The adventure film, written and to be directed by David LG Hughes, will explore the lives and legendary crusades of Scandinavian explorers. It centers on a young Norse girl, the rightful heir to the Viking kingdom, who is banished after she's framed for the murder of her father, the King. She travels the world with Odin to build up the army she needs to reclaim the throne. “I wrote the part of Odin with Terence Stamp’s photo on my desktop as inspiration," said Hughes. "So actually having Terence play Odin in the movie is mindbogglingly exciting.” Andee Ryder and David LG Hughes are producing the film from Misfits Entertainment, Fatal Black Films and Six Mile Hill. Kwesi Dickson, Clay Epstein and Tony Krantz are executive producing.
