Mel Gibson has had an idea for a viking film for a while now.  It's only now coming to fruition and the actor/director believes it will mark the end of his directing career. 

Gibson has stated that he's going for the same level of realism that he showed in Passion of The Christ and Apocalypto, where the primary languages were Aramaic and Mayan, repsectively.  The script is being reviewed by all involved, as we speak, in order to ensure the level of realism that Gibson seeks.

At this time Leonardo DiCaprio, seen recently in Shutter Island, is attached to the project.  All other details are heavily guarded by Viking Axe-Men.
