This version seems Post-Christian. A character happens to be called Arthur and there is a sword but everything else from the Arthurian Legends seems to be missing. No threat of this Buy Ritchie version supplanting "Excalibur" as the best Arthurian movie.

Will there be the obligatory homosexual character or homosexual theme as part of the plot??

Who keeps funding Guy Ritchie films? People who need to write off LOSSES on their taxes, I’m thinking! ;)

IMHO ‘Baby I’m gonna leave you’ is Led Zeppelin’s BEST Ballad.... far better than the oft celebrated Stairway to Heaven....

The whole point of King Arthur is that he was native British, not Saxon.

Excalibur basically followed the Victorian era telling of the legend. It’s visually beautiful, but like the Victorian illustrators they put them in late medieval armor. The real Arthur if there was one would have been fighting the Saxon invaders around 500 AD, so that’s all wrong. I liked the 2004 King Arthur retelling it as at least looking right for the period.

OMG!! Nice trailer. By nice I mean that I love the trailers that scream out: “wait for the DVD.”

“Excalibur” is fantastic, but the “King Arthur” with Clive Owen and Kiera Knightly is right up there...if any of the potential history surrounding the actual characters is close to being true.

I’m kind of looking forward to this one. I hope he gets back to his early style, if this one comes out Lock Stock and Two Smoking Excaliburs I’ll enjoy it.

I’ll second that. Give me Wagner and Orff to go with my Arthur over Led Zeppelin anyday.
