Expect a very serious and dour King Arthur film from Guy Ritchie if the new poster for KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD is any indication.Â
Featuring Charlie Hunnam front and center with a sword and pose that says "Winter is coming," this first one sheet looks to be leading into our first peek at a trailer for Ritchie's movie, which should premiere over the weekend at Comic-Con. But there's nothing eye-catching about it. It's not very visually appealing. It certainly isn't exciting, and I'm not exactly sure what type of emotion it's trying to make me feel as I'm looking at it. I'd give it sleepy, but that's not really an emotion, is it?
The film is said to be King Arthur meets LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS, but I'm not getting any of that here.
I guess we'll find out soon enough though if Warner Bros. may be underplaying this right now, which seems foolish… but hey, you never know.
KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD opens on March 24, 2017.
