Outlander

Jipdog · Outlander

Anybody heard of this yet? Got free tickets to a test screening tomorrow night, but not heard much about it, other than Jim Caviziel, Ron Perlman and John Hurt are in it.

Well JD, Jim Caviziel described it as a "light combination of Braveheart and Highlander but on a larger scale"

There are some SPOILERS in the next bit if you'd rather not read!

The Weinstein Company said:

"Outlander begins when a space craft crashes into the majestic fjords of ancient Norway and into the time of the Vikings. From the wreckage emerges 2 bitter enemies: a soldier from another world - Kainan - and a bloodthirsty creature known as the Moorwen. Man and monster both seeking revenge for the violence committed against them.

As the Moorwen ravages the Viking world, killing everything in its path, Kainan forms an unusual alliance with the primitive but fierce warriors. Combining his advanced technology with ancient Iron Age weapons, the hero leads a desperate attempt to kill the monster - before it destroys them all."

Hope that helps

Cheers Cat. Nice one. Not sure if I will bother with a review as it won't be the final product and it sounds like it's still a few months away from general release. Where did you find the quote? I can't find an official website or anything.

Catnapper

I read about it on the link below......it gives lots of info about the movie including the production details, so you'll know everything about it when you see it tonight!

Sounds quite promising doesn't it ...you'll have to let us know what its like bud

Jipdog

Don't want to say too much about it as we had to sign a disclosure form and I want to cover my back, but I will say that it is a good film. It's fairly low key, but that was what made it good. I would say it is one to look out for when it gets released.

Lucifer_666

Oh your like FF's secret embedded reporter Jip....

you can leak us some info under a different name or something?

I will definitely look out for it though bud

Catnapper

JD could go to all the test screenings and report about them on here.......or not, if he has to keep quiet

I'll look out for this one too

Lucifer_666

He could re-register under a different name and secretly leak out bits and pieces to us babe....like The Masked Reviewer or something

Catnapper

Ooohh good thinking Luc

They've got a secret reviewer in my paper.....let's have one here too!

Lucifer_666

Yep we could meet here in secret...have brown envelope Pics exchanging hands

We could say code stuff like the red squirrel has met the White Rabbit...I'm going too far now aren't I?

Catnapper

Yes you are Luc.......a red squirrel would never meet a white rabbit

Any word on when it's being released JD?

Lucifer_666

I knew I should have kept up with those wild life programmes... then I would have know that a squirrel would never meet a rabbit
