Northman

Eggers, who also directed the actor in “The Northman” and “The Lighthouse,” believes so.

Two more films followed, with 2019’s seafaring tale “The Lighthouse” and the epic 2022 Viking fable “The Northman” revealing new strengths in writing and directing that hadn’t been immediately visible in Eggers’ debut.

Robert Eggers makes his most ambitious film yet with Viking saga ‘The Northman,’ combining historical accuracy with a fantasy mysticism.

The trailer opens with flashes of each character and even a short glance at one of the Northmen at the Wall — someone who looks awfully a lot like Jon Snow . . . a potential ancestor maybe?

A long-cherished dream project for its director, Robert Eggers, this horror remake had to sit tight while the “Witch” filmmaker took on both “The Lighthouse” and “The Northman.”
