August 21, 20187 yr In November Netflix is releasing a trilogy on Robert the Bruce, telling his story to a worldwide audience for the first time. It should be pretty good and Chris Pine pulls off a Scottish accent much better than Mel Gibson did. and unlike Braveheart, this one should be alot more historically accurate. In February, another Robert The Bruce film is coming out starring Angus MacFadyen who played Robert the Bruce in Braveheart. This is an unofficial sequel to Braveheart that Angus has been working on and filming for the past 11 years, since he has been wanting to tell the Bruce's story since starring in the Mel Gibson film. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2214341/angus-macfadyen-reviving-role-of-robert-the-bruce-in-braveheart-sequel/ Edited August 21, 20187 yr by Shmitty
August 21, 20187 yr Author Just now, Parliament said: MacFadden stole every scene he was in, and he deserves his own movie. Yes he does. He was without a doubt, the most true to character actor in that film.
August 21, 20187 yr Im down for both of these. Not the biggest Pine Fan but looks like a good cast. Agree with Parliament about Mcfadden
August 23, 20187 yr Hollywood seems to do this a lot where a story/movie gets in motion, then another studio somehow comes up with a very similar subject and makes their own movie about it. I assume it's because some studio exec gets pitched an idea, they don't want to pay for it, and they instead make their own version of it. It can't be coincidence.
August 23, 20187 yr I think it's more of a spend less on marketing and try and piggyback on the other movie's hype.

August 23, 20187 yr I recently read this: It is written in a fairly tedious fashion, but it was very interesting. Robert the Bruce was a very interesting guy, plenty of source material for an interesting film. I hope one of these doesn’t suck! Partial to Angus from Braveheart, personally

November 9, 20187 yr Watched 15 minutes of Outlaw King over lunch. Will watch whole thing. Wondering if Netflix will continue their trend of including an orgy. If they are willing to do it with a teen horror show, I’m pretty sure there was plenty of decadence around King Edward. I do wish this has been a series, even if just 4 or 5 parts.

I don't think Eddie Senior was a dilly-dillier. He was a fervently religious man who would have probably executed homosexuals. However, as seen in the movie, his son was possibly a dandy - it really isn't known if he was boning Pers Gaveston (the nobleman who in the movie was "skilled in the arts of war" or if they were sworn brothers (a Medieval thing) or even semi-adoptive brothers. Anyway in real life, Ed Senior didn't push Pers out of a window... he lived a lot longer than that. However the Barons around Ed Junior wanted the guy gone, they were tired of his (in their opinions) undue influence, and they exiled him. Ed Junior revoked some pacts with them in return, and called for him back from exile. That led to Barons' displeasure and in fact a war was started over that. The Barons finally had Pers executed in 1312 and Ed Junior lost of course to Bruce in Bannockburn 2 years later.

This; Edward reportedly had a close relationship with his first queen, Eleanor of Castile. After she died, he had twelve "Eleanor Crosses" erected at each of the stopping points her body made on its final journey to Lincoln to London.

Close enough for me!
November 10, 20187 yr Another racist, nationalist movie celebrating privileged, white, Christian, straight men.

November 10, 20187 yr 15 mins in, had to post that the music used is really really good. And I’m hooked
November 10, 20187 yr I wonder if it would have seemed like a bigger movie if seen for the first time in a theater.
November 11, 20187 yr 7 minutes ago, YChang said: Felt like a rushed movie That’s because it deserved at least 2-3 times the amount of screen time it got, given the period it covered. Would have made a great mini-series.
November 11, 20187 yr 1 hour ago, YChang said: Felt like a rushed movie maybe they rushed it to beat the other one.
November 11, 20187 yr Damn I wanted it to be longer. I love this type of stuff. Lol at “ what’s my fucking name!”
November 11, 20187 yr Thought it was an easy 2-hour watch...nothing incredibly memorable but liked it nonetheless. Oh, and nice tits.
November 11, 20187 yr Also paired were The Sixth Sense and Stir of Echos. Both movies where kids see the dead people. Stir of Echos is a great movie
November 12, 20187 yr The Loudoun Hill battle scenes were goddam epic. And, yes, it would have made a good miniseries.

November 13, 20187 yr If you like Chris Pine's ass, this is the movie for you. Otherwise, it was pretty meh.
November 14, 20187 yr Liked it a lot, but like a lot of y’all I think it would have been better Served as a miniseries. Felt rushed
