Twilight Actor To Star As Varg Vikernes
/ News / 26/05/2009 18:00pm
A star from the teeny Vampire flick is to star as the former Burzum frontman. Thoughts?
Jackson Rathbone, who plays vampire Jasper Hale in the teenage vampire series, will play the man who is still behind bars for the murder of 1993 murder of Mayhem guitarist Oystein Aarseth.
The movie will be entitled Lords Of Chaos,based on the Michael Moynihan and Didrik Soderlind’s book of the same name, and will be directed by Sion Sono.
The film will begin shooting in Norway this September.





MH Varg is not behind bars any more.
Also I initially thought this was a joke..sadly, I was mistaken.
When’d Varg get out?
This rather beggar’s belief…
@ Naikee
As far as i know he is still in prison but is being released this year. And what happens in the book anyway?
He has been released:

Also, the book is just an exaggerated take on the black metal scene in Norway in the early 90’s, best avoided. Varg was against the book too, so I doubt he’ll be happy about this…
That’s actually hilarious.
bet he’s never heard of Burzum, Mayhem, Immortal, Emperor or Gorgoroth…i don’t understand how he got involved in something like this
That book was fucking excellent *. Vikernes is still a bit wack you know.
As for the upcoming movie, it might be interesting. Who will play Euronymous?
watching Sam Dunns metal documentarys it talks about the crazy shit he did and hes fucked up.
Well, hopefully this’ll get the teenie hordes interested in listening to real music. Though it’ll probably just end up in Burzum and such becoming ‘fashionable’ amongst 12 year old.
Haaaaaaaahahahahahaha …. awesome maybe all those Twilight fans will ditch the Jonas Bros and get into Burzum instead ………… NOT!!!! lol
This is a disgrace. I thought it was a joke to but guess not. This is going to make Varg a “celebrity”. This is just so wrong.
Last I heard Varg was out and being lined-up for the Velvet Revolver gig. I think…
This is killer!! There’s this chick who’s pants I’ve been trying to get into for ages and she just goes stupid whenever this guy is mentioned. She’s seen Twighlight way too many times and she thinks I’m well dodgy for the music I listen to. Can’t wait to tell her about this.
@Kris.
This will not make Varg a celebrity, it will just make him more notorious. Anyway racist, church burning, murdering fags do not usually become celebrities.

I’m loving the Father Christmas look he’s rocking these days!! He’s sold his soul to Santa…
Naikee – Thats why i put in in quotations. He’ll be, well, more infamous for it now thanks to a twilight actor playing him. Varg will become a household name. Everyone will know him now. Maybe his music will become more popular, maybe if that happens he might release a new album in a more comercial direction. I hope not but this film can only be bad right?
i saw twilight…..I WANT MY £7.50 BACK!!!!!
I see where you are coming from, but if his music were to become more popular I don’t see how that is a problem.
People really need to lighten up with black metal being the elite club.
I know this film seems bad but i doubt it will be a big movie..probably a very low budget film..
um, what?
how the hell can a comment be too short? >:(
what the fuck that guy cant act
I dont have a problem with the music becoming more popular its just he might be tempted to “sell out” if it was to be hit.
Twilight’s pretty gay.
Hahahahahaha ha ha ha…
Sorry :’)
PAHAHAHAHAHA.
this will either be an amazing film or a realy unspeakbly bad film there is no middle ground for stuff like this and casting the dip shit with the werid head from that film that shall not be named just makes me think this will be over the top over dramtic bullshit
wow thats fucking stupid… incredibly idiotic… If this is supposed to be appealing to us the metal audience… terrible fucking choice what a fucking whoever was the casting director what a fucking idiot
NOOOOOOFUCKSHEYADS”!!! DONT FUKKEN MAKE THIS MOVIE! now we’r gonna get a bunch of 12yo twilight fans running around with burzum shirts “lol look at me im satanic lol i dont eve know what blackmetal is about but i saw a movie with it so now i love it teehee :3″ ejshffsakf i promise if this happends im gonna burn every church i can, kill every fukken kid i see and than shoot myself.
I wish i could become one of the actors for twilight
No wonder! Varg is so pissed off with the media, he’s going to hate this so much. And this very film is based on a book which got it all completely wrong also. Why not base it on Vargs story about it? From the actual person? It would be honest then. If they go on about satanism through the whole film. I’m going to scream.
