Having portrayed the role in 1995’s Braveheart, actor Angus Macfadyen is set for a second outing as the legendary Scottish king and warrior Robert the Bruce in a new historical epic from Australian filmmaker Richard Gray (Sugar Mountain).
Based on a script by Macfadyen and Eric Belgau, Robert the Bruce picks up where Braveheart left off and follows the widow Moira and her child, niece and nephew who save the King of Scotland.
Also featuring in the cast alongside Macfadyen are Jared Harris (The Crown), Patrick Fugit (Almost Famous), Emma Kenney (Shameless), Anna Hutchison (Spartacus), Diarmaid Murtagh (Vikings), Talitha Bateman (Geostorm), Gabriel Bateman (Benji), Seoras Wallace (Braveheart), Shane Coffey (Pretty Little Liars), Kevin McNally (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Melora Walters (Magnolia).
Macfadyen, Gray and Hutchison are producing the film alongside Kim Barnard, Nick Farnell, Cameron Nuggent and Andrew Curry.
