Last month we mentioned that Magnolia Pictures had picked up two Norwegian films for distribution in the US. Now one of these films — the action adventure thriller Ragnarok — has a teaser trailer (below; in Norwegian with English subtitles).
Directed by Mikkel Brænne Sandemose from an original screenplay by John Kåre Raake, the film stars Pål Sverre Hagen as archeologist Sigurd Svendsen, who has for years been obsessed with the Oseberg Viking ship. The only inscription found on the ship is the enigmatic "man knows little" written in runes. Sigurd is sure that the Oseberg ship contains the answer to the mystery of Ragnarok, the end of days in Norse mythology. When his friend Allan finds similar runes on a stone from the north of Norway, Sigurd becomes convinced that the runes are in fact a treasure map. Together they mount an expedition group and their adventure leads to "No Man's Land" between Norway and Russia, which has been deserted for decades. Here Sigurd learns the true meaning of the runes — a secret more terrifying than he could possibly imagine.
No US release date has yet been announced for the film.
