Well, it was kinda expected after the coronation of our dear Charles III: Mike Medavoy (worked on seven Oscar winning movies) and Keith Chapman (who created Paw Patrol and Bob the Builder) will
King Charles I was quite a dandy tyrant
produce epic historical movie THE THORN IN THE CROWN which tells the story of John Cooke, a humble lawyer and prototype of a human rights campaigner, who in 1649 London accepted the unprecedented and perilous brief to prosecute King Charles I for treason. All but lost to history, this remarkable figure has been plucked from obscurity and pieced together alongside renowned,
revered, and reviled historical figures, King Charles I, Oliver Cromwell & King Charles II. In 1660, that same crown which was recently bestowed on the head of King Charles III, was newly forged to rest on the head of his namesake, King Charles II. Eleven years earlier in 1649, Charles II’s father, King Charles I, was executed and the crown that he had worn was destroyed – and the monarchy along with it. Cooke’s aim was to change the world, against the odds and no matter the cost, and somehow succeed.
