It is the latest offering from Eggers who won critical claim for his most recent features The Witch and The Lighthouse.

According to Focus: "The Northman is an epic revenge thriller, that explores how far a Viking prince will go to seek justice for his murdered father.

"The film is directed by Robert Eggers, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Icelandic poet and novelist Sjón. Producers are Lars Knudsen, Mark Huffam and New Regency. The Northman is a co-production of Focus Features and New Regency."

The release of the film will again advertise the Inishowen region to film-lovers around the world following the global publicity generated when Star Wars was filmed there a few years ago.
