Filming it just getting started for the ever lovable Charlie Bewley as he tackles his latest project, Hammer of the Gods. Charlie will star in the role of Steiner, a Viking warrior off on a quest to find his estranged brother. Read more below:

Shooting is underway in London on Vertigo Films’ Viking story Hammer of the Gods, the debut from Farren Blackburn.

Set in Viking Britain in 871 AD, Hammer of the Gods is described as “a visceral, intense tale set in a world whose only language is violence”. The film will follow a young Viking warrior, Steinar (Charlie Bewley), sent by his father the King on a quest to find his estranged brother.

Charlie Bewley (Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 2, Like Crazy) stars as Steiner, aslongside Ivan Kaye (Layer Cake, Dark Shadows) and James Cosmo (Braveheart, Game Of Thrones). Matthew Read has written the script.

Producer Rupert Preston said of the project: “This will be an exciting, barbaric, stylish and heroic film that will entertain genre fans around the world.”

The six week shoot will take place in London and Wales.

It looks like the popularity of particular books and movies are continuing to influence expecting parents when they choose a baby name these days. Some of the most popular baby names, and those quickly rising in popularity can definitely be traced to the latest in pop culture. The current top names can be traced to Twilight, The Hunger Games, Game of Thrones, and Pretty Little Liars. In fact, currently the top two names are Isabella and Jacob. Does that sound familiar to anyone? Check out more from Clevver TV and Name Berry below:

Quite honestly my daughter came pretty close to becoming Éowyn from The Lord of the Rings. I was pretty set on that name for a daughter long before I ever even thought about having kids. She didn’t end up an Éowyn, and her given name definitely suits her, but it was a close one. I think if a certain author or character resonates with you and sticks with you in life, there can be some real meaning in giving that name to a baby. On the other hand, if it’s just a passing fade and you end up not even caring about that character, book or movie a few months later… perhaps you should have thought longer on your baby name!

What do you think of naming your children from characters in books and movies that you love?
