I like the look he’s going for, but I don’t know how Vortigern as the baddie that’s murdered Uther Pendragon works for the story. I guess we’ll see in 2017!

What? Vortigern will be Arthur’s villain? I right he was there only in a pre /flashback sort of situation.

Yep…in the article it says:

That edge serves him well when dealing with his tyrannical uncle, Jude Law’s Vortigern, who’s got more than a bad boy appeal to defend himself.

As the murderer of his brother and Arthur’s dad Uther Pendragon (Eric Bana) and the usurper of the throne, Vortigern has done more than enough to earn his nephew’s wrath, but backing him is a set of deadly magical powers that give him the upper hand.

I didn’t expect guy ritchie to give a faithful adaptation, but I’m not sure how magical Vortigern works for the story…or me!

“In our day, we thought that the bards would sing of us for generations
to come, but we did not believe it. But in fact Arthur now occupies a
higher throne than he ever did when he was alive. The fragments of all
our lives have been put together to form legend. Camelot has become the
nursery of Britain: the glorious past that never was and always will
be.”

favorite arthurian movies/series. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court 1989

Guinevere: Is there anything wrong?
Karen: Yes, there’s something wrong. We need a girl to girl talk. And fast.

My favorite Connecticut Yankee movie as the main character is absolutely adorable and the movie has some wonderful moments like Guinevere dancing old 80s music, saying “okie dokie” and learning martial arts.

The Story of King Arthur and His Knights + modern aesthetic

For he wist not what he had done in drawing out that sword from the anvil, nor did he know of what great things should arise from that little thing, for so it is in this world that a man sometimes approves himself to be worthy of such a great trust as that, and yet, in lowliness of spirit, he is yet altogether unaware that he is worthy thereof. And so it was with young Arthur at that time.
