The only thing that worries me about this is that Mel Gibson could take it as an opportunity to make some statement about Christianity. Given his background it wouldn't surprise me at all if the Vikings in the movie are portrayed as murderous, barbaric, baby-killing, demonic pagans (anyone see Pathfinder?) who are saved & civilized at the end by the righteous Christians. Everyone knows that the Vikings weren't the most wholesome of cultures, but I'm afraid this movie could turn out to be biased against them. But who knows, maybe it will just be another awesome epic, cuz Mel has certainly done some good ones in the past. The fact that it's in Old Norse is definitely pretty cool.
