The King's Daughter (2022 film)

The King's Daughter is a 2022 American action-adventure fantasy film directed by Sean McNamara from a screenplay by Barry Berman and James Schamus. It is based on the 1997 novel The Moon and the Sun by Vonda N. McIntyre. The film stars Pierce Brosnan as King Louis XIV, Kaya Scodelario as Marie-Josèphe, and Benjamin Walker as Yves De La Croix. It was William Hurt's final film, the last of his screen performances to be released before his death in March 2022.
Principal photography began in early April 2014 in Versailles, France. After the two-week shoot in France, production then began on April 23 in Melbourne, Australia. Shooting wrapped up at the end of May 2014.
Originally intended to be released in April 2015, the film was delayed just three weeks prior in order to complete post-production effects. It sat in limbo for over five years, until the distribution rights were acquired by Gravitas Ventures, which theatrically released it on January 21, 2022.
