If you didn't get your fix of Scottish history with Netflix's Outlaw King then you're in luck.
Returning to the tale of Robert the Bruce, this new film picks up where Braveheart left off and features the same actor who played the role in the iconic Mel Gibson film and in this exclusive first trailer we have a look at the drama we will soon experience.
In Scotland 1306, Robert the Bruce crowns himself King and takes the ambition of Scotland’s freedom as his own. But he cannot overcome England’s power: defeated again and again, his army is scattered and Scotland’s nobility abandons him. Hunted, with a price on his head, he finds himself alone and wounded. The cause of freedom seems lost once more.
Hidden secretly in a secluded croft of a clan pledged to England, and close to death Robert is nursed back to life by a young widow and her orphaned children. His determination to do what is right, regardless of the cost, reinvigorates his passion to rise again. But it’s not revenge he desires. It’s freedom. Now.
The film also stars Podrick Payne himself Daniel Portman from Game of Thrones, Anna Hutchinson (Cabin in the Woods), Jared Harris (The Crown and Chernobyl), Zach McGowan (Black Sails, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Patrick Fugit (Almost Famous), Kevin McNally (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Emma Kenney (Shameless) and featuring original music from Scottish national treasure, Lulu.
The film is due to premiere at Edinburgh Film Festival on June 23, 2019.
