Exclusive Interview: Graeme Carlyle on fantasy epic ‘Chaos Rising’

Chaos Rising, an epic fantasy-action film drawing inspiration from the rich and immersive Warhammer universe, is a proudly independent and ambitious project from combat experts whose skills have featured in Outlander, Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon, Outlaw King, Justice League, Robin Hood and Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel. Filmed on location in Scotland at the famous Duncarron Medieval Village, Chaos Rising draws viewers into a captivating tale of pride, malice, vengeance, and the far-reaching consequences they unleash.

The story unfolds as a fortified village in Breton is under siege by the malevolent Chaos warband from the Northern wastes. Baron Heaubolt is taken by surprise during the revered Breton celebration of “Holy Grail Day”. The formidable Chaos Marauder Skyehammer Clan descend upon the fortress – but with the timely arrival of Florian L’Anguille and his valiant knights, does the beleaguered fort stand a fighting chance against the onslaught?
