ReCoil 0 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 As an age old battle rages amongst the stars, Kainan's ship burns brightly as it crashes into the Nordic coast. As his space craft comes to rest in the fjords of ancient Norway, it's with dismay that Kainan realizes that he wasn't the only survivor. A second passenger, a Moorwen also emerges from the wreckage. A Fierce and animal-like creature, the Moorwen is intent on causing harm to those it perceives have wronged it. As the Moorwen kills everything in its path, Kainan must work together with the Vikings to destroy the beast before it destroys them all. Starring: James Caviezel, Sophia Myles, Jack Huston, Ron Perlman and John Hurt. Directed by: Howard McCain Trailer I've been following this movie for a while now... Let's face it. Vikings + Aliens = Awesome. Throw Perlman in the mix and it's even more awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AdminGuyX Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Damn. Never heard thing one about this film before, and yeah, it does look pretty damn interesting. Thanks for linking the trailer. Cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
irish46 0 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Dude, this looks simply awesome, Perlman, Caveizal and Hurt?... and HURT as a viking king? too cool. Although I thourghly enjoyed both PATHFINDER and 13th WARRIOR they both had huge flaws in them. Maybe this will be the cool VIKING movie that they could have been.

kwiat_skye 0 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Looks great and I'd love to see it. Too bad I'm not Latvian. I mean really, what gives? This film is on screen in Latvia but there is no release date yet in the U.S.? If I lived in Russia I could see Mutant Chronicles next month, but no release date yet here? Very frustrating. k-skye Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To bad the studio heads can't figure out how these things happen...shit, maybe they can, I can't say as I know any of the polics involved in movie making...there must be some utterly insane reason why you would show this movie in Latvia....?

norse_sage 0 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I had never heard about Outlander till I saw the trailer for it a few days a go. Looks like stupid, fun way to kill a few hours, can't wait to see it! I hated "Pathfinder", the original was a hundredfold as good, but "The 13th Warrior" was pretty cool. They even spoke norwegian in it! Hope this will be as entertaining. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SonOfTheDark 0 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I'm always interested in Viking movies, especially if they have fantasy or sci-fi elements. The trailer looks good, seems a bit like a period Predator piece. Interesting trivia, that McCain wrote this as a sci-fi version of Beowulf first. I guess there are still some elements in there. Anyway, I hope that the movie will come out soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiara 0 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Two weeks out from when it is supposed to debut in a limited theatrical run on the 23rd of this month, Third Rail Releasing (an arm of The Weinstein Co.) revealed the U.S. one-sheet for the creature feature Outlander. Quite a difference from the international poster, wouldn't you say? Directed by Howard McCain, the film begins when a space craft crashes into the majestic fjords of ancient Norway and into the time of the Vikings. From the wreckage emerge two bitter enemies: a soldier from another world – Kainan (played by Jim Caviezel) – and a bloodthirsty creature known as the Moorwen. Man and monster both seeking revenge for violence committed against them. As the Moorwen ravages the Viking world, killing everything in its path, Kainan forms an unlikely alliance with the primitive but fierce warriors. Combining his advanced technology with ancient Iron Age weapons, the hero leads a desperate attempt to kill the monster - before it destroys them all. Sophia Myles, Jack Huston, Ron Perlman and John Hurt co-star. Look for a trailer soon! Click here to see poster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kwiat_skye 0 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 "It destroyed his world. He won't let it destroy ours." Why does that sound so familiar? Oh yeah. Bad Planet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike V 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 The poster is pretty sucky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Bradstreet 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I like both posters. The first one was pretty cool though a little patchily put together, but the composition was real nice. This one is nice too, simpler obviously, and focusing on star Caviezel. Kinda boring by comparison though. Couldn't help noticing the tag line and the title both could be interchangeable with some of our Bad Planet flavor text and tags. I know this movie HAS to have troubles for it to have gone through so much shit to get released. But I'm a sucker for Vikings and Sci-Fi. The 23rd huh? Hmmm, might have to see it while in Dallas, if we can find a theater playing it. - TB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike V 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 The international poster is pretty good, it would have awesome if it was illustrated though. It looks a tad too photoshoppy for my tastes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiara 0 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Earlier in the week we gave you a look at the one-sheet for Outlander (get a look). Tonight, a trailer has arrived by way of IGN. Watch it in the player below. Full plot synopsis and more reside in our database. Third Rail gives the film a limited theatrical release on January 23rd.

Murphy 0 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Man, I'm giddy with excitement about seeing this movie, it just looks like such fun (something missing from the cinema's around Oscar time). Anyone know the UK release date? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murphy 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Well, as no one would do it for me, I had to master the art of Google myself. UK release date is 24 April 2009. Wait, what? WTF? Why the heck do we have to wait an extra 3 months for the film to be released in the UK, what is this, the 1980's all over again? Do they only have 5 prints or something! .... and why the feck do they have to release it the weekend I'm running the London Marathon, the only weekend I've got something planned all year! Yee gods, Murphy's law or what! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianmcquery 0 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Much like KILLSHOT, this movie is out in theaters in a very strange way, though it's a much wider release than KILLSHOT. It's playing in San Diego and other parts of CA, but not L.A. This is a first for me since moving out to L.A. There are 2 movies that came out today that are not screening in L.A. Guess I've been spoiled by being able to see anything that's out there in a theater. This is so bizarre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiara 0 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Ruthlessly dumped into a limited amount of theaters last month, it's only a matter of time before we start hearing the buzz on a DVD release date. While we wait, check out these two international one-sheets that appeared at IMPAwards.com today. Both are still much better than the domestic poster.

Tim Bradstreet 0 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hey, I saw this and I really fucking dug it. I'm really not sure what the delay was about or why it's getting such a limited release. In fact I'm baffled. Daly caught this with me and I have to say HE is baffled too. We're both fairly discerning filmgoers, especially when it comes to our genre. This is a very cool blend of sci-fi and period. Jim Caviezal is EXCELLENT. John Hurt, Sophia Myles, Ron Perlman, and Jack Huston are all EXCELLENT. The music is EXCELLENT. The Cinematography is EXCELLENT. The Creature (designed by Patrick Tatopoulos) is outstanding. The story is intriguing and there is some stunningly cool work on display with many of the visuals. It could benefit from some smart editing and because of that may be a tad long for some people, but I really can't see why this got poleaxed by the studio. If you like films like The 13th Warrior, Dragonslayer, or even Pathfinder, you'll love this. If you like a high concept sci-fi/fantasy this is a solid, solid film. Get out to see it if it is in your area, and definitely check it out when it hits DVD. - TB PS - New posters look great, if not a tad too yellow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
irish46 0 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I'm pissed, near as I can tell, it is no where near the Detroit are?...this is one of those movies I was waiting to catch on the big screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Bradstreet 0 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 If Rotten Tomatoes is giving this 24% then I now know of a lot of people who have shit in their ears. I heard some talkbackers (not many) who mention the film is goofy. What? I fucking HATE goofy when it comes to genre and I didn't get that vibe off this film at all, and believe me when I say that my goofy radar is on full when I hope for the best but am not sure what I'm getting until I see it. Well I saw it, and goofy it was NOT. Was it as good as Alien? No. Was it as good as Aliens? No. Was it as good as The 13th Warrior? At least as good if not better, though a Goldsmith score (god rest his soul) would have put it over the top No, this is not the most genius genre film ever helmed, but it IS a helluva lot better than what passes for decent these days. And that's saying something. If I had to rate with stars, 1 to 10, I'd give it an even 7. Negative fan reaction is what it is, but I'll bet you writer/director, Howard McCain's stock rises exponentially. - TB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiara 0 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Outlander, starring James Caviezel, continued its limited theatrical run in the U.S. this weekend. That's right, it's still plowing through theaters since Third Rail opened the film January 23rd. Outlander.solsector.net has done a pretty thorough job keeping track of what theaters is hosting Howard McCain's film. In about three months, though, you'll be able to catch it on DVD and Blu-Ray. The aforementioned site is hearing rumblings that it will land on May 5th. ShockTillYouDrop.com can back that up, but hold tight until something official comes down. In the meantime, check out the handful of new hi-res stills we've received from Genius Products (the outfit handling DVD distribution duties).
