IRONCLAD Trailers, Clip, Poster & Synopsis
Here are the first international trailers and clip for IRONCLAD aka BRAVEHEART 2. Guess Brian Cox has been pigeonholed seeing as this is pretty much the only kind of movie he does anymore. What he do, dig his BRAVEHEART costumes out of the closet? See for yourself.

Synopsis:
IRONCLAD recounts one of the most violent, pivotal moments in English medieval history – when a few good men fought against insurmountable odds to defend their country from a megalomaniac, blood-drunk king. Torn from the pages of history, the devastating battle for the castle of Rochester is a true story of honour, action and excitement. There will be blood.
The year is 1215. King John (Paul Giamatti) has been forced to sign the Magna Carta, a document that will ensure the freedom of men and form the basis of common law in England. Furious at having been forced to sign it, King John raises a vicious mercenary army and begins a rampage across the country to regain total power. But as the King’s army is on the brink of reaching London and taking back control of the country, one last castle stands between him and inevitable victory: Rochester.
Gathered together by Baron Albany (Brian Cox), a small band of rebel warriors gather inside Rochester intent on holding off King John until reinforcements arrive: a Templar Knight (James Purefoy) whose soul is wracked with guilt over the atrocities he has committed during the crusades and his burgeoning feelings for Isabel (Kate Mara), the beautiful lady of the castle and lonely wife of the aging Reginald de Cornhill (Derek Jacobi); battle-hardened mercenaries such as Beckett (Jason Flemying), who fight not for God and country, but for money and bloodlust; and young soldiers like Guy (Aneurin Barnard), who’ll taste blood and battle for the first time – and perhaps the last.
IRONCLAD stars James Purefoy, Paul Giamatti, Brian Cox, Robert Carlyle, Kate Mara, Jason Flemyng, Charles Dance, Derek Jacobi and Pete Postlethwaite. IRONCLAD opens in the U.K. on March 4th but has yet to find a U.S. distributor.

IRONCLAD Poster Makes the Blood Run
The new poster for Jonathan English’s Knights Templar epic IRONCLAD has been unveiled, and, courtesy of Empire Online, you can view this sucker in all of its bloody glory. That’s not an adjective commonly used by Brits, either. This thing is bloody and features a battle-worn James Purefoy covered in the red, red kroovy of a recent fight to the death. In a nutshell, don’t expect to be seeing this thing released in US theater lobbies unedited.
Check it out in all its exquisite goriness right here:
Looks very cool, and that cast list is pretty astounding, as well. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen thespians like Derek Jacobi and Charles Dance in our local cinemas. It’s also nice to hear Giamatti stepping up his villainy game once again. Can’t wait to see what everyone has in store for this film.
IRONCLAD is set to bloody up theaters sometimes in 2010.
Teaser for IRONCLAD is here
Apparently they have created a teaser trailer out of the first 2 weeks of shooting which is what you will see below. Its nothing amazing, but it does get you excited for what they have in store with the rest of the film. For those of you that don’t know, IRONCLAD is directed by Jonathan English (MINOTAUR, NAILING VIENNA) and stars Paul Giamatti, James Purefoy, Brian Cox, Mackenzie Crook, Jason Flemying, Derek Jacobi and Kate Mara. Here is what we have as far as synopsis goes:
A ragtag group of Knights Templar hold out for months against the hard-fought siege of Rochester Castle in the thirteenth Century. Set in the time of King John’s signing of the Magna Carta treaty, the group struggles against the King to defend the freedom of their country.
We also know that Paul Giamatti is playing King John in the film…outside of that details are pretty bare. You can see the footage below thanks to /Film:
