naturally called for a specific kind of historical accuracy. “There were people in the living history and experimental archeology communities who worked on the film,” says Eggers. “People who, basically, become Vikings on the weekends.” Those historical reenactors brought their expertise but were just as impressed with the “lived-in” re-creations of Norse villages and Viking halls.
Also consulted were historical European martial arts experts, for the film’s complex battle sequences and climactic duel at the crater of Hekla, a volcano known as “the gateway to hell” in the Middle Ages. Notes Eggers, “We had two really great Viking swordsmen come up with a fighting technique that you haven’t seen in a film before.”Eggers’ wife snapped this pic of the director during a 2016 vacation.
