High Res Stills from Ring of the Nibelungs aka Sword of Xanten
By James Wray Oct 23, 2004, 4:30 GMT
Well we have over 50 stills from Ring of the Nibelungs for you to have a gander at. Tri-Star in the Uk seem to have renamed it Sword of Xanten, what it is called in the US remains to be seen.
You can view stills and behind the scenes photos here.
For those who are Tolkien fans look out for one still from the story which is very similar to a scene in the Silmarillion...sorry to be a geek. But if you know about Túrin and Glaurung then you will spot it.
Based on the Germanic myth "Das Nibelungenlied" and the Nordic "Volsunga Saga" which also inspired the four-opera cycle by Richard Wagner and J.R.R. Tolkien's epic "The Lord of the Rings", this is the story of the young blacksmith Siegfried, who, not knowing that he is heir to a conquered kingdom, becomes popular with the Burgunds by slaying their bane, the dragon Fafnir.
When the reward seems to be a huge treasure, Siegfried ignores the curse that lies on the hoard - which now seems to endanger his love to beautiful Norse warrior queen Brunhild.
