Actor who starred in Scotland-based movie released in 1995 will attend King John Summer Prom Festival
Gibson, who produced, directed and starred in the film, will be guest of honour at the annual King John Summer Prom Festival in Trim. The theme for this year’s festival is the film Braveheart .The film Braveheart follows the story of Sir William Wallace, a minor Scottish noble, leading a failed uprising against English rule under King Edward I in the 13th century.
The 1995 film was shot in various locations in England, Scotland and Ireland. The ruins of Trim Castle were transformed into the fortified English city of York for filming, with extensive wooden buttresses and a seven-ton gate temporarily added to the site. Though the film was initially supposed to be entirely filmed in Scotland, Gibson saidit would be made for the most part in Ireland after a meeting with Irish producer Morgan O’Sullivan and then minister for the arts Michael D Higgins. Tax breaks and the availability of members of the Irish Defence Forces to act as extras in military scenes helped to change Gibson’s mind.
