Is Leonardo DiCaprio really going to play a viking in an upcoming movie?

It’s true, we could have an Italian playing an Norseman, but stranger things have happened. Like Mel Gibson working with DiCaprio for example:

“Mel Gibson will direct and Leonardo DiCaprio will star in an untitled period drama set in the world of Viking culture. William Monahan is writing the script. Graham King will produce with Gibson and Tim Headington in a co-production between King’s GK Films and Gibson’s Icon Productions.” a source reports.

This will probably end up being a really bizarre movie considering the partnership. However, viking movies are very cool.

The trailer above is from my favorite viking movie.
