‘Ironclad’ Sneak Peek *Updated*
I haven’t heard much about this but the sneak peek looks pretty good. The movie is about a 13th century group of Knights Templar who defend Rochester Castle against the tyrannical King John. Sounds like it could be an epic movie.
Cinematical.com gives us the 411:
This footage is from the first two weeks of filming, so it’s pretty rough, the soundtrack is temporary, and it was filmed prior to pre-Paul Giamatti being cast as King John. But there’s still an impressive level of carnage on display, and everything remotely sharp or heavy is being wielded in defense of Rochester Castle. There’s no slick choreography, it’s just white-knuckle, balls-to-the wall medieval warfare. They still found room for a few explosions, though. Remember, King John used pig fat to melt the walls, so there was definitely a lot of falling stone during this siege.
While for some reason the footage is not running (taken down?) and I didn’t get a chance to see it, I will still thank you and Cinematical for the attempt.
Any flick regarding this time period is worth a look. I hope it is as good as it sounds.
I’ll get a new one up!
Even for a rough cut the trailer was still pretty good.
Why is it (just askin’) that when one sword fightin’ period piece flick gets made theres like 10 more right behind it to really test your love of the genre?
My favs:(not that anyones asking)
Excalibur (needs an updated remake)
Braveheart
Gladiator
(fun stuff): Sword and the sorcerer
Conan 1&2
Monty Python and the holy grail..
these stand out , then there are all the other’s
that are good but just seem like all the same stuff….
