MGM Studios & Fox Home Entertainment Bringing HISTORY’S ‘VIKINGS’ series to Norsk Høstfest in October
The VIKINGS are invading Norsk Høstfest in Minot, North Dakota!
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Fox Home Entertainment To Bring HISTORY’s® Highest-Rated Freshman Drama Series to Blu-ray™ and DVD October 15th, 2013.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. (MGM) and Fox Home Entertainment are bringing HISTORY’s highest-rated freshman drama series, “VIKINGS”, to Norsk Høstfest in Minot, North Dakota.
At Norsk Høstfest, festival goers will be able to pre-purchase ”VIKINGS” Season 1 Blu-rayTM and DVD in advance of the Oct. 15 release date for an in-home delivery. With purchase of the “VIKINGS” Season 1 Blu-rayTM and DVD, customers will receive (while supplies last) limited-edition collectible lenticular cards that are exclusive to Norsk Høstfest and San Diego Comic-con.
The series, created and written by Michael Hirst (“The Tudors”, “Elizabeth”), is the story about history’s bravest and most brutally fearsome warriors – the Vikings. Starring Travis Fimmel (The Beast, The Experiment), Golden Globe® winner Gabriel Byrne (The Usual Suspects, Miller’s Crossing) and Katheryn Winnick (Love and Other Drugs, Bones), “VIKINGS” chronicles the epic adventures of notorious Norse hero Ragnar Lothbrok (Fimmel), a Viking warrior who yearns to explore – and raid – the distant shores of the ocean. “VIKINGS” also stars George Blagden (Wrath of the Titans), Jessalyn Gilsig (Glee), Gustaf Skarsgard (The Way Back), and Clive Standen (Camelot).
MGM and Fox Home Entertainment will also bring VIKINGS ambassadors to the festival who will be in full VIKINGS costume and roaming the halls of Norsk Høstfest.
“We are pleased to bring VIKINGS to the 2013 Norsk Høstfest,” said Pam Davy, Norsk Høstfest Executive Director. “This is a great opportunity to have such a new, successful television series that focuses on the heart of the Viking culture at the festival.”
