Jackson Rathbone of Twilight fame is set to play Varg Vikernes in the "Lords Of Chaos" movie

Jackson Rathbone of Twilight fame is set to play Varg Vikernes in the "Lords Of Chaos" movie

I can’t even make up something this fucking gay and retarded.  Here’s the story from Blabbermouth;

Jackson Rathbone, the teen heartthrob from “Twilight”, has reportedly agreed to play Varg Vikernes (a.k.a. Count Grishnackh) — the former BURZUM mastermind who is currently serving a Norwegian prison term for the August 1993 murder of MAYHEM guitarist Oystein Aarseth (a.k.a. Euronymous) and setting fire to three churches — in the upcoming movie “Lords Of Chaos”.

Based on Michael Moynihan and Didrik Soderlind’s book of the same name, the film depicts true events and revolves around the black metal sub-culture that spawned a wave of murders and church arsons across Norway in the early 1990s.

Making his English-language debut with “Lords Of Chaos” will be hot Japanese director Sion Sono.

Stuart Pollok of Los Angeles-based Saltire Entertainment, Ko Mori of Eleven Arts and Oh Jungwan of Korea’s Bom Productions are producing the film, which starts shooting in Norway in mid-September.

When asked why he chose to make the “Lords Of Chaos” movie, Pollok — who was in Cannes this past week to sell the project — told Dagbladet.no, “It’s a fascinating subject, a visually great world and a funny portrait of Norway. Quite possibly, black metal is Norway’s greatest cultural export of the last 20 years.”

Rathbone plays Jasper in Summit’s “Twilight” series and is currently shooting the lead role in M. Night Shyamalan’s $140-million “The Last Airbender” for Paramount Pictures.

In a 2004 statement posted on the Burzum.org web site, Vikernes slammed the “Lord Of Chaos” book as “a pool of mud,” insisting that “the vast majority of all the statements made in this book are either misinterpretations; taken out of context; misunderstandings; malicious lies made by enemies; a result of ignorance; extreme exaggerations; and/or third-hand information at best. This includes the statements attributed to me!” He went on to say, “This book serves only one single purpose and that is to create a myth around my name and to mystify me. If that was their objective they have indeed succeeded with their work. Well, the book seems to have served one other purpose too. The authors have managed to fill the heads of a generation of metal fans with lies. What could have been a righteous revolt has been made into some pathetic, embarrassing, brain-dead, impotent and traditional poser-culture best exemplified by bands like DIMMU BORGIR — and indeed VENOM!”

If we’re all lucky, Varg will be released from prison soon and kill them all and save the world from future gay vampire movies.  Maybe he could also kill himself while he’s at it so we don’t have to keep listening to his idiotic rants.

    holy shit!

  • UpInSmoke

    Does this douche bag playing Varg even listen to black metal?

      Was Sylvester Stallone an expert on policing the future before he filmed Demolition Man? It’s called acting.

  • Dysenteric

    The line of total retardedness has been crossed. Truly unbelievable.

  • Kvlt

    I would much rather wait for “Until the Light Takes Us”. It’s probably the first full length Black Metal documentary. But aside from that you are dead on, I doubt that idiot listens to Black Metal and I hope he does kill him.

  • billsswills

    i hope he gives me some beer and a handful of cash

  • Jasad

      Out of the movie, or out of the closet? Or both? Because he’s clearly gay.

    You’ve got to be fucking shiting me…

    It’s bad enought the fag from Twilight is going to play the part…we have to still put up with the ‘success’ of the damn fucking horrid movie. Shoot me if I’m wrong…but that movie was horrible.

  • Ravisher

    I hate it when people make someone’s name big just because he’s done something disgustingly morbid, Varg Vikernes should be a nobody, that nazi scumbag piece of shit. Really … same as with Hitler, he fucks up the world for some time and years later he’s a freakin pop star.
    I wouldn’t waste my time with that piece of crap.

    About the guy playing his part, you gotta admit he looks kinda like him and when it comes to acting and movies, nobody gives a crap about wether he listens to music or even knows who that guy he’s playing is. As long as he can act and create an impression. Im guessing some black metal fans here would’ve liked to be in the movie instead haha..

  • Drarkayl

    he will be murdered by vikernes!!

  • swe3tmi5ery

    please kill him.

  • wesley

    wow,thats sad.im a big fan of varg’s work.but why? really.that is ganna make some out of some thing it’s not.everyone is ganna hate black metal.or the exact oposite.all the lame twilight nerds are ganna think they know what black metal is.and then im ganna have to kill some people.

  • A. Injeyan

    It strikes me as both sad and pathetic that the writers of “Lords of Chaos” (and now, those producing this proposed film) never bothered to consult Mr. Vikernes to either verify facts or get his side of the story. Sensationalism and emotion have superceded thorough research and objective journalism.
