The journey of bringing the 1381 English Peasants' Revolt to modern cinema has been one of the most intriguing development stories in recent British filmmaking history.

Early industry trade reports spanning 2022 and 2023 occasionally referenced the emerging project under working titles such as *The Hood* or *The Rage* during initial packaging stages. Editorial clarification is essential: these were early preliminary working titles used during script development and have been fully superseded by the definitive official title: **The Uprising**.

Filming occurred across rugged practical locations in the United Kingdom, utilizing authentic medieval terrain in Kent, Essex, and Northern England to construct living 14th-century villages and the historic walls of medieval London.

Collaborating with Oscar-winning editor William Goldenberg (Argo) and composer Volker Bertelmann (All Quiet on the Western Front), the post-production team has crafted a gripping 128-minute theatrical experience.
