Medieval

Cinema Release | Expected 2022

Inspired by the true story of Jan Žižka, one of the greatest warriors in history. After the death of its reigning emperor, the Holy Roman Empire is plummeting into chaos while feuding brothers King Wenceslas of Czech and King Sigismund of Hungary battled for control of the empty throne. Daring and righteous mercenary leader Jan Zizka is hired by Lord Boresh to kidnap the powerful Lord Rosenberg’s fiancée, Lady Katherine, to prevent Rosenberg’s rise to power alongside the corrupt King Sigismund.

Stars Ben Foster, Michael Caine, Til Schweiger, Sophie Lowe.



If it didn’t say “Also as a videogame on Console and PC” at the end of the trailer, I’d have said that this looks like a film based on Kingdom Come: Deliverance. No mention of Warhorse Studios or Deep Silver though. So now I just want to know more about the Medieval: The Game.

Also, two Ben Foster movies in a row is odd.

I see a lot of releases coming to Netflix, does the same kind of thing happen on Disney+ with having regular new releases or additions?

2 Likes

I think so, especially if you add in all the Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and the Star Hub content (FX and Hulu especially). I just posted about two new Star Wars series in the TV Series topic for example, The Orville is a Hulu show coming back soon too, and available on D+.

Not sure about the movie stuff streaming though - Disney and the movie studios connected to the Star Hub (20th Century Studios, Searchlight Pictures, Touchstone Pictures and Hollywood Pictures) all tend to put movies into cinema release before it goes to any form of streaming. Netflix on the other hand is a streaming service first and will put their cinema release productions onto the streaming service at the same time.

Personally, I haven’t really posted too much Disney+ content in the past because it has been available officially. But now that it is, I’ll be keeping a closer look out for decent content.
