The gates of cinematic Valhalla at the moment are open — assuming you’ve got Peacock.
That’s the place The Northman, Robert Eggers’ newest historic fantasy movie, is on streaming. The premise is form of a Viking’s model of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, with Alexander Skarsgard starring as a prince whose father is murdered by his uncle (Claes Bang). Years later, Skarsgard returns to his homeland, swearing revenge in opposition to his scheming relative, who has now married his mom, performed by Nicole Kidman.
Eggers is the man who made the unimaginable colonial horror movie The Witch in 2015, after which directed The Lighthouse with Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson just a few years in the past. The Northman is his largest manufacturing to this point — it reportedly value some $70 million — and it appears to be like sensational, with beautiful places, unimaginable (and extremely violent) motion scenes, and detailed units and costumes that seem like they might be from some thousand-year-old civilization.
The movie was not a success in theaters, incomes simply $67 million worldwide. However when you missed it — and apparently quite a lot of you probably did judging from these grosses — now you’ve got a second likelihood on Peacock. Right here is the movie’s trailer:
Eggers’ motion pictures have this unimaginable authenticity, although all of them even have these creepy and surreal supernatural components. They at all times make me really feel like I’m watching some form of fantasy or nightmare from somebody who lived in no matter interval they’re set in. And The Northman completely continues in that custom, with all these stunning recreations of Viking villages mixing with photographs of their goals and concepts concerning the afterlife.
Right here is the movie’s official synopsis:
From visionary director Robert Eggers comes THE NORTHMAN, an action-filled epic that follows a younger Viking prince on his quest to avenge his father’s homicide. With an all-star solid that features Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Pleasure, Ethan Hawke, Björk, and Willem Dafoe.
The Northman is streaming now on Peacock.
