French actor Stanley Weber plays a Cistercian monk in one of RA's recent movies titled Pilgrimage. In a recent interview Stanley made following comments:
He plays a monk who travels to an Irish monastery after being sent by the Pope. A group of monks plan to deliver a sacred relic - a stone used to kill St Mathias - to Rome. The journey through Gaelic lands is very dangerous, therefore the monk makes a deal for security with a Norman lord. RA plays the Norman knight Godfrey's son Raymond de Merville. The latter chases the group in order to retrieve the relic. Weber said it starts as a movie about religion and faith and transforms into an adventure.
