Trio Join Russell Crowe vs. Romans Film “Druid”

20th Century Studios

Rose Leslie (“Game of Thrones”), Andreas Pietschmann (“Nuremberg”) and Daniel Zovatto (“Don’t Breathe”) will join Russell Crowe in the action-drama “The Last Druid”.

Just over a quarter century since “Gladiator,” Crowe will once again take on the Roman Empire in this story about a Roman Emperor who discovers a secluded Druid stronghold in the mountains of Caledonia.

Crowe will play a peaceful Celtic elder who must take up arms to protect his family and people from annihilation.

William Eubank (“Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin”) is directing from a script by Eubank, Phil Gawthorne (“Modern Life is Rubbish”) and Carlyle Eubank (“Muzzle”).

Also onboard are cinematographer Agustin Claramunt “(Land of Bad”), production designer Laia Colet (“Bird Box: Barcelona”), costume designer Alberto Valcárcel (“The Embassy”), and VFX supervisor Pau Costa (“Den of Thieves: Pantera”).

Adrián Guerra, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Fred Berger and Ben Pugh produce. Filming will begin on June 8th in Barcelona and the Canary Islands.
