Focus Features unveils the official The Northman trailer revealing the first look at the epic historical thriller from The Lighthouse’s Robert Eggers. Directed by Eggers on a script he co-wrote with Icelandic poet and novelist Sjón, the film centers on Viking prince Amleth in 10th century Iceland as he watches his father murdered and goes on the run from his assassins. Grown up and hungry for vengeance, Amleth sets out on a blood-soaked path to murder the men responsible for his family’s demise.

Alexander Skarsgård leads the ensemble cast of The Northman alongside Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, Björk, Ralph Ineson, Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe. Development on the Viking thriller was first announced in late 2019, just prior to the release of Eggers’ acclaimed psychological horror pic The Lighthouse, with Focus Features landing the rights to the project and filming having been eyed for a March 2020 start in Northern Ireland. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, The Northman wouldn’t begin production until August of that year and would officially wrap in December.

With just a few months remaining until the film’s release, Focus Features has released The Northman trailer. The video offers the first look at Robert Eggers’ star-studded historical thriller about a Viking prince embarking on a quest for vengeance for his father’s murder.

The first The Northman trailer offers an exciting look at the scope and scale of Eggers’ Viking saga, namely as it appears to be his biggest production to date. The independent filmmaker has rose to stardom over the past five years for his work in the horror genre with The Witch and The Lighthouse, both of which utilized their period settings to full effect with their era-accurate dialogue as much as their isolated production design and costumes. The Northman certainly looks to be following in his past footsteps while also expanding his location and cast rosters to some jaw-dropping effects.

Fans of Eggers’ work thus far certainly have a lot to look forward to in The Northman, namely as the filmmaker is reuniting with both The Witch stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Ralph Ineson as well as The Lighthouse’s Willem Dafoe, the former of whom saw their period horror launch them to stardom while the latter saw many outcry a snubbed performance come awards season. Eggers’ Viking saga also marks his first project to be released by a major studio, with his first two efforts released by the indie powerhouse studio A24 while the new project hails from Universal Pictures and Focus Features. Audiences won’t have to wait much longer for the film’s arrival as The Northman is set to hit theaters on April 22, 2022.
