Historians have thought for centuries that King Arthur was only a myth, but the legend was based on a real hero, torn between his private ambitions and his public sense of duty. A reluctant leader, Arthur (Owen) wishes only to leave Britain and return to the peace and stability of Rome. Before he can, one final mission leads him and his Knights of the Round Table – Lancelot, Galahad, Bors, Tristan, and Gawain – to the conclusion that when Rome is gone, Britain will need a leader to fill the vacuum. Britain needs a king – someone not only to defend against the current threat of invading Saxons, but to lead the isle into a new age. Under the guidance of Merlin, a former enemy, and the beautiful, courageous Guinevere (Knightley) by his side, Arthur will have to find the strength within himself to change the course of history.

June 25, 2004: Pics: King Arthur:
Not much to report on
this film, other than the fact that our very own (lucky) Thomas

June 15, 2004: King Arthur TV spots & pics:
I've been pretty "so-so" on KING

May 12, 2004: New Arthur poster:
Were it not for the presence of the oh so lovely Keira Knightley, I don't think I could give a hoot about this summer's KING ARTHUR . I like Antoine Fuqua and Jerry Bruckheimer did a great job last summer with PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN but... I don't know the...

Keeping up with all the beautiful women of cinema can be pretty confusing and

December 23, 2003: Trailer fit for a King:
I didn't really care much at all about Disney's KING ARTHUR until I saw those shots (like the one to your right) of Keira Knightley wearing nothing but a thin strap of leather across her chest. It's like the producers were reading my mind. All the sudden I was...
October 17, 2003: Keira's King Arthur pics:
UPDATE! - Once Disney's legal team got word of the below-mentioned pics online, you can assure they were on the phone with Liam from Empire Movies telling/asking him to take them down (or else). Liam did and shortly thereafter we were contacted by a Disney rep...
