Some sources differ about who came up with the idea for the film, with some crediting director Robert Eggers, whereas Movie Insider claims that actor Alexander Skarsgård conceived it. Eggers and Skarsgård later clarified in separate interviews with Den of Geek and NY Times that it was a lot of both, but mostly Skarsgård: he had always wanted to do a Viking film, and had been working on a story outline with producer Lars Knudsen for years, without much progress. Eggers had visited Iceland a few years before, and although he had little interest in Viking history, he had fallen in love with the Icelandic landscape. He met with singer Björk (who would later play the Seeress), who introduced him to writer Sjón and his books about Icelandic witchcraft, which greatly fascinated Eggers. During a meet-up between Skarsgård and Eggers for a different project, Skarsgård constantly brought up his Viking movie, and pitched his vision to Eggers, who became very receptive to the idea due to Skarsgård's enthusiasm; he suggested to bring in Sjón, and only later did they pitch an adaptation of the Scandinavian legend 'Amleth' to Skarsgård, who agreed.
