King Arthur is arguably the greatest character in all of English literature. The entire mythology of a man who pulls a sword out of a stone and anvil to become king of all England is a truly epic story and one which deserves a good movie to be made about it. I know that many movies have been made but they all suck; I, for example, hated the fact that in the 2004 version Antoine Fuqua turned Guinevere, who I always pictured as a delicate English rose, into a down - and - dirty young warrior woman with a bow and arrow. So, I have begun to create my own version in my head which hopefully some great director will make one day, an ensemble action/romance quadrilogy. Set in the Dark Ages after the fall of Rome, the Once & Future King, named after each of the four parts in the book by T.H. White. I won't give you all the details because I haven't got that far yet, but it's pretty close to the books. Here's the cast:
