RELEASE DATE: July 22, 2016 STUDIO: Warner Bros. Pictures DIRECTOR: Guy Ritchie MPAA RATING: N/A SCREENWRITER: Joby Harold STARRING: Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Astrid Berges-Frisbey, Elizabeth Olsen GENRE: Action, Adventure PLOT SUMMARY: The project is a re-imagining of the legend of King Arthur, believed to have been a 6th century king who defended Britain against Saxon invaders. The key source material for the film will be Thomas Mallory's "Le Morte d'Arthur," published in 1485 as a compilation of French and English tales. Principle casting on Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur appears to be nearly complete today as Variety reports that Djimon Hounsou has signed on to play the story’s Merlin-equivalent opposite Charlie Hunnam’s Arthur, Astrid Berges-Frisbey’s Guinevere and (not quite locked yet) Jude Law’s unnamed villain. Ambitiously planned to potentially span six films, King Arthur will offer a re-imagining of Arthurian legend. Believed to have been a 6th century King, Arthur defended Britain against Saxon invaders. The key source material for the film will be Thomas Mallory’s “Le Morte d’Arthur,” published in 1485 as a compilation of French and English tales. Idris Elba was said to have been eyeing the quasi-Merlin role earlier this year, but ended up passing on the project due to schedule commitments. Hounsou recently appeared in Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy and can be seen coming up in films like the fantasy adventure Seventh Son, the horror thriller The Vatican Tapes, the action ensemble Furious 7 and Warner Bros. Pictures’ upcoming take on Edgar Rice Burrough’s Tarzan. Already scheduled for a July 22, 2016 release, King Arthur was written by Joby Harold, who is producing with Akiva Goldsman, Tory Tunnell and Ritchie himself. Cate Adams and Niija Kuykendall are overseeing for Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow. www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/384539-guy-ritchies-king-arthur-epic-finds-its-merlin-figure-in-djimon-hounsou

It definitely looks like a Guy Ritchie movie.

If the porn industry don't release their own version called 'Sexcalibur: Legend of the Pork Sword', I truly will lose all faith in humanity.

Herbert:
Lancelot you might as well just fess up
Really you're a different kind of guy
Move aside your scabbard
For underneath your tabard
There is waiting to escape a butterfly
Men:
His...name...is Lancelot
And in tight pants a lot
He likes to dance a lot
You know you do
Lancelot: I do?
Men:
So just say thanks a lot
And try romance, it's hot!
Let's find out who's really you.
His name is Lancelot
He visits France a lot
He likes to dance a lot and dream
No one would ever know
That this outrageous pro
Bats for the other team.
Herbert:
You're a knight who really likes his night life
And by day you really like to play
You can all find him pumping at the gym
At the Camelot Y.M.C.A.!
Men/Women:
His name is Lancelot
La, la, la
Just watch him dance a lot
La, la, la
He doesn't care what people say
La, la, la
Lance: No Way!
Men/Women:
For when he starts to dance
La, la, la
Just grab your underpants
La, la, la
Herbert:
He can finally come out and say that he is G.A.
All: Y.M.C.A.
All: He's Gay!
Lancelot: Ok!

So are filmmakers contractually obligated to include the line 'are you scared? You should be' into every movie now?
Also Led Zeppelin in the trailer?
This movie is going to boooooomb.

This is clearly a January/February movie. Releasing this in May is a guarantee of failure, especially considering the films that surround it. They'll be lucky if the movie manages to land in second place for the opening weekend. Even if the Alien movie sucks, it will still crush this turd in King Arthur's second week.
When was the last time a King Arthur movie performed well at the box office? Excalibur?

I turned off the trailer half way in... Why is this a summer release? It's an already packed summer and no one... AND I MEAN NO ONE is talking about this movie.
