Mary Queen Of Scots is of course one of those endlessly re-examined stories: the tragic/hapless Scottish queen lived a life marred by death, high drama and international intrigue. As a baby she was engaged to the heir to the French throne, who she later married – but he died young and she returned to Scotland to be the centre of conspiracies both romantic and political. Cue failed marriages, disastrously bad decisions, possible murders, imprisonment and a serious falling out with her cousin Elizabeth I (Margot Robbie).
Josie Rourke, artistic director of the Donmar Warehouse, is calling the shots for latest iteration of the film, which has attempted to come together before, but never quite made it to the screen. So this is good news!
The likes of Jack Lowden, Joe Alwyn, Martin Compston and new recruits Brendan Coyle, David Tennant and Guy Pearce bolster the cast for the film, which has a script by House Of Cards creator Beau Willimon based on John Guy’s acclaimed biography My Heart Is My Own: The Life of Mary Queen of Scots. There's no word yet on a release date.
