11.17.16 | I've only recently become aware of this movie so I only know some of the basics of it. This thread should only just serve as a place to talk about the movie in a more appropriate place |
Gmork89
11.17.16 | Lets do this, I'm interested to see it, book was supposedly all one-sided BS but I just want to see actors portray these characters. Forgot about the dead bird thing. |
kris.
11.17.16 | if fenriz isnt down then no thx
and that metallica video is terrible |
Sevengill
11.17.16 | I just want to see Renee Zellwegger play as Fenriz like he suggested.
Edit: Reese Witherspoon, right. |
ZippaThaRippa
11.17.16 | I don't think she's pretty enough to pull it off |
ZippaThaRippa
11.17.16 | That would actually be pretty funny. Make the movie 100 percent serious but cast Fenriz as a woman. And Varg as black. |
zaruyache
11.17.16 | I'd throw money at this film if they'd cast Reese Witherspoon as Fenriz. I think many people would, actually. |
TVC15
11.17.16 | I expected that it being a bio-pic it would be labeled a drama but a thriller?... Huh
Still, the actors of Dead and Euronymous seemed to do a fantastic job in the ManUNkind music vid so I hope they put up a great performance in the final product |
Nazzadan
11.17.16 | But talking about Lords of Chaos in the Metallica thread was way better than talking about Metallica.
Also yeah the whole band did an excellent job of looking like a BM band even though they were miming watered down alternative metal |

zaruyache
11.17.16 | "the actors... seemed to do a fantastic job"
to be fair it's probably easier to mime some stuff on stage while covered in makeup than it is to do normal film acting. |
Nazzadan
11.17.16 | I'm positive it's not the same guy, but the guy playing Euronymous looks like one of the random Swedish dudes that shows up at the end of the movie Metalhead |
ZippaThaRippa
11.17.16 | Ya know until very recently I thought it was pronounced bi-opic. Like biopsy. |
Sevengill
11.17.16 | @Zippa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI7BaAuAKnY |
Nazzadan
11.17.16 | I know tons of people that pronounce it that way |
ZippaThaRippa
11.17.16 | Good! Bio-pic sounds stupid |
TVC15
11.17.16 | Woah ok holy shit I just realized the actor playing Euronymous is Macaulay Culkin's brother Rory |
Nazzadan
11.17.16 | I wonder if they grew up listening to BM. Like after shooting for the day on Home Alone, he went into his trailer and blasted Bathory |
ZippaThaRippa
11.17.16 | He wasn't even in Home Alone |
TVC15
11.17.16 | Well BM would certainly help put the cast in that cold, wintery mood of Christmas |
Nazzadan
11.17.16 | I meant Macaulay, forgot to specify |
Sevengill
11.17.16 | is there christmas black metal
not like, christian but like a concept album about Krampus |
SCREAM!
11.17.16 | I'll undoubtedly watch it to see how it turns out but it will likely be extremely sensationalistic bs that will give the general public a completely skewed vision of what BM is and so I can't say I am looking forward to it.
The fact that they picked a Jewish actor to play Varg is hilarious though so props for that |
SCREAM!
11.17.16 | "is there christmas black metal

Check Erlosung |
Gmork89
11.17.16 | "Woah ok holy shit I just realized the actor playing Euronymous is Macaulay Culkin's brother Rory"
I think this guy could actually pull off a number of the roles. |
ZippaThaRippa
11.17.16 | "Check Erlosung"
Wow
Its really all been done |
TVC15
11.17.16 | What are some good movies Rory has acted in? |
Nazzadan
11.17.16 | From looking at his filmography, nothing lol |
Alastor
11.17.16 | I don't understand how a film like this can be made. None of the persons portrayed have granted their permission and some have spoken out against it openly (Varg, Fenriz). They neither have the moral nor the legal right to make the film. |
Grimlin
11.17.16 | Gonna be shit, but I'm sure I'll still watch it. |
Nazzadan
11.17.16 | Just did some google-fu, and you can make a biopic about literally anyone you want without their permission, they can just sue you if you tell outright lies about them.
I can already see Varg brewing up a nice big lawsuit if they portray his murder of Euronymous as anything other than self defense.
Also yeah they are morally in the wrong to be making this when pretty much everyone who was asked about the book that was featured in the book said it was a load of shit. |
TVC15
11.17.16 | I really wonder how it's going to look and sound when/if it shows Mayhem or any other band perform live. Like it'll be hard itself to replicate the sound and vox but if they mime over the music then it'd be really weird because of how bad the quality would be |
Nazzadan
11.17.16 | They might do what they did in the music video and show the "live" performance from the point of view of an old camcorder, that way they could play Live in Leipzig audio without it feeling out of place. |

TheSpirit
11.17.16 | i read the book and like black metal, so i'll probably see the movie when it comes out. fenriz's opinion is a non-factor, because i'm pretty sure he'd hate most of the stuff i love anyway |
Gmork89
11.17.16 | "From looking at his filmography, nothing lol"
It's not like hes been in any groundbreaking films but he's also never had a bad performance that I have seen. I think his attitude and demeanor would fit great, he has a face to play one of these guys.
Electrik Children was a pretty good one, I'd say he did a good performance in it. He plays a skater metalhead type in it too for comparison.

Nazzadan
11.17.16 | According to Varg, who is a totally untrustworthy narrator imo, Fenriz was constantly drunk back in those days so everything could be completely fine and Fenriz could still not like it because his view on what happened could have been very warped |
zaruyache
11.17.16 | but as you said, Varg is an untrustworthy narrator so nananana |
Nazzadan
11.17.16 | Yeah, I'm inclined to believe Fenriz. To be fair though, him and Fenriz BOTH disliked the book, so it's fair to say this will be an entertaining work of fiction rather than an accurate recollection of events. |
TVC15
11.17.16 | Outside of Varg, Fenriz was known to be a little too friendly with alcohol so that statement should be taken with a grain of salt |
TVC15
11.18.16 | Just have to say, this side by side I made pretty much shows how either impressive the make up artist is or Rory needs to do black metal

11.18.16 | why is that getting downvoted on imgur lol |
TVC15
11.18.16 | Truth can hurt sometimes |
zaruyache
11.18.16 | does he look like him without the makeup and hair totally covering his face tho |

11.28.16 | My guitar teacher assigned us this project to do a short biography and presentation on a guitarist of our choice. I almost did Euronymous but I wasn't allowed to do him cos we go to a Catholic high school lol |
alienobserver
11.28.16 | heard sky ferreria was gonna be in it |
TVC15
11.28.16 | ^Yeah she's a groupie in the film |
Nazzadan
11.28.16 | Is she playing someone real or not, is she just there to guide the audience? |
TVC15
11.28.16 | "Is she playing someone real or not, is she just there to guide the audience?"
I honestly don't know |
Deathconscious
11.28.16 | Going to be full of bullshit but hopefully they manage to do something interesting with it. |
TVC15
11.28.16 | "Going to be full of bullshit but hopefully they manage to do something interesting with it."
The guys from Joy Division said the bio-pic Control had inaccuracies but admitted the movie made it much more interesting than what happened in real life. I've been hoping this movie goes the same way, it largely sticks to what happened but with enough creative differences that does not completely interfere with the truth. Although Fenriz also panned Control so what do I know |
Gmork89
11.28.16 | The original black metal guys are mostly negative about everything, they would hate this regardless of who made it, who was in it, what it was based on. It could be written/directed by Dead and Euronymous' reanimated bodies in conjunction with Tarantino and Scorsese, Daniel-Day Lewis plays every character, and those guys would still denounce everything about it |
Nazzadan
11.28.16 | It's been 4 years since Lincoln, time for Daniel Day Lewis to come out for his bi-decade movie that wins every award ever |
Gmork89
11.28.16 | Daniel-Day Lewis should play a young Varg Vikernes |
Nazzadan
11.28.16 | I ate your cornflakes!
I ate them up! |
Gmork89
11.28.16 | "I ate your cornflakes!"
I just pictured DDL with long blonde hair and corpse paint yelling this |
TVC15
11.28.16 | DiCaprio could be Varg |
Deathconscious
11.28.16 | I. ATE. YOUR. CORNFLAKES. FFFFFFFTHRTHTHTHHFFFTHTTHHHSSSHHHHHPPPP |
Gmork89
11.28.16 | Liam Hemsworth can be Varg. |
zaruyache
11.28.16 | Willem Dafoe as Euronymous. |
Deathconscious
11.28.16 | to see Dafoe in corpse paint would be unsettling. |
TVC15
11.28.16 | JK Simmons as Hellhammer? |
AlexKzillion
11.29.16 | Hayden Christensen as Varg |
zaruyache
11.29.16 | I'd rather see a Jewish woman play Varg tbh. |
TVC15
11.29.16 | *Euronymous messes up riff on Pagan Fears at the Leipzig gig*
*JK/Hellhammer stops drumming* GODDAMMIT ØYSTEIN NOT MY TEMPO |
TVC15
12.21.16 | I thought this video was very interesting https://youtu.be/MtkHUJ0gRM0
Lol at the possibility of having a "lesbian midget feminist" playing Hellhammer |
zaruyache
12.21.16 | he doesn't want someone to play him in a movie if that person has a jewish-y last name rofl. Varg knows most Western Jews are indistinguishable from non-Jewish whites, right? Guessss notttttt. |
Alastor
12.21.16 | Glad to hear they can't use the original music in the film. They might end up using the Hardwired album foreal. |
zaruyache
12.21.16 | thought for sure varg was gonna say he gave them the rights to use his prison ambient albums and nothing else heh |
TVC15
12.21.16 | Yeah not being able to use any of their music should be the last nail in the coffin. Unless if they're like doing a Live in Zeitz or something and distort the audio to the point of being unrecognizable because of how loud the band is playing |
zaruyache
12.21.16 | just get some mayhem ripoff band to play the same style, then pretend they're just mayhem rehearsals/demos. |
TVC15
12.21.16 | ^honestly that may be even worse than having none of the originals music be available |
Nazzadan
12.21.16 | Oh man, how great would it be if they just never play?
The whole movie takes place not at shows. It'd be the fucking worst, I love it. |
zaruyache
12.21.16 | have another Norwegian band play at a show; have mayhem talk about how untrve they are. |
Nazzadan
12.21.16 | "Look at their big dumb sunglasses. Ugh." |
Gmork89
12.21.16 | Varg and the original black metal guys are so negative about everything it's hilarious. |
romulanrancor
12.21.16 | big glasses very important |
TVC15
12.21.16 | I don't blame them for being grumpy tbh |
SCREAM!
12.21.16 | "Varg and the original black metal guys are so negative about everything it's hilarious."
I mean BM wouldn't really be the same otherwise |
Gmork89
12.21.16 | That's fair. |
zaruyache
12.21.16 | Abbath and Fenriz seem like pretty up-beat guys tho. Just when you try to make a movie about the scene they get cranky. |
TVC15
01.08.17 | This Death Archives book by Necrobutcher sounds very interesting and it seems to be a much better document on Mayhem and second wave black metal than Lords of Chaos anyway from what I'm seeing. Shout out to a fellow black metal lover on Imgur for making me aware of this
Fucking dammit the book isn't available anywhere in the US |
