arthouse Conan The Barbarian?

Hopefully a lot grittier and bloodier.

“We had kind of an expensive, arty—but commercial—but arty, but commercial, like, Viking movie. . . . Now everyone is kind of, like, ‘If this isn’t “Gladiator” or “Braveheart,” we’re fucked.’ And the thing is: it isn’t,” Eggers said. “It has aspects of that, for sure. But my best intention of doing ‘Gladiator’ or ‘Braveheart’ is still . . .” He let the sentence hang. “Weirder.”

I predict an excellent first five minutes, over an hour of bullshit, and then 20 minutes of cum blasting climax.

I am 100% fine with arthouse well shot films vs bright cgi garbage. its a nice change form 99% of other films.

sure beats Michael bays upcoming "ambulance" film with zero actual film making style to it. sorry not none, just no good filmmaking style

Perhaps, but the story is drawn from a Viking Age legend, of which there is more than one written version (like the Icelandic sagas, these were written down later, during the Middle Ages). Like most such stories, they are tragic, and Amleth dies at the end. I wonder if that will not happen here. In fact I rather suspect that shot of the Valkyrie from the trailer is her coming to collect Amleth's soul and bear him to Valhalla at the end. I should find out whether I'm right or not next week.
