Forget Dark Knight, Watch Astropia

Has anyone heard of Astropia, an Icelandic fantasy movie (aka the rather morbid Dorks and Damsels). It's this absolutely awesome movie on the net; when I checked the synopsis of Astropia from IMDB, my WOW sensors started to go tingly. Now this sounds like the kinda fantasy Hordes and Alliance Players would rant about.


Summary of Astropia story that I scavenged from the net:

A snobbish girl, Hildur, has to ditch her pretentious lifestyle and get a life - also known as going through the classifieds for a job. She ends up in this fantasy bookshop with super cool work colleagues - Dagur a translator of romantic fiction, Scat a rapper who makes his nerdlyness look cool, the comic and video clerks Floki and Pesi, the violent tomboy Beta and an eight year old whizkid Snorri (Imdb.com)

Not entirely sure what happens next BUT there's mention of battles with Orcs, swish swash and gory evilness! When I say epic battles think something more creative, perhaps anime, as opposed to the more traditional American skimpy babe rubbish. Yea, from what I read, the ditzy gal ends up building character instead of her ultimate goal being movie-defined-love through some pretty boy.
