New Movie this summer: Pathfinder
March 13th, 2007
This movie looks pretty good. But I don’t have a good handle on it yet. It is probably not going to be another blockbuster like 300. The whole Indians vs. Vikings thing is interesting but probably a hard sell.
I will find out more and let you know. (It Opens April 13)
Here is a quote from the official pathfinder site:
“In an untamed, primordial America, 500 years before Columbus will reach its shores, unfolds an epic battle between love and hate that will change one man’s destiny and the future of a nation: PATHFINDER. This action-adventure saga recreates one of the most riveting, yet never-before-seen, eras in human history – when Viking “dragon” ships from the mysterious Norse lands arrived out of nowhere to invade a pristine North America. Inspired by historical findings, yet forged with the magic and style of a modern graphic novel, PATHFINDER comes to life in a cinematic experience filled with intense and primal action.”
It Opens April 13th and here is the official Pathfinder Movie site Pathfinder
The Movie, like 300 is based on a Graphic Novel (Pathfinder).
Review of the Novel:
“ Five hundred years before Columbus, barbaric Viking invasions ravaged North America. Pathfinder is the story of a young Viking boy left behind as the only survivor of a shipwrecked expedition. A stranger in a strange land, the boy is raised by a tribe of American Indians - the very people the Vikings had sworn to destroy. When Vikings again storm the eastern shores, waging another barbaric campaign, they slaughter the tribe that adopted the young man. Now he wages a violent personal war to stop the Vikings’ trail of death and destruction. “
