Valhalla Rising -Trailer for Nicolas Refn's Viking epic

Nicolas Refn is the director of Bronson and Pusher. This new one of his looks nice and vikingy! It stars Casino Royale's Mads Mikkelsen (what is it with him and characters with dodgy eyes?)

For years, One-Eye, a mute warrior of supernatural strength, has been held prisoner by the chieftain Barde. Aided by a boy, Are, he kills his captor and together they escape, beginning a journey into the heart of darkness. On their flight from bounty hunters, One-Eye and Are board a Viking vessel, but the ship is soon engulfed by an endless fog that first disintegrates as they sight an unknown land. As the new land reveals its secrets and the Vikings meet a ghastly fate, One-Eye discovers his true self.

Warrior - Nick Nolte enters the world of mixed martial arts

Lionsgate and director Gavin O'Connor have set Nick Nolte, Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Morrison to star in "Warrior," a drama set in the world of mixed martial arts fighting. Production begins in April in Pittsburgh.
Nolte plays an ex-Vietnam vet boxer-turned-steel mill worker whose family was torn apart by his alcoholism; the now-sober and remorseful dad welcomes back his youngest son (Hardy) and trains him to compete in a mixed martial arts tournament. He and his older brother, played by Edgerton, are on a collision course in the ring.

O'Connor wrote the script with Anthony Tambakis, and the helmer will produce with brother Greg O'Connor.

Hardy can currently be seen in "Bronson" and previously starred in "Layer Cake", "RocknRolla" and "Star Trek: Nemesis" and Edgerton just starred in "The Waiting City" and "The Truth About Men." Morrison, who stars in the Fox series "House," will next be seen in the J.J. Abrams-directed "Star Trek."

O'Connor had originally set Nolte to play the patriarch in his last film, "Pride and Glory," but the actor bowed out because of a knee problem and Jon Voight stepped in. Nolte was last seen in "Tropic Thunder."

Bronson - Trailer

The notorious life of the UK's "most violent prisoner" serves as the subject of Pusher Trilogy director Nicolas Winding Refn's brutal biopic. Born Michael Peterson but later renamed by his fight promoter, Charles Bronson's sole ambition in life was to become famous. Surmising that the fastest means of accomplishing his goal with such limited opportunities was to cultivate a stylized persona as a hardened criminal, the ambitious do-badder embraced a desperate existence of extreme savagery. But who is the real man behind the warped persona? Seeing as how twenty-eight of Bronson's thirty-four years behind bars were spent in solitary confinement, that's a difficult question to answer. The terror of the legend comes to vivid life, however, as director Refn explores the twisted alternate reality created by Bronson, and highlights precisely how the controversial criminal staged himself within that anarchistic world.
