding Refn sounds pretty badass. FilmDrunk just posted a sneak preview for the film, describing the footage thusly:
The two-minute video contains pretty much all the things I like—beheadings, axe killings, disembowelings, shirtless prisoners choke-wrestling, and sharks 69-ing. Okay, maybe not that last one, but poetic license.
The footage is gruesome and weird and great—like Bronson, it definitely feels heavily influenced by Kubrick, but shit, as if that’s a bad thing.
Zoo UK has the trailer w/ a nice little intro from Refn hisself, too: http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/20…
@ScrumpyFU: Ha! That intro is fantastic. Thanks!
I think the soundtrack makes those two minutes even more disturbing. If that’s possible.
Holy mother of fuck. This is the Viking movie I’ve been waiting for my whole life.
That’s possibly the most violent two minutes of film ever.
