Blu-Ray Disc TM : The Making Of Vikingdom (23 mins 17 secs): A behind the scenes look into how this epic tale was brought from legendary poem to Big Screen Blockbuster.

VIKINGDOM SYNOPSIS: Based on Viking mythology, Eirick (Dominic Purcell) battles from hell and beyond to retrieve the mystical artifact, Odin’s Horn, before Thor and his army can unleash its powers to conquer the world. From the mists of time comes the clanging of steel against steel, a collision of myth and history…. “Vikingdom.” Based on Viking legends and the epic poems they left as record, “Vikingdom” is a fantasy/action-adventure about a forgotten king, Eirick, who was tasked with the impossible odds to defeat Thor, the God of Thunder.

Thor is on a mission to gather the key ancient relics – “Mjolnir,” his hammer from Valhalla, “Necklace of Mary Magdalene” from Mitgard, and the “Horn” from Helheim. This needs to be accomplished before the blood eclipse, which happens once every 800 years, failing which, the pagan Viking Gods will never be able to rule and conquer mankind ever again.

Only one man can stop him… Eirick, the undead.
