Valhalla Rising At Long Last!

Just when I was under threat of becoming somewhat LeChiffre'd out - news of a most up lifting sort dropped into my MM alert box today! Confirmation that Valhalla Rising is to begin shooting in August. Yeahhh!!

I have been desperately ferreting around for news of this project for almost 2 years - since the first whiff of a rumour wafted on to the net that Mads may once again be swinging his big sword about! I know it's really shallow of me, especially with regards to such an exceptional thesp as Mads, but I just can't help being thrilled at the prospect of seeing Mads all long-haired, silver whiskered and marauding around lopping off heads and limbs once again! Warriors are my weakness I'm afraid, from whatever time in history, I'm not fussy!

Again, he will be in collaboration with the fabulous Nicolas Winding Refn (He of the 'Pusher Trilogy' - for those of you who may not know) and it will be in the English language too, I believe.

Filming will take place in both Scotland & the US and they are apparently wanting to cast Scottish actors for the supporting roles - I guess that means Tony Curran is a dead cert then!!

Here's the link for the full report if you're interested....
