Must Watch: Outlander Movie Trailer

I’m not a viking movie type of guy, but who is? The international movie trailer for Outlander has hit the interwebs and I can’t tell you how excited I suddenly am to see this flick. I mean, who doesn’t want to see a movie about “vikings teaming with a human alien to take on an alien creature”? Watch the trailer below, and tell me what you think! Am I insane, or could this be a lot of fun?

Plot Synopsis: As an age old battle rages amongst the stars, Kainan’s ship burns brightly as it crashes into the Nordic coast. As his space craft comes to rest in the fjords of ancient Norway, it’s with dismay that Kainan realizes that he wasn’t the only survivor. A second passenger, a Moorwen also emerges from the wreckage. A Fierce and animal-like creature, the Moorwen is intent on causing harm to those it perceives have wronged it. As the Moorwen kills everything in its path, Kainan must work together with the Vikings to destroy the beast before it destroys them all. Starring James Caviezel, Sophia Myles, Jack Huston, John Hurt, and Ron Perlman.

The Weinstein Co have yet to announce a U.S. release date for Outlander.

  • Galdersorg
    I AM a Viking movie type of guy, and I've been waiting a long while for this.
  • Whoa Momma!! Mix 13th Warrior with Predator and a little dash of Reign of Fire and hold on to your battle axe! Count me in! Where the %$^& did this come from and could the movie possibly be as good as that trailer? Ok, probably not, but I'll see it.
  • Christopher Edwards
    Very Nice i heard Ron Perlman talking about this and looks really good.
  • fanboy d
    dude! this looks terrible! you ARE insane!
  • TheDaftPunk
    Looks like it could be worth a trip to the theater. Besides, the flow of movies is going to halt come later this year, and I'll be begging to see something.
  • Matt H
    fanboy d: agreed, Peter you lost me on this one LOL
  • Rockn Amy
    Peter, I agree. Where did this movie come from? It looks so insane that it might actually be a lot of fun.
  • Jack The Ripper
    Vikings and Space aliens?! Where do I sign up?
  • brian
    this looks awesome
  • A Better Class of Criminal
    Why are all the Vikings Brittish?
  • Ender
    It'll probably be on dvd a month after it hits theaters, but I'd definitely rent it!
  • semper
    Looks adequate if it's a slow movie week.

    Also, I'm all for riding on the coat tails of The Lord Of The Rings, but they should at least have the good grace to spell it correctly (1:06).
  • big daddy
    jesus fights aliens with futuristic guns AND swords AND vikings?? this is fucking epic, i cant see why anyone wouldnt want to see this
  • Steelo
    sweet, another "alien" of anglo-saxon descent.

    As long as it has dragons.
  • Raerth
    Peter. Vikings + Aliens /= good film!

    You are pretty damn correct that it sounds like a whole load of cheesy fun :)
  • emily
    Has there been a good movie about Vikings? And adding aliens? Geez thats just not right. This looks beyond terrible.
  • StamasterArson
    lol Listen to those laser effects at 1:25.
  • meh
  • cogezek
    @ StamasterArson

    pewpew > qq
  • Mira
    No. Just no.
  • edward
    oh come on peter. this is fucking ridiculous
  • My gut tells me this won't hold up well over two hours but the premise alone will probably get my ass in a seat.

    Did anyone else get a Brotherhood of the Wolf vibe?
  • "Am I insane, or could this be a lot of fun?"

    I vote for insane.
  • Awesome sauce!! I'm there for anything with Vikings!!
  • BFFredo
    If this comes out in the depths of January/February, I'll be there.

    It'd definitely be some sweet counter-programming for Valentine's Day!
  • menotrouble
    dumb. too expensive looking to be cool trash, too serious to be fun. the uninspired soundtrack was quite appropriate for this very, very formulaic piece of -- to hell with it. if you like these kind of movies, go ahead and have fun. just don't look down on people who collect 80s porn on dvd. cause in a way, youa re quite the same. it*'S just not my kind of porn, though.
  • w smith
    Nice poster, but the movie looks lame. When they have to advertise "from Lord of the Rings PRODUCER" on the poster... you know there is going to be trouble.
  • Gajonka
    You'd think they could come up with a better name than OUTLANDISH!

    If this ia any basis, we're all in deep, deep trouble with this one...
  • cogezek
    oh is this that new tactics rpg?
  • fabescore
    @big daddy: took the words right outta my mouth.


    If this does prove well in the box office, and a sequel is made, they better throw in some ninjas and vampires and maybe some co-symbiotic creatures or something. Outlander has potential, all you nay sayers are brenden frasier fans. ha!
  • Caeles
    I was digging it. Till the short clip with the space ship lasers going "Pew Pew" away (1:25) threw the whole thing off for me. Now it's just a slight interest. Still looks like a good reign of fire. But you can never know with these things.
  • Meli
    Looks like a hell of a lot of fun, I'm in!
  • september11th
    EPIC FAIL.
  • @menotrouble

    Lol. You don't like it cause it looks expensive? Sorry for laughing but that was the most pretentious and funny comment all day(I'm sure it was unintentional).

    Don't judge the movie's score just because they used an Immediate Music temp score in their trailer though. Not many movies are that lucky to have the film's score ready come trailer time. If I judged movie trailers like that I would have expected to see that The Two Towers was about heroine addiction.
  • lee
    I cant wait for this to hit bittorrent. It may suck, but im still gonna give it a try. Vikings and aliens? sign me up
  • Henry Jones Jr
    Um...no.
  • come on, this looks great. only giant robots and she ninjas would improve it
  • Coral
    Needs more laser-mounted dinosaurs.

    Other than that, looks a like a badass, 300-esque movie.
  • Albert Brodsky
    Is this the sequel to Passion of the Christ? If so I'm in. A space Jesus fighting a dragon with vikings=BIG WIN.
  • kingdarius
    It looks okay but it doesnt look like it deserves to be on the big screen looks like a straight to dvd kinda movie
  • Gary
    I will wait for the DVD.
  • Kurts
    So Jesuschrist descend from the skies and team up with manly badass motafucka vikings to fight an evil alien force?

    awesome
  • Floppy
    @ Gorman

    That's exactly the movie I thought of when I watched that. The Moorwen even kind of reminds me of the Beast from Brotherhood fo the Wolf
  • bryan
    finally, a successor to Battlefield Earth.
  • Chimaera
    Well the majority was complaining that movies were not creative with all the remakes and sequels coming out and I can't think of anything currently being publicized that is more creative...lol. I guess I'm insane as well b/c I'm buying into it :P
  • Movie
    I knew something was wrong when the big fat viking guy in the beginning did an overdramatic cliché swirling of his swords/axe things to slice off the guy's head, and the halo 3 like shot of the spaceman walking up to the horizon, that stuff.
