Though he is slated to be released from prison soon after spending 16-years behind bars on murder and arson charges, Varg Vikernes of Burzum remains one of the most controversial men in black metal. Now his story can be told once and for all — from the mouth of a teenage heartthrob.
[Lords Of Chaos book cover]
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.
Read the full story, and Varg’s comments on Lords Of Chaos here.
This… if they go through with this film starring this fucker as motherfucking Count Grischnack… Black metal will finish its ongoing process of becoming a commodity, something to be sold to the blind masses… Thousands of dumbshit pre-teen girls who would otherwise be going to the fucking mall will watch this, Burzum, Mayhem, Darkthrone and all the others will become household names… This must be stopped… It is already bad enough with Dimmu Borgir and Cradle Of Filth out there selling the genre out… It should be the joint missions of every single fan of true black metal to stop this shit before its too late…
I’d be cool with this movie if Varg was supported it, and Ill bet he isn’t. Its a complete commercialization of tragic and unfortunate events.
Varg has already spoken out against it on his website.
Unfortunately, they don’t need his permission to come out with the movie.
Whats worse; is that it’s that guy from twilight. This movie will be huge. He doesn’t even look like Varg- they couldn’t even get that right.
No good will come of this.
Theres already too many scene kids at Black Metal shows….
now they will be everywhere.
Black metal is more than this, black metal is more than music
and for some cunt to try to make money off this is bullshit
Black metal isnt somthing anyone can listen to, you have to feel i, to be it
black metal is dark and not somthing that should be thrown to the public, it should be somthing you find, thats all i need to say
I don’t know, seems like a from beyond Euronymus revenge, of course, Euronymus has been laughing too loud of this , Varg Vikernes personified for a girlie boy and the bad news won’t be funny for the count, besides he always been angry with the book and the movie, in other point, actually bands as Mayhem, Satyricon, Marduk etc, etc, are involved in a “mainstreamnization” process so, they change to a radical position to a political correctness, instead as bands as Ad Hominem, Urgehal, Satanic Warmaster the support political extreme ideologies, however, they still in the underground, as cult bands, but not looking a massive sales record, if the industry push them to “rearrange” their music to become in a commercial shit, Dimmu borgir, Cradle of Fag only is the comercial an unsubtancious consecuence when black metal deny the roots.
I would give anything for this movie not to be made. I have given 15 years to this art and if/when this comes out I will be done with it. I wish something bad would happen to the right person that would end this movie before it comes out. Fuck all of you for this
This Movie Is A Piece Of Shit… Designed By A Bunch Ov Capitalist Fucks. Black Metal Is Dead And Only A Real Retard Will Watch A Teen Idol Play as Varg Vilkernes.
This Idea To Make This Movie Kills Me, And Only A Retard Will Go Pay To Watch A Movie Designed Around A Book That We All Have Read. FUCK YOU MOTHER FUCKERS THAT SUPPORT THIS MOVIE. GO EAT YOUR GRANDMAS PUSSY !!!
BLACK METAL IS DEAD AND SO IS THIS LAME IDEA FOR A MOVIE!!! FUCK YOU!!!AND FUCK THIS MOVIE!!
The genre/religion of black metal is stronger than this. Yes there will be teenie boppers chugging this down like jizz but hey, fuck them. None of us who have been around for the past 15 years have to go see it. Keep the fire alive in our hearts!
No use letting what is thrust upon us dampen the flames of our passion. Sacred it shall remain.
That’s a disaster for Black Metal. It makes me want to puke. I disagree on black metal being dead. Black Metal the way it was born is dead. It evolved in something that is not better or worse, just different, we had plenty of great new bands releasing in the last few years, and a fucking commercial movie won’t change the music. Just the fans getting more and more stupid.
They better not make a lame movie like this. It will be nothing but lies and bullshit anyways. If they make it, then I will burn hollywood.
This is rediculous they are basterdizing the genre. All of those Holister and twilight assholes will think they know metal, think they are somehow similar to us. I find this repulsive. I say all the true fans of black metal band together and show their support for Varg and the hate for this movie and what it is to do to the lives we have. Band together burn the churches, kill all christians. Let Hollywood know that if they release this movie they will have an apocalypse of black matel upon them.
I’ve been watching Star Trek since I was 6 years old and love science fiction.
Gayest. Thing. EVER.
This is beyond awful in every sense of the word. Black Metal has been demonized from societies since it first came out, and now, here they are trying to make profit from Varg’s story. This is complete and utter bullshit. Not to mention, they’re using some faggot ass pretty boy to play Count Grischnack! Kids that won’t ever even begin to understand Black Metal will flock to see this movie simply because of that very reason. Sickening. Hollywood needs to stay the fuck out of the underground, and stick with their shitty repetitive plot lines. But hell, anything to make money!
Hey Idiots,
Guy pulled out like, ten days ago.

Now if only your parents had done the same.
I love Twilight! I can’t wait for Twilight Eclipse! I’m so in love with Taylor Lautner, lol.
I still believe that the first movie was better, but New Moon certainly wins in eye candy lol
This was awesome
any body that thinks this would be a good movie for the masses is freakin retarded. a movie about the count, (one of the most insane artists of all time) is really pointless besause the real stuff that actualy about him is to evil and true for all the homo twilight fans out there. so there going to have to change crap around so its pretty much a watered down fairy tale (with a little less glitter) and is going to be some romance crap. all of this is going to ruin black metal. and i am going to do everything in my power to stop this film.
This is a big no-no. This movie cant follow through. Holy crap first of all twilight sucks balls. It has to be one of the most retarded movie Ive ever seen. And for some so called “Twilight Hearthrob” to portray one of the most notorious men in black metal..Well its just completely absurd. It pisses me off more than anything. This has to be put to an end.
This is fucking stupid and uncalled for. Anyone who knows a bit about Varg Vikernes and his art should know that he will not be represented in this movie whatsoever. The completely wrong percepted image that the media made out of him will.
Mr. Vikernes has nothing to do with what the black metal scene has developed into. Since a very long time.
It is time the media moguls leave the man be to make his art instead of just hunting him down and using his name to sell their useless and uncredential articles and (or) movies.
He just served 16 years in prison and is now with his wife and children so give the man a break! Let him have some piece and quiet.
If you really want to know about him then you should buy his art instead of funding these pathetic attempts to commercialize his persona.
Sincere greetings and fuck you’s!
HAHAHAH….i am actually from Norway, my friends really tried to set a church on fire,and with this act black metal will be reached to the masses…the anti establishment becomes the establishment…sad to say kids, black metal is dead.
Well before all you black metal kids shit your pants let me tell you all a little something about the film industry that will make you feel better. This is most likely going to be a small indie film which will play in very limited markets and no one will see it. Tweens and twilight kids will not flock to it just because some dude from Twilight is in it. These kids are insanely obsessed with that asshat Rob Pattinson and they still didn’t go see his shitty movie Remember Me. True, the casting is asinine but it will be a small release for a niche market. It will not take black metal into the mainstream and even if it was a huge movie it is highly doubtful it would take black metal into the mainstream because it is far to abrasive for the average listener to enjoy. There, you can all go back to your dungeons and rest a little easier knowing this stupid movie won’t ruin your metal lifestyle.
