Of course the movie won't be just in Old Norse. Said Mel: I think it’s going to be English - the English that would have been spoken back then - and Old Norse. Whatever the 9th century had to offer. I’m going to give you real.'

This is going to be great! I wonder how the actors will be taught/trained.

Go Mel Gibson!

I admit, that the only reason I watched "passion of the christ" was to hear the languages spoken.

Tritone, I was actually thinking about that yesterday. I saw "Passion" long before I got into languages. I wouldn't have seen it again under regular circumstances, but after I get a solid base in Semitic languages (not anytime soon) I'll probably watch it just for the languages.

If Mr. Gibson really makes a film in Old Saxon and Old Norse then I might break my habit of not watching blooddripping actionfilms (or I might close my eyes, clench my fists and just listen to it with a bucket in front of me).

haha funny guy... Well, unless you are planning to wait for the blueray release, I guess fellow theatergoers are going to be tickled to see you wear glasses with a strip of black electrical tape across the bottom -- or at least that's the only practical way I can think of to avoid seeing the (certainly present) subtitles in the theater.
