Watch Angus Macfadyen reprise his Braveheart role in Robert the Bruce clip
star Emma Kenney, will host a live watch party on Twitter at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT on Saturday), Macfadyen spoke to EW about stepping back into the title role, the long road to realizing the film, and how life imitated art before and during the shoot.In 2006 we wrote the first script, which was a was a big-budget film, and we couldn't get the money to make that.
[According to legend, Robert watched a spider successfully weave a web after two failed attempts, which inspired him to continue his fight for Scotland's freedom.] Other than budgetary restrictions, why did you want to tell this particular story with that kind of intimate approach? Well, just for that reason. If you can get inside the skins of these few characters, you can identify with them, because they're the ordinary people of the land, and you can understand their fears. These are all people who've lost their fathers in wars for William Wallace or Robert the Bruce, and the story we're telling is about the consequences of war and violence on family, and the prices that ordinary people have to pay for the ambitions of, in this case, an aristocratic elitist.
In a way, the whole journey of trying to get the film made was very much a mirror experience of the story in the script. It took me twice as long to get the film made as it took him to actually become the king. And so that's what I brought to it. I actually lived the failure, again and again and again, until I basically gave up and went into my own metaphorical cave.
