Outlander is an upcoming science fiction film directed by Howard McCain and starring James Caviezel. Caviezel has described Outlander to be a light combination of Braveheart and Highlander, but a film on a larger scale.[1]

Plot

From ComingSoon.net: "Outlander begins when a space craft crashes into the majestic fjords of ancient Norway and into the time of the Vikings. From the wreckage emerge two bitter enemies: a soldier from another world – Kainan – and a bloodthirsty creature known as the Moorwen. Man and monster both seeking revenge for violence committed against them. As the Moorwen ravages the Viking world, killing everything in its path, Kainan forms an unlikely alliance with the primitive but fierce warriors. Combining his advanced technology with ancient Iron Age weapons, the hero leads a desperate attempt to kill the monster - before it destroys them all."[2]

Production

In May 2005, The Weinstein Company announced the addition of the sci-fi epic Outlander to its distribution slate with Howard McCain directing the film. At the time, actor Karl Urban in talks to star in the film, which is based on a screenplay written by McCain and Dirk Blackman.[3] In September 2006, James Caviezel was announced to star in Outlander. Filming was scheduled to begin October 16, 2006 in Nova Scotia, Halifax, and Nine Mile River and to last 10 weeks.[4] Sophia Myles, Ron Perlman, John Hurt, and Jack Huston were cast alongside Caviezel in the film, which wraps up photography on January 5, 2007 in Halifax and Newfoundland.[2]
