'Game of Thrones' star Rose Leslie has been cast in a key role in the action-drama 'The Last Druid'. Andreas Pietschmann, known for 'Nuremberg', and Daniel Zovatto, recognized for 'Don't Breathe', have also joined the project, which already features Oscar winner Russell Crowe.
The film follows a Roman Emperor who discovers a secluded Druid stronghold in the mountains of Caledonia. A peaceful Celtic elder, played by Crowe, must take up arms to protect his family and people from annihilation, as reported by Deadline.
William Eubank, director of 'Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin', is helming the film from a script co-written by Eubank, Phil Gawthorne ('Modern Life is Rubbish'), and Carlyle Eubank ('Muzzle').
The production team includes producers Adrian Guerra ('Buried'), Brian Kavanaugh-Jones ('Longlegs'), Fred Berger ('La La Land'), and Ben Pugh ('The Courier'). Executive producers are Nuria Valls, Xavier Parache, AJ Bourscheid, Brandon Millan, Sam Wasson, George Hsieh, and Stuart Ford.
As previously revealed by Deadline, Stuart Ford's AGC has pre-sold the film in multiple international markets, including to Amazon for a handful of territories. The company will continue negotiations at this week's Cannes market.
