At last are they are going to make a Swedish produced film on one of my favorite books: Röde Orm – The Long Ships written by the swedish authour Frans G. Bengtsson.
The news was released yesterday at the Cannes Filmfestival. There will be 2 films and a tv-serie out of the about $30 million dollar budget and they plan to start filming in 2013 for release in 2014 and 2015...can´t wait:)

Sounds interesting.... is this the book that Hollywood used when they did that film called The Longships with Kirk Douglas?
ReplyDeleteIf so, I think that the Swedes will do it much more justice :O)

ReplyDeleteSeriously though, I think the Swedes will do a much better job than Hollywood could ever manage.
