Directed by Robert Eggers, The Northman is the epic historical action drama film based on the legend of Amleth. Thanks to Universal Pictures, we were given the privilege of attending an early screening of The Northman. The film is in cinemas now! Prince Amleth is on the verge of becoming a man when his father (Ethan Hawke) is brutally murdered by his uncle (Claes Bang), who kidnaps the boy’s mother (Nicole Kidman). Two decades later, Amleth (Alexander Skarsgard) is now a Viking who's on a mission to save his mother, kill his uncle, and avenge his father.
