Outlander

[Faille]

Outlander (2007)

More Viking ownage on the way.
Can never have too much Vikings imo.

[Dethfang]

Every time I see the word "outlander" I can't help but think of South Park... hopefully Cartman will be in this "Outlander! OUTLANDER! We have your woman!"

[Nebuchadnezzar]

10% chance it will be watchable, 90% chance it will suck

[ziggyholiday]

It does have Ron Pearlman.....but......fusing alien tech with Iron age weapons......wow.

[Castigator]

... so we'll get bearded man with lightsaber-axes and hover-longboats?

[Mythas]

Careful castigator this movie will probably have men as lead roles and they will probably be muscular so you should probably be worried about it turning you gay

Lol, maybe.

For the most part Vikings tended to wear clothes...



... and have continued to do so in earlier Hollywood incarnations.




But if Hollywood turns this into a raunchy naked-man get-together like 300, I'm gonna have to start suspecting a conspiracy

[Schezanna]

Dak is Hollywood?

I thought this thread was about this movie: Outland.

I thought this thread was about a remake of said movie.

But alas... it's about Vikings with Lasers

[Rathgar]

Seeing Jesus with a "Viking" helmet and laser guns ought to be entertaining.

Seems to me to be some sort of fusion of the epic etta (or whatever epic the story of beowulf comes from) with lasers pew pew. Could be interesting, will likely suck.

If seeing men nearly nude (no dongs or balls flopping about, no hot man on man oil rubbing or what have you) causes you discomfort, you're either a.) a closet case, b.) conscious or unconscious jealousy/intimidation/low self-esteem/other factor. That may sound like stupid pop-cultural analyses, but there's a surprising amount of biological and psychological basis for it.

Fuck, I can look at brad pitt from snatch or fight club, or the dudes in 300, and realize that they're aesthetically quite pleasing without any attraction or arousal. Most guys are capable of doing so, though they won't admit it cause of "teh ghey".

Do you feel uncomfortable at a beach surrounded by many people, unattractive, without their shirts on? If so, why, if not, why not, what differentiates that from this other than the ones on screen are aesthetically pleasing (read: attractive to those who swing that way),

ppst... vikings, unlike greek hoplites, actually did often go into battle naked.

Yeah, I know, you've probably just been raised in a way that has ingrained "woah dude, pseudo-peener this is GAY!" but still.

Sounds like you're a closet case trying to justify that boner 300 gave you.

Trailer was released today.

Outlander - A Sci-Fi Viking Epic

[spronk]

lol

"Unashamedly crowd-pleasing is Howard McCain's epic science-fiction/fantasy OUTLANDER, the final film seen in Cannes. Jim Caviezel is an intergalactic astronaut who crashes his spaceship in 700 A.D. Norway and unleashes a giant alien creature on the local Viking population. Big, glossy and hugely enjoyable, it comingles fun adventure cliches with wildly unhistoric abandon, all acted with solid conviction by Caviezel, John Hurt, Perlman and Sophia Myles. There's gore aplenty, the thrills are nonstop and the neon-etched CGI monster is pretty damn good too."

sounds awesome, although the dragon from the trailer looked hilarious. Too bad Dragon Wars beat them in the cheesy-dragon genre.

You know a movie is good when its world premier is in Latvia
