– We are in the throes of putting the final touches on the film, and I am very exited to share the first trailer with the audience. With the ‘Underworld’ we tried to do something that was not seen before in a Danish action film. Now we are trying to do the same for the adventure genre. The sagas of the norse gods is one of Scandinavia’s absolute grundfortællinger which I think is immensely important in a time where many feel rootless. ‘Valhalla’ is a homage to the nordic gods and our mythological origins, says Fenar Ahamad.
