On today’s episode of War Stories, Ars Technica is joined by the creators of the film “Robert The Bruce” to breakdown the bone-chilling conditions under which they worked while bringing the story to life. Writer and star Angus Macfadyen first portrayed the outlaw Scottish king 25 years ago in Mel Gibson’s Academy Award-winning epic “Braveheart,” a film Director and Producer Richard Gray was determined to do justice to. Despite having a budget more suited to an independent film than a Hollywood period piece and shooting in sub-zero temperatures with chest-high snow, the cast and crew of “Robert The Bruce” overcame each challenge and delivered a film that feels intimate from moment to moment, but epic in scope. Learn how they pulled it off on this episode of War Stories. Robert The Bruce is available on Digital Platforms and VOD.
