Nicole Kidman, Alexander Skarsgard to reunite for Robert Eggers' 'The Northman'

"Big Little Lies" co-stars Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skarsgard are teaming up once again for filmmaker Robert Eggers' new project "The Northman". The film is Eggers follow-up project to indie thriller "The Lighthouse", starring Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe in the lead, which will bow out in the US on Friday.

"The Northman" is being described as a Viking revenge saga set in Iceland at the turn of the 10th century, reported Variety. Skarsgard's brother, "It" star Bill Skarsgard, as well as actors Anya Taylor-Joy and Dafoe are in negotiations to join the cast.

Eggers will helm the movie from a script with Icelandic poet and novelist Sjon. Lars Knudsen, best known for producing Ari Aster's "Midsommar", is backing the film.
