“We are in a time of extreme peril, we fight for our freedom!” Saban Films has revealed an official trailer for a historical epic called Boudica: Queen of War, the latest action film from this guy named Jesse V. Johnson who keeps making trash action trash films year-after-year. It’s inspired by the true story of Boudica – who was a queen of the ancient British Iceni tribe, who led a failed uprising against the conquering forces of the Roman Empire in AD 60 or 61. She is considered a British national heroine and a symbol of the struggle for justice and independence. Ukrainian-French actress Olga Kurylenko stars as the titular hero. The eponymous Celtic warrior who rules the Iceni people alongside her husband Prasutagus. The King dies at the hands of Roman soldiers, leaving Boudica’s kingdom without a male heir and the Romans seize her land and property. But she will rally her people and fight back! Or die trying. This also stars Clive Standen as Prasutagus, Peter Franzén, Rita Tushingham, Leo Gregory, Nick Moran, James Faulkner, and Lucy Martin. Almost anything made by Johnson is going to be bad, and this doesn’t look like an exception.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Jesse V. Johnson’s Boudica: Queen of War, direct from YouTube:
