Chris Pine and Ben Foster Are Reuniting with HELL OF HIGH WATER Director For OUTLAW KING
Chris Pine and Ben Foster are going to team back up with Hell or High Water director David Mackenzie for an awesome sounding new movie called Outlaw King. This is a period epic that will tell the true story of the Scottish king, Robert The Bruce, who led his country to freedom from English rule in the early 14th century.
It sounds to me like the story will pick up where Mel Gibson's Braveheart left off as Robert The Bruce rushes into battle to engage in war with the English. He fought alongside William Wallace in the revolt against Edward I of England. Braveheart is one of my favorite movies of all time and I've always found the history of Scotland interesting so I'm completely sold on this film!
According to THR, Pine would take on the role of the Scottish king while Foster is in talks to play knight James Douglas, who is Robert The Bruce's loyal aide. Both of these actors would be amazing in these roles.
Mackenzie wrote the screenplay for the film, which is scheduled to shoot on location in Scotland this summer. I love what this team of talent did with Hell or High Water. It was one of my favorite films last year. I have no doubt that they are going to give us an incredibly epic film that tells this historic story.
