Paul Mescal was undoubtedly the star attraction on the opening night of the Dublin International Film Festival on Thursday.
The local boy — almost, he’s from Maynooth, 24 kilometers to the west of the Irish capital — marked his first appearance at the event for the curtain-raising Irish psychological drama God’s Creatures, in which he stars alongside Emily Watson. But he also hit the red carpet at Dublin’s Light House Cinema not just as a freshly minted Oscar and BAFTA nominee for Aftersun and one of the most in-demand actors around (Ridley Scott recently tapped him for his Gladiator sequel), but as someone who, the last time the festival was held as a fully in-person event without pandemic restrictions in February 2020, literally hadn’t even been seen onscreen yet. His breakout, Normal People, was released just a few months later.

Netflix has debuted a new trailer for the upcoming series ‘Vikings: Valhalla’, based on the series ‘Vikings’ and created by Michael Hirst.
Set over a thousand years ago in the early 11th century, the series chronicles the heroic adventures of some of the most famous Vikings who ever lived — the legendary explorer Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), his fiery and headstrong sister Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), and the ambitious Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter).

From showrunner and executive producer Jeb Stuart, the series is also executive produced by Morgan O’Sullivan, Michael Hirst, Sheila Hockin,...

Netflix has released a teaser for “Vikings: Valhalla,” a spinoff series of the original “Vikings” saga set to premiere Feb. 25 on the streaming platform.
“Vikings: Valhalla” takes place over a thousand years ago in the early 11th century, chronicling the adventures of famous Vikings in history — notably explorer Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), his sister Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson) and Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter). In the series, tensions between Vikings and English royals violently climax and an epic journey across oceans (and bloody battlefields) begins.
“Vikings: Valhalla” takes place more than 100 years after the end of the “Vikings” series, which started close to the year 793 and explored several decades after. “Vikings” was loosely based on Norse and Icelandic sagas — focusing on Viking Ragnar Lothbrok and later the lives of Ragnar’s family. The original show ran for six seasons between 2013 and 2020 on the History Channel.

The final 10 episodes of Michael Hirst’s historical drama Vikings is moving from History to Amazon for its first window. The streamer has struck a deal to have the exclusive first run of the second half of the MGM drama’s final season. It will launch all 10 episodes on December 30 in the U.S., UK, Germany, Austria and Ireland.
The unusual arrangement means that History, which originally commissioned the show, will only have second-window rights to one of its key scripted shows. It comes as the A+E Networks channel is moving out of returnable scripted series and focusing on limited miniseries.
The move also comes as Netflix is in production with its Vikings spinoff Vikings: Valhalla, which is currently in production in Ireland.

The High Court in Ireland heard this week that a German film company may seek an injunction over plans to make Vikings: Valhalla, Netflix’s recently revealed sequel to hit series Vikings.
Lawyers for Berlin-based W2 Filmproduktion said on Thursday that W2 may seek an injunction as part of its ongoing action against Vikings producers Morgan O’Sullivan and James Flynn of Octagon Films, which is also a producer on the spin-off series.
W2 has alleged the producers have diverted around €40M out of Octagon, of which they are shareholders. The case, which began in 2016, returned to court this week. O’Sullivan and Flynn strongly deny W2’s allegations.
During Thursday’s proceedings, lawyers for W2 told the court the company had only learned about the Vikings spin-off through the media. W2 claims the fees generated from the original series are a central issue in the action and that it fears...

One of my favorite shows, History‘s Vikings, has announced new cast members for the new season, and it’s a group that should have you excited to see where things go.
For me, the most impressive note here is that Lothaire Bluteau will be joining the cast as Emperor Charles of France. One of the most woefully under-appreciated actors around, Bluteau may be best known at the moment for his work on The Tudors, but he was also the star of two of the best movies ever, Jesus of Montreal and Black Robe.
Also on board is Kevin Durand, another actor who doesn’t get the attention he deserves, who will hopefully be more solidly in the collective consciousness when Vikings rolls around again, because he is also in the upcoming The Strain.
Finally, relative unknown Morgane Polanski will play Emperor Charles’ daughter.
And so, despite ending last season with all eyes at home,...

The Ifta’s were on last night. For those wondering, its like the Irish version of the Oscars….sort of. Last nights IFTAs ran smoothly enough with the obvious exception of a number of pig ignorant audience members who behaved like they were at at a wedding than an actual televised, awards show. Look, we know the booze is flowing and the prawn sandwiches are a plenty, but the same goes for the Golden Globes and many other award ceremonies. At least those audiences have the decency and respect for their fellow colleagues to shut the fuck up. Anyway, ignorant crowd pigs aside, heres the winners list Film Calvary (James Flynn, Chris Clark, Flora Fernandez Marengo, Octagon Films, Reprisal Films) Director Film Neil Jordan, Byzantium (Parallel Films and Number 9 Films) Script Film John Michael McDonagh, Calvary (Octagon Films and Reprisal Films) Irish Film Board Rising Star Jamie Dornan Actor in...
