Here's what looks to be a cool movie that's been slowly crawling and scraping its way towards release literally for years, now. You may have heard of it (since we've mentioned it here before) - it's called Outlander and it has the sweet little concept of pitting Vikings against aliens.
You're looking at an exclusive new pic from the movie above, which shows a monster (called a MOORWEN in the film) assaulting a Viking village. A priest has stepped forward in a what will soon be a strikingly unsuccessful attempt to stop it. The light comes from the creature itself, which is bioluminescent. (Thanks to writer/executive producer of the film, Dirk Blackman)
We posted a few weeks ago that Outlander was finally getting a theatrical U.S. release date and we have an update for you. It's going to have a limited release on January 23rd in the following cities:
- San Francisco, CA
- Chicago, IL
- Philadelphia, PA
- Washington D.C.
- Dallas, TX
- Atlanta, GA
- Boston, MA
- Houston, TX
- Seattle, WA
- Miami, FL
- San Diego, CA
- Detroit, MI
- Sacramento, CA
- Orlando, FL
- Tampa, FL
The hope is that it will get a wider distribution, but there's no guarantee of that since the distributor, The Weinstein Co. is strapped for cash.
As a bonus, here are some more stills from the film:
Yes, that's really James Caviezel
The lovely Sophia Miles
Jack Huston as the hero for the younger demographic
Even the great John Hurt is in Outlander
You've got your Viking ships...
and your alien ships... SWEET!
If this movie doesn't end up getting a wide distribution at the very least I'll be picking up a copy on DVD or preferably, Blu-ray. :-)
