Claes Bang features in the first image from the upcoming historical drama William Tell.
The timeless legend of William Tell is set to grace the silver screen with Nick Hamm's upcoming epic thriller, aptly titled William Tell. A first-look image at the period piece starring Dracula star Claes Bang as the titular 14th-century hero has been released. The solitary image captures Bang in the role of the famed marksman, mounted upon a horse and armed with his distinctive crossbow.
Based on Friedrich Schiller's classic play, the adaptation will faithfully bring to life a narrative rooted in the 14th century, a pivotal period during the twilight of the Roman Empire. This era was marked by a fierce struggle for supremacy among Europe's mighty nations, with the Austrians setting their sights on Switzerland, eager to seize a portion of its lush landscape.
William Tell is set to dramatize aspects of the legend that have somehow eluded modern cinema. This includes the iconic Apple scene where the Austrian despot challenges Tell's marksmanship demanding that he shoot an Apple off his son's head. “Tell’s story has a relevance and immediacy that is strikingly contemporary," explained director Hamm in a press statement.
