Outlander: More Viking Goodness! This time with Aliens!
I got wind of a film that has been in the works for quite some time but has escaped my radar a bit. It is called Outlander and stars Jesus (James Caviezel, John Hurt, and Ron Perlman. This film is not to be confused with 2007's Karl Urban film Pathfinder (although the look is quite similar). The plot synopsis is this:
During the reign of the Vikings, Kainan (Caviezel), a man from a far-off world, crash lands on Earth, bringing with him an alien predator known as the Moorwen. Though both man and monster are seeking revenge for violence committed against them, Kainan leads the alliance to kill the Moorwen by fusing his advanced technology with the Viking's Iron Age weaponry.
Here I have an image from the film, a poster, and the new trailer that just made it's way onto the web. It looks a bit generic, but at least it has that rockin' plot of Vikings battling Aliens.

Funny you should mention the similarity to Pathfinder - Karl Urban was originally cast to play the lead in Outlander too but with the project getting delayed and Urban being offered a better role (McCoy in Star Trek) he pulled out.
