Viggo Mortensen hasn't been tapped to appear as Aragorn in the next Lord of the Rings movie , but his newest movie does feature him wielding Andúril, the sword of the king. The actor, who starred in and directed The Dead Don't Hurt, admitted that when the story called for a sword, he decided to ask Peter Jackson if it would be okay for him to just...use the one he had hanging around the house.
The movie isn't a swords-and-sorcery film, but rather a cowboy romance -- but there's still one scene that calls for a sword, and if you've got one of the best, why not use it? "We had everything for this sequence with a knight," Mortensen told GQ."Everything was right, and then I said, well, we should have a sword. And I did look and there were some good ones and I thought, well, it might be kind of good to use that I had because it's really good."The Dead Don't Hurt is a story of star-crossed lovers on the western U.S. frontier in the 1860s.
You can see the film in select theaters now. You can also preorder it on Digital at participating retailers like Fandango at Home and Prime Video.
