Vikings – this time accompanied by space aliens – will again land in the Maritimes this month with the arrival of Outlander. The sci-fi action feature is booked for Newfoundland and Labrador and the Halifax area into the new year, with Karl Urban (Doom) leading as an alien who crash-lands on Earth during the time of the Vikings, only to be followed by a predatory monster. Don Carmody (Silent Hill) and Christopher Eberts (Lucky Number Slevin) exec produce, joined by producers Chris Roberts, Barrie Osbourne and director Howard McCain (Perfect Prey).

Pierre Gill (Maurice Richard) is DOP, with monster design by Patrick Tatopoulos (Silent Hill, I, Robot). The Weinstein Company will release in 2007.
