The film, which takes place in 10th-century Iceland, is “an epic revenge thriller that explores how far a Viking prince will go to seek justice for his murdered father,” according to Focus’ official description. Production first began in Northern Ireland in March 2020 before being postponed to August of that year due to the pandemic.
Eggers, who co-wrote the script alongside Icelandic poet and novelist Sjón, worked with cinematographer Jarin Blaschke and editor Louise Ford on the feature. Producers include Lars Knudsen, Mark Huffam and New Regency.
