A lso starring Angus MacFadyen ( Braveheart ), James Cosmo ( Trainspotting ) and Kevin Sorbo ( Hercules ), the film follows a band of outlaws on a quest to protect an innocent princess from a treacherous lord and bring peace to their war-torn land. Speaking with STACK , Natalie Burn shares her experience with working alongside Kevin Sorbo. “I love Kevin Sorbo, I did not know him beforehand,” she admits. “And when I met him on set, he was such a nice person. Of course, I watched him in Hercules when I was growing up, and finally working with someone like him on set was incredible. “He said to me, ‘Oh my God, of course you totally look like Xena the Princess Warrior. You should totally play that part,’” she explains with amusement. “So, let’s call whoever owns the rights and push for that,” she adds, laughing. The guy to speak to would

be The Evil Dead creator Sam Raimi, of course, who we jokingly offer to connect her with. “Yes, Sam Raimi. That’s right! Sam, hello? Please watch The Last Redemption. ”

Burn is no stranger to this genre, having started her career with the polarising German director Uwe Boll in BloodRayne: The Third Reich (2011) and In the Name of the King: Two Worlds (2011). When asked about the appeal of the genre, she doesn’t hesitate to respond.
