FIRST WILLIAM TELL EPIC MOVIE TRAILER WITH CLAES BANG, CONNOR SWINDELLS, BEN KINGSLEY, JONAH HAUER KING, RAFE SPALL, ELLIE BAMBER, JONATHAN PRYCE, EMILY BEECHAM

  WILLIAM TELL TRAILER 
FOR NEW HISTORICAL EPIC MOVIE
 It had its world premiere over at Toronto International Film Festival last month, but since it is due to hit cinemas around the world in January, a trailer has finally been released for   WILLIAM TELL historical adventure movie based on the famous Swiss folk legend. Ben Kingsley, Claes Bang, Jonathan Pryce, Solly McLeod, Jonah Hauer King, Emily Beecham, Connor Swindells, Ellie Bamber Eanna Hardwicke and Rafe Spall lead the star studded cast in the monumental tale about the legendary 14th century warrior marksman who liberated Switzerland, becoming a folk hero for the ages.

  THE STORY STARTS IN 1307
a cruel Austrian Hapsburg king (Ben Kingsley) occupies the bordering Swiss cantons. His tax collectors oppress and violate the citizens, driving one farmer to thoughts of murderous revenge. Fleeing across a vast landscape, this farmer finds only one man who will come to his aid: William Tell (Claes Bang). Tell has returned home weary after fighting with the Knights Templar in the Holy Land. Now seeking only a quiet life with the wife he met there (Golshifteh Farahani), he’s nevertheless bound by his principles. When pushed beyond his limits by the villainy of the Hapsburg court, Tell picks up his weapons and rides into battle.

  5. I remember the 1950s British series with Conrad Phillips. Wales stood in for Switzerland I believe. Conrad Phillips could rock the tights but a broken ankle meant he had to shoot the last episode seated in a wheelchair. Some stories are perennial and can be told and told again and I think William Tell is one of those.
