Almost three decades after going to war with the Roman Empire in Gladiator (a role that won him the Academy Award for Best Actor), Russell Crowe will return to once again pick up arms against the Romans. The upcoming historical war epic sees Crowe on entertainingly familiar ground as a peaceful man who is forced to wage a one-man war to protect his people against a ruthless Roman Emperor in The Last Druid, which has now added a Game of Thrones icon and more to the cast.
The Last Druid is all set to be directed by Will Eubank, who is best known for the science fiction horror outing Underwater and the action thriller Land of Bad starring Crowe alongside Liam and Luke Hemsworth, with the filmmaker working from a script he co-wrote alongside Phil Gawthorne and Carlyle Eubank.
Paramount Pictures
The Last Druid 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,” according to the official logline. While Crowe had been the only actor confirmed, Deadline has now revealed that Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones), Andreas Pietschmann (Nuremberg), and Daniel Zovatto (Don’t Breathe) will join him in his latest battle.
Rounding out the cast with some exciting additions, including Rose Leslie, who will finally pick up a sword again after becoming best known for her role as Ygritte, one of the Wildlings who lived north of the Wall in Game of Thrones, and Andreas Pietschmann, who recently shared the screen with Crowe in the crowd-pleasing World War II drama Nuremberg, it has also been confirmed that The Last Druid will "begin production on June 8 in Barcelona and the Canary Islands, Spain."
While not a straight-up Gladiator follow-up, The Last Druid certainly sounds like it will work wonderfully as a spiritual sequel, as Russell Crowe goes to war with the Romans again after all this time. Hopefully it will fare far better with the actor than director Ridley Scott’s actual Gladiator II, which Crowe sadly did not care for. “I think the recent sequel that, you know, we don’t have to name out loud, is a really unfortunate example of even the people in that engine room not actually understanding what made the first one special,” he said last year following the movie’s release. “It wasn’t the pomp. It wasn’t the circumstance. It wasn’t the action. It was the moral core.”
The Last Druid is just one of several major projects in the pipeline for Crowe, who recently added his name to the MMA movie roster with the well-received Beast. Next up is the Netflix crime thriller Unabomber, action thriller Bear Country, spy thriller Billion Dollar Spy, and a reunion with his on-screen son and former Superman, Henry Cavill, in John Wick director Chad Stahelski’s long-awaited Highlander reboot.
