News from the production

Our updated behind-the-scenes film takes you inside the making of HAMILTON: The First Flame. Every character in the film begins with a real actor.

HAMILTON: The First Flame is being created through a hybrid human and AI production pipeline that brings together traditional filmmaking, real actors, historical research, and emerging production technologies.

The official trailer for HAMILTON: The First Flame is here.

The full cast of HAMILTON: The First Flame, from the thirteen leads to the supporting and featured roles, is now on the Cast page, with a character profile for every lead.

We are honored to introduce Jaymes Hamilton as the principal lead in HAMILTON: The First Flame, portraying the young Patrick Hamilton, Scotland's first martyr of the Protestant Reformation.

There is something especially meaningful about Jaymes stepping into this role. As a direct descendant of the Hamilton lineage whose remarkable history inspired this film, he brings a personal connection to the story and is uniquely and rightfully placed to portray the young man at its heart.

Patrick Hamilton was born into one of Scotland's most influential families, yet chose a path that would ultimately cost him his life. His courage, conviction, and sacrifice helped ignite the flame of Reformation in Scotland, a flame that could not be extinguished. We are equally honored to have Jaymes's father, Michael Hamilton, joining the cast, allowing two generations of the Hamilton family to take part in bringing this extraordinary chapter of their ancestral history to the screen.

It is a privilege for Golden Eagle Films to tell this story, and we could not be more pleased to have Jaymes leading the cast of HAMILTON: The First Flame.

Some stories are history. Some stories are heritage. This one is both.

The ensemble of HAMILTON: The First Flame continues to grow. Welcome to the newest members of the cast, including Cole Chanter and Zach Chanter.

Roles for the full company are now on the Cast page.
