Boudica: Queen of War trailer: Olga Kurylenko leads a blood-soaked rebellion against the Roman Empire in a new action drama

Last Updated on September 27, 2023

Sharpen your sword and show us your war face because Saban Films‘s Boudica: Queen of War trailer is soaking the soil with blood as battle cries echo throughout the plains. In Boudica: Queen of War, Olga Kurylenko (Black WidowThe PrincessExtraction 2, Quantum of Solace) plays a mother whose life is stolen when high-ranking members of the Roman Empire storm her lands, slay her family, and brand her a nobody in the eyes of the aristocracy. Unfortunately for the Roman Empire, the people still see Kurylenko’s character as their queen and would follow her onto any battlefield without question. Given the name Boudica by her loyal subjects, the would-be queen inspires her followers to take up arms in the name of freedom from the Roman Empire. What follows is a bloodbath of epic proportions as rage leads to a plan to topple the corrupt Romans and their overlords.

Jesse V. Johnson (AvengementHell Hath No FuryWhite Elephant) directs from his own script, with Kurylenko leading the cast. Others joining Kurylenko in the fight for freedom are Clive Standen (VikingsEverestRobin Hood), Peter Franzen (The GunmanPahat pojat), Lucy Martin (The SeedMalpracticeVikings), Nick Moran (The MusketeerThe Black Emperor of Broadway), Leo Gregory (HooligansStoned, Tristan + Isolde). Ehud Bleihberg produces.
