Pilgrimage (2016)

“Ireland, 1209. An island on the edge of the world. A small group of monks begin a reluctant pilgrimage across an island torn between centuries of tribal warfare and the growing power of Norman invaders. Escorting their monastery’s holiest relic to Rome, the monks’ progress is seen through the eyes of a pious young novice (Tom Holland) and a mute lay-brother (Jon Bernthal) with a violent past. As the true material, political and religious significance of the bejeweled relic becomes dangerously apparent, their path to the east coast becomes increasingly fraught with danger. The monks belatedly realize that in this wild land of ancient superstitions, the faith that binds them together may ultimately lead to their destruction”

PILGRIMAGE: Next Film From LOVE ETERNAL Director Begins Shoot


Irish filmmaker Brendan Muldowney (Love Eternal) will begin production in April on Pilgrimage, an action film set in 13th Century Ireland. Filming will happen on the west coast of Ireland and in the Ardennes region of Belgium.




The cast includes Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead and Fury), Richard Armitage (The Crucible) and Tom Holland (The Impossible) who will wrap up shooting Backcountry in Northern Ontario, Canada this weekend.





Pilgrimage follows a small group of monks as they undertake a treacherous pilgrimage to escort their monastery's holiest relic to Rome.




Love Eternal producer Conor Barry will produce again, alongside John Keville from Savage Productions. While in Belgium they will be helped by Benoit Roland from Wrong Men North.




Nick Spicer and Aram Tertzakian from XYZ Films will executive produce. XYZ Films is handling global sales and co-represent with WME Global in the U.S.




(Yep. XYZ Films is helping out with this and you know what that means. TwitchFilm founder and editor Todd Brown is a partner there. The only influence he had on this article was answering my text asking what kind of film this was.)
