Editions Deadline reports that the film was based on the plays of William Shakespeare "Henry IV" and "Henry V". The key hero is the young prince Hal, he is the future Henry V (Timothée Chalamet). He will learn how to rule the country with his faithful friend Falstaff (Joel Edgerton). The role of King Henry IV will play Ben Mendelsohn, the heir to the French throne will play Pattinson, and the French princess and future Hal's wife- Lily-Rose Depp.

Note that for Lily-Rose this role can be a good chance to conquer Hollywood Olympus. The 19-year-old daughter of Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp first appeared in the movie in 2014. The young actress appeared on the big screen in Kevin Smith's comedy "Tusk", where she played with the daughter of director Harley Quinn.

After that, there were such pictures as "Planetarium" and "La danseuse".
