Stop Whatever You're Doing And Watch The Trailer For VIKING. Because, Hot Damn.

Whatever you're doing right now, this is better. Really. After releasing a behind the scenes reel a little while back that promised a period epic that truly deserved the epic label the first proper trailer for Andrey Kravchuk's Viking has just arrived and, good lord, it may have just taken the all time title for the highest ratio of badassness per minute.

History is a symptom of our disease. From the time of heavy swords and dark laws of blood, when the pressure of great chaos gave rise to heroes. From the Dark Ages came the story that changed the world forever.

This thing is simply massive with every single scrap of every single frame filled with something absolutely gorgeous to look it, often times gorgeous in a gut-tinglingly appalling way. You want large scale hand to hand combat? Oh, yes, it's got that. Also what looks to be a fair bit of siege action and one particularly sumptuous shot on horseback. Yes, please.
