The Northman Interview: Alexander Skarsgård On Filming With Robert Eggers And Anya Taylor-Joy
Robert Eggers is one of the most distinctive directors working in Hollywood today, having cultivated a brand of eerie, unsettling, sometimes unexplainable unease in his first two feature films, The Witch and The Lighthouse. The Northman, however, is a major departure. Made with a $90 million budget, it retains Eggers' style but transplants it into the historical action genre, breaking new ground for the director. You can read all about why Eggers went in this direction in my interview with the director here, but star Alexander Skarsgård also has a unique perspective on The Northman.
