BURZUM Mastermind To Be Portrayed By 'Twilight' Heartthrob In 'Lords Of Chaos' Movie - May 21, 2009

Jackson Rathbone, the teen heartthrob from "Twilight", has reportedly agreed to play Varg Vikernes (a.k.a. Count Grishnackh) — the former BURZUM mastermind who is currently serving a Norwegian prison term for the August 1993 murder of MAYHEM guitarist Oystein Aarseth (a.k.a. Euronymous) and setting fire to three churches — in the upcoming movie "Lords Of Chaos".

Based on Michael Moynihan and Didrik Soderlind's book of the same name, the film depicts true events and revolves around the black metal sub-culture that spawned a wave of murders and church arsons across Norway in the early 1990s.

Making his English-language debut with "Lords Of Chaos" will be hot Japanese director Sion Sono.

Stuart Pollok of Los Angeles-based Saltire Entertainment, Ko Mori of Eleven Arts and Oh Jungwan of Korea's Bom Productions are producing the film, which starts shooting in Norway in mid-September.

Three years ago, plans had been underway to make the book into a film. However, the producers lacked funding at the time.

Now, however, with funding underway, producer Pollok is in Cannes to promote the project.

Why did you choose to make this film?

"It is a fascinating topic, a great visual world to depict, and a fun portrayal of Norway," Pollok told Dagbladet.no. "Black metal is possibly the largest cultural export of Norway in the past twenty years."

In his manuscript to Norway's Hans Fjellestad, Pollok revealed that the film will be based on actual events.

It will be a story of youth and youthful energy, said Pollok, but he emphasised that the film will fall under the teen film category, and that it will be a psychological horror film.

Yeah of course it does...Varg reforms himself in prison, exorcises his demons and becomes a born-again christian, meeting up with troubled female soul upon his release who has also struggled through adversity and now they have an amazing romance and are swept away to an idealic island where they live happilt ever after.

Count Gooseneck can play himself.. he'll be released in a few weeks/months...?

They do realise that in the book that both Varg and Eronymous were both depected as pretty unlikable, elitist people?

The movie isn't gonna be interesting to watch, its just going to be "Whoa, these guys are idiots AND assholes".

Pegging this motherfucker for a straight-to-DVD release

...Which is so unlike the Black Metal community

Expect a Christian backlash against anything "metal" if this film ever becomes popular.

Touche

Adds further weight to my argument really, that this movie will either stay tr00 and bomb, or go for teen heart-throb and bomb harder

I can't wait for the resulting legions of teenage retards that will result from this film.

... although I'm morbidly curious to see how it'll turn out, aren't you guys?

chantian_deanie · « **Reply #18 on:** May 23, 2009, 08:29:12 AM »

Looks like it's going to be a B grade horror film.

Anacrucify · « **Reply #19 on:** May 23, 2009, 06:53:02 PM »

Hmmm was a great read and the fact that this dude is playing Varg means there's a better chance of it playing here before DVD release. Should be interesting. Looking forward to the scene where Varg chases Euronymous around his house with a knife and then pushes him down the stairs. It was self defence I swear!

whos gonna play gay-goroth and his mexican rent-a-boy in the closet scenes whilst they "sword" fight?

i expect this to be a very poor interpretation of TNBM. I already cringe at the epic failure this will be.
