Focus Features has released two striking new posters for MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS, starring Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie. The portrait posters are actually quite stunning.

The first trailer will be released on Thursday.

Focus Features will release Working Title’s MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS on Friday, December 7, 2018 – limited in North America. Count on this film being in the awards season, Oscar mix.

From director Josie Rourke (artistic director of The Donmar Warehouse), the film explores the turbulent life of the charismatic Mary Stuart. Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. But Scotland and England fall under the rule of the compelling Elizabeth I. Each young Queen beholds her “sister” in fear and fascination. Rivals in power and in love, and female regents in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty. Betrayal, rebellion, and conspiracies within each court imperil both thrones – and change the course of history.

Jack Lowden, Joe Alwyn, Gemma Chan, Martin Compston, Ismael Cordova, Brendan Coyle, Ian Hart, Adrian Lester, James McArdle, with David Tennant, and Guy Pearce also star in MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS.

MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS is from writer Beau Willimon (“The Ides of March,” “House of Cards”) and based on My Heart is My Own: The Life of Mary Queen of Scots by John Guy.
