A new trailer for Mikkel Sandemose’s Norwegian action adventure Ragnarok, starring Pål Sverre Hagen, Nicolai Cleve Broch, Bjørn Sundquist and Sofia Helin, is online. You can watch it in the player below. You can also check out the poster for the film in the gallery viewer at the bottom of this page.
In the film, archeologist Sigurd Svendsen (Pål Sverre Hagen) 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.
Ragnarok gets a domestic release August 15 from Magnolia Pictures. Look for it in theaters and on iTunes!
