Outlaw King - upcoming Netflix movie on Robert the Bruce
« on: 21 August 2018, 09:50:44 AM »
Found this somewhere:



Can't remember the last trailer of a historical series or movie that felt decent, but this one seems really rather promising. Sure, some fire arrows and a thrown axe (hopefully not to be used against Bohun at Bannockburn), but actual period-correct equipment? Decent accents? Heck, decent acting? I'm starting to rather look forward to this - it might actually be good.  8)

Looks promising … but I'll try not to get too excited.

I was all excited about a new Arthurian movie coming out … until I saw the trailers.

Then I was all excited about a new Robin Hood movie coming out … until I saw the trailers.

This one actually looks okay, although I'm not a big fan of Chris Pine.

I'm hoping for the best...so few medieval movies that I am willing to accept a little "Hollywood" in them.

Surely they should all be wearing kilts and blue warpaint?

Hell or High Water was a really good film. Looking forward to this!

If it's untold, I wonder how they know it?

Yes, I loved the "untold Story" part. Right, no one ever has written anything about Robert The Bruce before.

However, is accurate on the impact on his family. Bruce lost most of his family being killed and abused by his enemies.

Look, if we can't trust Hollywood to tell authentic historical truth without embellishment or outrights lies, who can we trust?

Untold by Hollywood perhaps? If you discount the part he played in Braveheart...
