The new film is set in Viking Britain, 871 AD and centres on a young Viking warrior, Steinar, who is sent by his father the King on a journey to find his estranged brother, who was banished from the kingdom years before. Steinar’s journey across hostile territory gradually sees him emerge as the man his father wants him to be – the ruthless and unforgiving successor to his throne.
Hammer of the Gods is directed by Farren Blackburn, who has previously helmed episodes of Doctor Who, from a script penned by Matthew Read, writer of the recently released film Pusher. Producer Rupert Preston (The Sweeney, Pusher) describes the upcoming film as "barbaric, stylish and heroic" in a way "that will entertain genre fans around the world".
The Viking adventure stars Charlie Bewley (The Twilight Saga), James Cosmo (Game of Thrones, Braveheart) and Clive Standen (Camelot, Robin Hood) and is due to hit cinemas in 2013.![]()
