This long-rumoured (c.10yrs) historical epic is based upon famous history and the script co-written by English history writer Helen Hollick.
Apparently, $50m has been promised by US backers to get this movie made, but it's all stuck in pre-production?
The late, great Lewis Collins (The Professionals) and Niall O'Brien (Excalibur and Braveheart) were both due to star at one time. But has it died a death?
Bet it's died a death. Check author and co-scriptwriter Helen Hollick's blog
shareYeah, most likely dead, seeing as how the IMDB listing shows status as "in pre-production" and that hasn't been updated since 2017. Plus, they don't even list an actor for William the Conqueror, the key figure in the whole saga!
We're long overdue for a well-produced depiction of the Battle of Hastings. I'm hoping that the upcoming series "Vikings: Valhalla" (the official follow-up to the History Channel's "Vikings") will give us that, since William the Conqueror will be a recurring character.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to that 1066 stuff - IF done correctly!?
