I get emailed newsletters from TheOneRing.Net on a daily basis. Actually, it is quite a few newsletters I get from The One Ring. In one of today's newsletters came the article of Lord of the Rings producer, Barrie Osborne is showing interest in shooting a Viking film in Norway. He thinks doing this will help Norwegian tourism the way Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit have helped New Zealand tourism.
Mr. Osborne wants to spend $100 million to film a Viking blockbuster in Norway because of its "authentic landscape" and the expert knowledge that local historians have about the Viking Era.
Mr. Osborne also states that he wants to make a trilogy about the last great Viking king, Harald Hardrada. From "how Harald evolved from a teenager to the great leader that rallied his kingdom."
It is not clear if this is the same movie about Harald Hardrada that was announced was reported earlier this month and staring Leonardo di Caprio.

To my little knowledge about history, this is the first time I've heard the name Harald Hardrada. I've just got to know he died in the battle of Stamford Bridge, after that Vikings were forced out of England. For some reason, I feel a feeling like sadness or anger by thinking of this historical fact.
