Andrew Garfield leads the feature that is now in production, portraying the leader of a ferocious rebellion against the tyranny of King Richard II. As the war burns across England, he forms an army of the people to face the King's might in a fight for justice and survival.

Jason Blum is producing through Blumhouse, alongside Gregory Goodman, Joanna Kaye and Greengrass. Lars Sylvest will also produce through Thank You Pictures and Joe Neurauter will produce through Supernix. Focus, which is behind the buzzy award season movies Hamnet, directed by Chloé Zhao, and Bugonia, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, is set to distribute the film domestically. BAFTA-winning actor Dillane is best known for his performance of Stannis Baratheon, a tragically misguided lord in HBO's Game of Thrones. Hollander can be seen portraying Alfred Hitchcock in Netflix's Monster: The Ed Gein Story, the third season of Ryan Murphy's gripping anthology series. This marked Hollander's second collaboration with Murphy, following his acclaimed starring turn as Truman Capote in FX's Feud: Capote vs. The Swans opposite Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Demi Moore, Chloë Sevigny and Molly Ringwald. That role earned him an Emmy nomination. Townsend is an Irish-born actor of stage and screen who has worked with directors such as Mike Leigh, Stephen Frears, Mike Newell, Nick Hytner, Roger Michel, Sam Mendes, Neil Jordan and Catherine Hardwicke, among others. Yang portrayed doomed missionary John Allen Chau in Last Days, the indie drama directed by Justin Lin that debuted at Sundance earlier this year. He also appeared in Zack Snyder's two-part sci-fi epic Rebel Moon alongside Sofia Boutella, Ed Skrein, and Charlie Hunnam. Dillane is repped by Independent Talent Group while Hollander is repped by CAA, Anonymous Content, and United Agents. Townsend is repped by Gordon & French and Yang is repped by Independent Talent Group and Jackoway Austen.
