Russell Crowe to Star in Movie "The Last Druid"

Almost 25 years after Russell Crowe waged war on the Roman Empire — and won an Oscar for his trouble — in the  2000 historical epic "Gladiator", the acclaimed actor is once again set to stir the warrior within for "The Last Druid".

The movie follows a Roman Emperor who discovers a secluded Druid stronghold in the mountains of Caledonia. A peaceful Celtic elder (Crowe) must take up arms to protect his family and people from annihilation. 

Additional casting is underway.

Will Eubank (Underwater) is set to direct from a script he co-wrote with Phil Gawthorne and Carlyle Eubank.

Stuart Ford’s AGC is launching sales on the project for the AFM. Range Media Partners and CAA Media Finance arranged financing for the picture with Nostromo and are representing the U.S. rights.

42’s Ben Pugh is producing alongside Range Media Partners’ Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Fred Berger, with Adrián Guerra also producing for Nostromo. 

Felix Farmer’s Brandon Millan and Sam Wasson will executive-produce alongside George Hsieh.

Crowe will next be seen in Sony’s "Kraven the Hunter" and the buzzed-about historical drama "Nuremberg".
