WEB DESK: Screen Media Films has released a trailer for Robert the Bruce. The iconic figure from Scottish history previously appeared in Mel Gibson’s acclaimed 1995 historical drama Braveheart, as portrayed by Angus Macfadyen.
Perhaps not coincidentally, Macfadyen is back playing the character once again, effectively making this an unofficial sequel to Braveheart, which is leaned upon with a not-so-light touch in the trailer.
The trailer kicks off in Scotland, circa 1306, which is when Robert the Bruce took over as king, historically speaking. Obviously, the movie will likely be taking some liberties with the story. Quite quickly, the name William Wallace is dropped, which is the character that Mel Gibson played in Braveheart who was also a massively important figure in Scottish history.
Wallace and Bruce both took part in the revolt against Edward I of England. Undoubtedly, even though the trailer can’t say it officially, the idea is to connect the two movies together. We then get to the heart of the matter, which sees Robert on the run from the English with a price on his head.
