Seize Them! trailer and poster drop as UK release date announced for star-studded medieval comedy

The upcoming British comedy film Seize Them! has officially unveiled its trailer, poster and UK release date, setting the stage for its premiere in UK and Irish cinemas on the 5th April 2024. The film, directed by Curtis Vowell and penned by screenwriter Andy Riley, features a star-studded cast including Aimee Lou Wood, Lolly Adefope, Nicola Coughlan, Jessica Hynes, Nick Frost, James Acaster, Paul Kaye and John Macmillan.

Seize Them! promises a blend of warmth, humour and medieval swordfights, following the story of Queen Dagan, portrayed by Aimee Lou Wood. The egotistical yet lonely monarch’s rule is usurped by the charming Humble Joan (Nicola Coughlan) and the duplicitous Leofwine (Jessica Hynes). Dethroned and with a bounty on her head, Queen Dagan embarks on a journey to reclaim her throne with the aid of Shulmay (Lolly Adefope), a castle worker with hidden agendas, and Bobik (Nick Frost), a humble man with dreams beyond his station as a shit shoveler. This adventure forces her to contemplate the type of ruler she aspires to be.

Check out the brand-new trailer below.
