Mel Gibson slutter måske af med vikinge-film

Instruktør-karrieren kan snart være slut.

Mel Gibson har sikret sig Leonardo DiCaprio til sin episke vikinge-film, som han selv instruerer ud fra et manuskript fra William Monahan, der tidligere har skrevet "The Departed".

Nu kan Gibson så fortælle, at filmen muligvis bliver den sidste i hans karriere som instruktør. Han har tidligere instrueret film som "Braveheart" og "Passion of the Christ", men netop denne vikinge-film er hans absolut drømmeprojekt, da han har drømt om det siden han var et barn.

"It was the first movie I ever thought about making," forklarer Gibson. "I saw it in my mind back when I was teenager. Seriously, it's the first movie I wanted to make. And I think it will be the last film I direct. It's the thing I have been going toward, in a way, since I was young, and I think when it's done I may be finished."

Samtidig giver han lidt flere detaljer om det kommende projekt: "We're [working] on the script right now. When I was 16, learning about the history of the English language, I became fascinated with Vikings. And I imagined what they would sound like, how would they talk and that's what I will be going for in this film. There's never been a good Viking film, not that I've seen. I think I have found the right way to get into it. The real problem is making those guys sympathetic. They were monsters."
