Everyone loves an uplifting historical epic and new action-adventure Emperor promises exactly that! From the producer of Django Unchained, it’s an inspirational and timely portrait of courage and resilience set during a turbulent time in American history. It’s coming to digital platforms from 1st March and will be available on DVD from 5th April courtesy of Kaleidoscope Entertainment and we have a first look at the film’s trailer.
The story is inspired by the legend of 19th century freedom fighter, Shields “Emperor” Green (Dayo Okeniyi, The Hunger Games, Shades of Blue), a descendant of African kings turned outlaw slave in the pre-Civil War South.
A powerful epic shining light on one of history’s unsung heroes, Emperor also stars Ben Robson (Animal Kingdom, Vikings), Academy Award® nominee James Cromwell (The Young Pope, The Green Mile), Kat Graham (All Eyez on Me, The Vampire Diaries) and Academy Award® and Golden Globe® nominee Bruce Dern (The Hateful Eight, Nebraska).
