It was announced in Nov. 2020 that Millie Bobby Brown, hot off the success of Netflix's Enola Holmes (2020), had signed on to executive produce and star in a new fantasy film titled Damsel for the streaming service. A source pegs the budget at around $60-$70 million.
Although placed on a fictional land with no religion fixed, wardrobe and jewellery mix the Elizabethan period with Catholic symbols and morale.
Ray Winstone and Robin Wright also played a King and Queen in Beowulf.
Robin Wright who plays the Queen also played royalty in another movie. She played Princess Buttercup in The Princess Bride (1987), and the Queen in Beowulf.
In The Princess Bride, Guilder is the name of the country that Prince Humperdinck wants to start a war with. In Damsel, Aurea is the country of the antagonist. Both names roughly mean "golden" (in Dutch and Latin, respectively).
