Posted by Staff with No Comments

Hello there! After a lot of time with the same layout, it is time to get a new one. I would like to get a new Viggo Mortensen main layout and a new gallery layout but I really need your help and suggestions. I would like to know what photoshoots, colors, style…or whatever you would like for the new layout. Also, if you want to donate some money to buy this, every little bit will be more than appreciated.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Viggo Mortensen to Star in French Film

Posted by Staff with No Comments

Viggo Mortensen is set for his first French-language role in helmer-scribe David Oelhoffen’s “Loin des hommes” (Far From Men).

The film is inspired by “The Host,” one of six short stories in French-Algerian philosopher Albert Camus’ book, “Exile and the Kingdom.”

Mortensen stars as a French teacher in a small Algerian village in 1957 during Algeria’s war of independence from France. He is ordered to take a dissident to the authorities to turn him in but the two men unexpectedly bond.

The ¤6 million ($7.7 million) “Kingdom” is produced by Marc du Pontavice and Matthew Gledhill at Paris-based One World Films. “Viggo is a big fan of Albert Camus’ work and committed to star in the film very quickly after he read the script,” du Pontavice said. [Source]

Posted by Staff with No Comments

VIGGO Mortensen has said he’d love to play Aragorn again to bridge the gap between The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings films.

The star played Aragorn in the Rings trilogy and has told Total Film he would jump at the chance to reprise the role.

He said: “Would I play Aragorn again? Sure, if it seemed sensible to do so.

“He’s not in the book of The Hobbit, but if they’re working with the appendices they may be intending to bridge the 60-year Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings gap.

“I think I would have heard by now so I have to assume… But Peter Jackson is famous for his reshoots, so you never know!” [Source]
