Jackson Rathbone (známy tiež z "Twilight") nestvárni Varga Vikernesa v pripravovanom snímku "Lord Of Chaos", ako sa pôvodne plánovalo. Film, ktorý má byť nakrútený na základe rovnomennej knihy, sa chce pokúsiť zachytiť atmosféru nórskej blackmetalovej scény na začiatku deväťdesiatych rokov, pričom sa neplánuje vyhnúť ani téme vražd, či pálenia kostolov. O jeho réžiu by sa mal postarať debutujúci Japonec Sion Sono.

Vikernes si o filme myslí svoje:

"The first question that came into my mind when I heard about the plans for a "Lords Of Chaos" movie was "why?" Why on earth would anyone want to make a film based on that worthless book? How is it even possible when the book is made up of nothing but a number of inaccurate interviews, supplemented by unfounded claims and meaningless and utterly ignorant theories by the writers? When I saw that I was a character in the movie I was even more puzzled, and my next question was naturally, "can they even do that?" They never asked for my permission to use my name or my story.

"Now, they are apparently basing the story of this movie not on my story, but on the "Lords Of Chaos" story. Unfortunately the "Lords Of Chaos" story is not only nonsense; incoherent and utterly contradictive, but it is also very lacking in information regarding the lives and traits of the individuals to be included as characters in the movie. One could easily think that this would make it impossible for anybody to make a movie based on this book, but of course if you simply fill in the holes yourself...

"I honestly couldn"t care less about what this movie might do to the contemporary black metal scene, or what it might do to any other metal scene for that sake, so I am not even going to discuss that. Being an egocentric and egotistical bastard I naturally only care about what this movie might do to me, and you know what? It cannot hurt me, no matter what. It can only increase my market value, so to speak, making it easier for me to sell more albums, publish and sell more books, and so forth, so... It"ll give me even more freedom to do what I want. If I want to I can always tell the true story myself, later on, and even more individuals will be interested in the true story if these guys make the movie. I don"t know if they have considered this, or if they care at all, but this is a fact.

"Now, I really don"t like it when others spread lies about me, and I can tell my truth well enough without their movie promoting my name, so if the movie is a complete failure I will only be happy. If it is a success I will also be happy because that will increase my market value even more. So; good luck, guys, or don"t... I really don"t care. It"s a win-win situation for me."
