London, Jan 20 (ANI): Hollywood actor Mel Gibson is planning to make a film on Vikings raid in England and Scotland in the ninth century.

The language of the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio will be true to the period and will include subtitles.

“I think it’s going to be [in] English - the English that would have been spoken back then - and Old Norse. Whatever the ninth century had to offer. I’m going to give you real,” the Telegraph quoted Gibson as saying.

“The very first idea I ever had about making a film was when I was 16 years old and I wanted to make a Viking movie. And I wanted to make it in Old Norse, which I was studying at the time. That was the first big, epic, wacky idea I ever had,” he added.

Gibson has earlier made ‘The Passion of the Christ’ in a mix of Aramaic, Latin and Hebrew, while Apocalypto had a script entirely in Mayan.

The ‘Braveheart’ star plans to include unsparingly violent scenes for added realism.

“I want a Viking to scare you. I don’t want a Viking to say, ‘I’m going to die with a sword in my hand’,” he said.

“I want to see somebody who I have never seen before speaking low, guttural German who scares the living —- out of me coming up to my house,” he added. (ANI)
