I wish it were bigger but Danish film site BT have got the first shot of Mads Mikkelsen as the viking One Eye in Nicholas Winding Refn’s viking action epic Valhalla Rising.  Refn, of course, is the genius behind the Pusher films.  And Mikkelsen, of course, you know from Casino Royale, those very same Pusher films and thirty or so other slices of brilliant Danish film.  Most anticipated film of the next year?  This could be it.

For years, One-Eye, a mute warrior of supernatural strength, has been held prisoner by the chieftain Barde. Aided by a boy, Are, he kills his captor and together they escape, beginning a journey into the heart of darkness. On their flight from bounty hunters, One-Eye and Are board a Viking vessel for Norway, but the ship is soon engulfed by an endless fog that first disintegrates as they sight an unknown land.
