During our interview with Kristanna Loken she mentioned that she was starring in DARK KINGDOM: THE DRAGON KING, a mini-series based on a German myth that would play on the SciFi Channel. Today the SciFi folks dropped some info on the project and when it will run.
First let’s get the skinny on what it’s all about – Based on the German myth that was one of the inspirations for J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, the miniseries centers on Eric (Benno Fuermann), a young blacksmith who is unaware that his true identity is actually Siegfried, the orphaned heir to a conquered kingdom. When an asteroid strikes the Earth, it sets off a chain of events that sends Eric on an adventure to discover his destiny. He encounters his true love, the Norse warrior Queen Brunhild (Loken), becomes a hero to the Burgunds after slaying the much-feared dragon Fafnir and is rewarded with the ancient treasure trove the beast protected: the treasure of the Nibelungs. Eric ignores warnings of a curse placed on the treasure, an act that ultimately endangers his love for Brunhild and the reclaiming of his birthright.
Gotta say it sounds like fun. You can check it out on March 27 and 28 at 9pm Eastern. Until then, just enjoy the pics of Kristanna.
