If you took a quick look at this poster for Hammer of the Gods you’d probably think it was for 300, which it is clearly trying to recall. There’s nothing wrong with that because there are LOTS of fans of the blood-and-dirt sword and sandal action films like 300 and Immortals. And frankly, there aren’t enough Viking movies out there. Magnet Releasing acquired this movie for distribution last month for an early 2013 VOD release. It stars Charley Bewley (Twilight Saga) and Clive Standen (star of next year’s Vikings TV series). Check out the plot description and trailer below, and let us know what you think!
Set in Viking Britain in 871 AD, Hammer of the Gods is a visceral, intense tale set in a world whose only language is violence. A young Viking warrior, Steinar (Charlie Bewley), is sent by his father the king on a quest to find his estranged brother, who was banished from the kingdom many years before. Steinar’s epic journey across terrifyingly hostile territory gradually sees him emerge as the man his father wants him to be – the ruthless and unforgiving successor to his throne.
