The legendary story of William Tell is returning to the big screen in a new adaptation directed by Nick Hamm, and according to Hamm, it's been long overdue. Speaking with Collider's Steve Weintraub at the Toronto International Film Festival, Hamm expressed his surprise that the story hadn’t been adapted in over a century.

Who Is William Tell? William Tell is most famous for his act of rebellion against tyrannical rule, where he was forced to shoot an apple off his son’s head to save their lives. This act of defiance has become a powerful symbol of resistance, and Hamm sought to capture this in his film. “It’s a European legend that’s complex,” Hamm continued, describing how the tale has been passed down through storytelling, before finally being written down in the early 19th century by Friedrich Schiller.

As William Tell prepares to hit theaters, fans of history, legends, and modern adaptations can look forward to a fresh take on one of Europe’s most enduring heroes. Hamm’s passion for the project, combined with a cast of talented actors, makes this adaptation of William Tell a highly anticipated film for modern audiences. Stay tuned for more updates and exclusive content as we get closer to the release of William Tell in early 2025.
