Final ‘Outlander’ Poster

Vic Holtreman — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 21:55:46 +0000

We’ve just received the final poster for the Vikings vs. Aliens movie: Outlander.

Interestingly there do not appear to be either Vikings nor Aliens in the poster below. There is however a giant floating head shot of Jim Caviezel hovering above Earth.

Quite appropriate for a guy who played Jesus Christ, I suppose.

I won’t go into the whole history of the film or its story, you can read our previous Outlander movie coverage for that.

Outlander is finally scheduled to open (limited) on January 23rd.

‘Outlander’ Movie: Exclusive New Image & Release News

Vic Holtreman — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:21:16 +0000

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 ...

Outlander Finally Gets A U.S. Theatrical Release Date

Back in August we told you about a funky genre film that was having trouble making it into U.S. theaters. It’s a movie that pits Vikings against aliens. Seriously.

Oh, but wait… it actually looks good (and by “good” I mean enjoy it for what it is, a pure cool concept action/sci-fi film, not an Oscar contender). What’s this little gem called?

Outlander

At the time there was some confusion as the DVD had been made available for pre-order on some website even though the film hadn’t been released yet. On the official Outlander blog the DVD screw up was addressed, but there was still no hint of a release date.

Fast forward to a few days ago, when rumors of a January 23, 2009 release date started surfacing. At first the word was that would be the date ...

Outlander Vikings vs Alien Flick NOT Direct to DVD?

Vic Holtreman — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 07:20:21 +0000

There’s a movie that hasn’t been getting a whole lot of buzz despite fitting into the sort of niche that we movie site guys love to talk about. All we’ve done is one Weekend Movie News Wrap-Up post where we showed you the poster for… Outlander.

What is Outlander about? As the title of this post says – it pits Vikings against a giant alien.

Seriously.

Tell me this description doesn’t make you want to go see it:

“As an age old battle rages amongst the stars, Kainan’s ship burns brightly as it crashes into the Nordic coast. As his space craft comes to rest in the fjords of ancient Norway, it’s with dismay that Kainan realizes that he wasn’t the only survivor. A second passenger, a Moorwen also emerges from the wreckage. A Fierce and animal-like creature, the Moorwen ...
