EXCLUSIVE: Rose Leslie (Game Of Thrones), Andreas Pietschmann (Nuremberg), and Daniel Zovatto (Don’t Breathe) are joining Oscar winner Russell Crowe in action-drama The Last Druid, which will begin production on June 8 in Barcelona and the Canary Islands, Spain.
A quarter century after Crowe waged war on the Roman Empire in Gladiator, the actor is once again set to stir the warrior within. The movie will tell the story of a Roman Emperor who discovers a secluded Druid stronghold in the mountains of Caledonia. A peaceful Celtic elder (Crowe) must take up arms to protect his family and people from annihilation.
