Viking and alien worlds collide on Blu-ray and DVD on 31 August when Momentum Pictures awakens the beast in Outlander. In 709AD, a space craft streaks across the night sky and crash lands in a Norwegian fjord. From its wreckage emerge, Kainan (Jim Caviezel) a soldier from a far away planet and a deadly alien stowaway, the Moorwen. Before he has a chance to track down the Moorwen, Kainan is captured by Viking warrior, Wulfric (Jack Huston) and held prisoner in the local village led by King Rothgar (John Hurt).

Grudgingly accepted into the clan after saving Rothgar's life, Kainan confides in Rothgar's fiercely beautiful daughter, Freya (Sophia Myles) about his past. As the Moorwen wreaks terror and destruction on neighbouring villages, the threat of conflict between the clans escalates and Kainan is called upon to kill the creature.

Aware of their prey's strength, Kainan and Wulfric fuse advanced alien technology with Viking Iron Age weaponry. Joining forces with the bloodthirsty Gunnar (Ron Perlman), they lead one last mission to seek out and slay the Moorwen. In the face of the Viking's destruction, the tale of Kainan becomes legend.

Described as a cross between Alien and Beowulf, this exhilarating event-status battle of two worlds is brought to you by the producers of The Lord Of The Rings trilogy and features special effects from the teams behind Pitch Black, I, Robot and 10,000 B.C.

Available on DVD and Blu-ray, the film is accompanied on both formats by a Viking army of special features including an audio commentary, making of featurette, deleted scenes, visual effects tests, animatics, artwork galleries and a trailer.
