Karl Urban in talks for Pathfinder
By James Wray Aug 15, 2005, 14:58 GMT
Karl Urban is in negotiations to star in a remake of Viking epic, Pathfinder.
The Hollywood Reporter says the movie, in which Urban would play the lead, is being directed by Marcus Nispel and will be distributed by 20th Century Fox.
The original followed the exploits of warring tribes in ancient Norway. But in the new version, with a script by screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis, the story concerns the little-known skirmishes that took place between the Vikings and Native Americans a thousand years ago.
When a Viking boy (Urban) is left behind, he is adopted and raised as an Indian despite his straw-blonde hair. When a Viking raid wipes out his village, he becomes his adopted people's savior in battling the Norsemen.
