One of the oldest end of world stories out there is that of Ragnarok and it’s getting a new nod in late 2013 in Norway with the release of Gaaten Ragnarok. The film has just been picked up for distribution in North America by Magnolia pictures after seeing the three minute promo that got a lot of distributors interested in the action adventure film. The work doesn’t have a planned date in the US, but the official site has released a teaser (in the full sense of the word) with English subtitles.
Plot Concept: Norwegian Production Company Fantefilm is behind the upcoming large scale action-adventure film which stars actor Pål Sverre Hagen (KON-TIKI, 2012) as an archeologist obsessed with the Oseberg Viking ship. Convinced that the Oseberg ship contains the answer to the mystery of Ragnarok, the end of days in Norse mythology he mounts an expedition to “No Man’s Land” between Norway and Russia, which holds a secret more terrifying than he could possibly imagine.
