WILLIAM TELL Trailer (2025) Ben Kingsley

[@Imr888-k9p]

The legend of William Tell comes from Switzerland. While much of it cannot be proven, this legend emphasizes the conviction and bravery displayed by an individual now considered a national hero of that country. According to Swiss lore, William Tell was a 14th century hunter skilled in using the crossbow. At the time, a tyrant named Hermann Gessler insisted that everyone should honor him; Tell refused to do so. Gessler decides to punish Tell. Knowing of Tell's hunting skills, Gessler orders that Tell's little boy be forced to stand in the public square with an apple upon his head, and for his father to shoot the apple with an arrow. Tell accomplishes this successfully and the townspeople rejoice. Tell, however, has a second arrow and Gessler demands to know why. Tell responds that it was intended to kill Gessler if his little boy had gotten hurt. Versions of the legend vary, but most end with Tell eventually killing Gessler with an arrow. This act inspires his fellow countrymen to rise up and fight for Swiss freedom. Edit: and nobody, no one is mentioning Claes Bang 💯🔥 wtf...

[@arthurwatts1680]

Incredible stuff, especially from a steadfastly neutral country that accepted Nazi gold from both Germany itself and occupied countries. That attitude seems to live on today at Credit Suisse, but I won't derail this discussion further. Every country has it's heroes and villains, and this is clearly a work of fiction.

[@islewait6107]

I appreciate your scapel of erudite cognition!!!🎉😊

[@DavidKingOfTheRealm]

Finally another epic medieval movie! I'm ready for it! ⚔️

[@jalin8039]

Its nice to get more medieval films and shows Looking forward to it

[@FariyTalePurityAnalyser]

Just as long as they don't have blcks and packeys in it.

[@xlp2346]

As a swiss and historian, I somehow have the feeling this movie will be super weird

[@poja82]

As an instructor of medieval fencing, i share your feeling.

[@HyperEwok1]

Surely it can't be any worse than the recent Jan Hus movie 😂

[@SemperCallide]

Very disappointed by the total lack of a William Tell overture anywhere in the trailer. What’s even the point of having an overture???

[@markstacy3367]

To make the Lone Ranger look cooler.

[@Larstig81]

A very long time ago I heard about him when I was a child. Can't remember the story any more.

[@TheGrizzlorChannel]

I see Trever aka The Mandarin finally got a new acting gig after helping Shang-Chi. Good for him 😁 👍

[@jannuary831]

Looking forward to it. I remember the Conrad Philips series from the 50s. Then there were a few snaps from the Errol Flynn disaster.

[@JeffDavies-i8q]

Some episodes of the 1950's series are on KZbin. It was quite a good show and had some interesting storylines.

[@iamSeanBrowne]

Claes Bang is always a great casting decision imo - would check this out just for him

[@shaywhelan1]

Nice to see Claes Bang as the star. Very charasmatic actor

[@Mystik-X]

Looks good

[@malbecks316]

This seems suitably epic. And I like that the movie realizes that the actual point of the legend isn't about marksmanship, it's about having to shoot at your son in a public town square. And about how you need to make the people who make you do that pay.

[@arisketch9247]

it's nice to see Trevor Slattery still working and acting :p all kidding aside, this looks pretty good - happy to see a film made with good storytelling as the focus.

[@robertmcdonald6063]

William Tell Robin Hood to get here quick......

[@szenarioz3391]

As a Swiss who knows the legend of Wilhem Tell by heart, I have no clue what's going on in this movie.

[@bryannsotomayor2575]

damn, i just realized that after more than 20 years of trailers, the background soundtrack and trailer edits to artificially hype don't have a big effect on me anymore

[@dmi6101]

Legend? Wasn't it more like a Middle Ages short story?

[@GOEYGOOK]

Tell is a folk hero, so there's lot's of stuff written about him including a poem.

[@damo666]

Thanks for the whole movie

[@sircliffordmalcolmjac5870]

I absolutely love movies like these and im glad Dracula got a starring role in a bigger production, bthothis trailer really reminded me of an snl skit!!🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂😂

[@antimuppet]

...there's a very specific piece of music related to William Tell and you don't use any of it in your trailer? Odd choice.

[@rosablume4346]

Didnt know they spoke such great English in Switzerland way back when, and was that the Swiss Navy?😎

[@karlorangenhaut3005]

You hit it. 🤣🤣🤣

[@oulalaahouai5135]

Looks awesome

[@GrandEngine]

Claes Bang perfect as james bond

[@DanielThureskog]

Nah, instead he can play a 006/Rogue Agent.

[@ventdore]

Wait! No Rossini?!

[@handsome_jeff]

the famous William Tell legend of the Swiss crossbowman and his Iranian wife.... ridiculous

[@ANARDCUDUBH99]

I didn’t know there were Indians and Persians in Switzerland back then

[@gospelofrye6881]

In the 14th century? Indians maybe not. But Persians, definitely.

[@YeLizardLords]

I hope they play the Lone Rangers theme music.

[@jaykrulewitch6576]

YeLizardLords: The William Tell Overture, from the Opera, William Tell, was composed by Gioachino Rossini. It was coopted and used as the theme music for the Lone Ranger TV Series. It was composed in 1829, long before there was a Lone Ranger or Tonto, or television for that matter!

[@whitebeard9065]

Looks amazing so far

[@J-HWH]

will i am tell, that the world is more than you may ever imagine?

[@MCP34]

Why can nobody make an authentic historical movie anymore?

[@CailaeEvans]

Because we need heroes. So we take a real historical figure and “super size” him.

[@2009worstyearever]

always funny that while the bad guys have no idea what the point of a a big, broad, heavy thing on their hand is the good guys always know they that sometimes you can 'shield' yourself from a lot of things like arrows. I wonder if they figured out a good name for this historically obscure device. Face Protector 300 has a good ring to it i think. but maybe something shorter.

[@michaelkuhn402]

Seen it........ It's called Brave Heart

[@kirkgraham9968]

They really think this is gonna be the new Braveheart

[@censorshipsucks9493]

No William Tell Overture in the trailer = fail.

[@markstacy3367]

Didn't wanna spoil the Lone Ranger cameo

[@agentcub]

Wait... did he hit the apple or did he miss?

[@Brucelyroy]

make Ben Kingsley prominant and he doesn't utter a word in the trailer? Hmm.

[@mikescarborough9196]

The eye patch is total clickbait, but I'm glad it worked.

[@SmoothRiding]

Dude. I commend you. 12 fucking years of just non stop going. Views be high views be low bro be sending us the next trailer.

[@starrhardgrove488]

I didn't know Braveheart was a genre now.

[@JJLemire]

Now what about the music 🎵, no temptation from Rossini. The second projectile/dart/arrow was for bailiff Gessler, if Tell misses. (Spoiler)

[@popcornbuster752]

Old Man: William Tell

[@fatboy9526]

*Wilhelm......... Why can't those storys from european regions be told more authentic with their own languages.

[@Raldazzar2]

Just because they CALL it by its colloquial name.. did you even WATCH the trailer? at 0:55 somebody says 'who are you?' and he replied.. Wilhelm tell... so desperate to post your opinion you didn't wait 55 seconds? It's a movie. it wants to make money.. calling it Wilhelm Tell will not draw the same as William Tell. as everyone and their brother knows the story of William Tell. The story of the three brothers was not renowned despite it being from the brothers grimm book, it was only once it was made into an opera and the overture was written that it became 'worldwide' and at that point Wilhelm was William. do you get this upset when they change races/genders in stories too?!

[@hduston]

Because if the story was told in Alemannic Swiss German not as many people would watch it.

[@captare]

And without the use of a lottttt of lether!

[@fatboy9526]

@captare yeah what also bugs me is that the clothing was whay more colorful. Unisen in clothing was not really common.

[@fatboy9526]

@hduston I know but I think a lot gets lost

[@cptzoom1155]

This guy richie directed robin good looks great 😂😂

[@AdamAragon]

Really digging deep to find historic heroes I guess. This seems silly. Also it's hard to admire someone whose primary weapon is a crossbow. It's just a matter of aiming and you get one shot and that's pretty much it. It's like being really good at using a one shot musket. Unless you have 20 more behind you, you're not going to be that impactful. I feel like they're trying to separate from Robin Hood analogies but it just feels blah.

[@enderend1551]

Did Wilhelm Tell miss and kill his son? Dam cliffhanger!?

[@anthonycampos8057]

All thats missing is Ragnar.

[@AbdulAlim-of3tr]

trailer that can shows full movie

[@NeyMelodwarfney]

I want it

[@HarryHache-l3m]

utterly lost me with "now it begins"

[@gospelofrye6881]

Why? This story is literally the founding myth of the Swiss Confederation. It's the start of a rebellion against Austrian Habsburg rule.

[@mattscott2664]

I don’t care what the history books say my grandma told me William Tell was black.

[@MeBeTheDB]

GEEEZUS-PLEEEEZUS. Dear Filmmakers of this and every film .... Pretty Please: Get rid of the drum smacks on this and every bloody trailer. It's annoying and frankly, I'll boycott this picture for that very reason. Make a trailer that's about CHARACTER and not drum smacks and MTV quick cutting. D.A. filmmaker

[@gospelofrye6881]

Imagine judging a film by the editing choices of the trailer.

[@thomassherman4942]

He doesn't look like he is from Switzerland

[@TonyMontanaDS]

What should he look like? You think everyone in Sweden has blonde hair? According to legend he had dark hair. You must be American do go along with stereotypes.

[@AliceBowie]

​Sweden and Switzerland are two different places.

[@tabletop.will.phillips]

This looks to be about the same low level of filmmaking quality and historical fidelity as that underwhelming take on Jan Zizka and the Hussites a couple years ago. Bummer.

[@MORGATH99]

do tell more

[@JusticeInGaming_JIG]

Isnt that a different version of Robin Hood. 😂

[@TonyMontanaDS]

No. William Tell didn't steal from the rich to give to the poor. Different time period (2 centuries apart), countries and stories.

[@yaxel38]

Robin Hood's cousin 😂

[@keithcourson7317]

Robin Hood. But slower.

[@glenrich-uu9zr]

[@JonathanConda]

Visuals are awesome. But, let's please grow beyond the 'epic drums' trailer music. I shouldn't be watching a period film and hearing a 'braaammmmm' and bass hit. Lazy.
