Viking and alien worlds collide on Blu-ray and DVD

Described as a cross between Alien and Beowulf, this
exhilarating event-status battle of two worlds stars
Jim Caveizel (The Passion of the Christ), John Hurt
(Hellboy), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Sophia Myles (Underworld)
and Jack Huston (Shrooms).
Directed by Howard McCain and co-written with Dirk Blackman,
who are currently scripting Bret Ratner’s new
Conan film and from the producers of The Lord of the
Rings trilogy also featuring special effects from the
teams behind Pitch Black, I, Robot and 10,000 B.C.,
OUTLANDER has genre credentials of the highest order.
Packaged in a cool 3D lenticular O-ring sleeve the film
will be accompanied on both formats by a Viking army
of special features including an audio commentary, making
of featurette, deleted scenes, visual effects tests,
animatics, artwork galleries and a trailer.
In 709AD, a space craft streaks across the night sky
and crash lands in a Norwegian fjord. From its wreckage
emerge, Kainan (Caviezel) a soldier from a far away
planet and a deadly alien stowaway, the Moorwen. Before
he has a chance to track down the Moorwen, Kainan is
captured by Viking warrior, Wulfric (Huston) and held
prisoner in the local village led by King Rothgar (Hurt).
Grudgingly accepted into the clan after saving Rothgar's
life, Kainan confides in Rothgar's fiercely beautiful
daughter, Freya (Myles) about his past.
As the Moorwen wreaks terror and destruction on neighbouring
villages, the threat of conflict between the clans escalates
and Kainan is called upon to kill the creature. Aware
of their prey's strength, Kainan and Wulfric fuse his
advanced alien technology with the Viking's Iron Age
weaponry. Joining forces with the bloodthirsty Gunnar
(Perlman), they lead one last mission to seek out and
slay the Moorwen. In the face of the Viking's destruction,
the tale of Kainan becomes legend.
