Stone of Destiny updates

Stone of Destiny has an official UK release date now - Oct. 10, 2008 so if any UK fans want to catch both Billy Boyd and Robert Carlyle go check out the movie.

The film will also be screened in Sudbury, Ontario at the Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival which opens September 13, 2008. The complete festival schedule will be released in early September. I'm not sure if Billy or Robert will be attending, but if there's any news I'll be sure to post it.

Here's a synopsis of the film from Scottish Screen:

Stone of Destiny, starring Charlie Cox (Stardust) as the young Ian Hamilton, with Billy Boyd, Robert Carlyle and Brenda Fricker, tells the story of four Scottish students who, in a daring raid in the 1950s, bring the Stone of Scone back to Scotland. The film is due for release in 2008, and is expected to generate a lot of interest in Scottish history and Scottish identity, which will in turn help to promote Scotland as a tourist destination in 2008.
