Thoughts on the new King Arthur trailer? https://www.youtub

It's been done.

Why not Charlemagne or some shit.

Hollywood is dead.

I'm down. I can always appreciate some medieval kino, be it early, high or late.

>>79642894
All this weird, hyper-stylised and heavily altered fairytale shit is freaking me out.

We had those Alice in Wonderland films a few years back, then the Snow White shit, then they built onto that universe with the weird "Huntsman" stuff, then the Hansel & Gretel shit.

Who watches this stuff and who the fuck directs it? Garbage like Transformers I understand, but this just baffles me.

>>79643058
Remind me of those Children of the Forest from GoT.

This is trash

>Its another King Arthur movie with late medieval aesthetics and not sub-roman pre-dark-age aesthetics

Arthur movies are either Imperial Roman or late Medieval. Really grinds my gears.

Late Roman/ Early Dark Ages is best aesthetic.

why is there a black guy?
why is there rock music playing in the trailer?
why the anachronisms?

>King Arthur and his squire Kang Artha

Honestly, that looked pretty good, not like that means anything

You know what also had a great trailer?

How likely do you think it would have been for a couple of Nubians to have arrived in Britannia circa 500 AD, let alone join the army of Arthur? Arthur would have been in parts of England just a little past current Cornwall or Wales at the time, fighting the Saxons, Angles, and Jutes for every inch of land, for both glory and protecting the Britons from the recent invaders. A better, but nearly as exotic (for the time) choice would have been to include a couple of Slavic or Hunnic mercenaries to Arthur's retinue/army. The last King Arthur movie was almost along the lines of my suggestions, but they still missed a lot regarding historical accuracy of the period. This new King Arthur movie seems to be based on later medieval interpretations of the legend, which is not as appealing to me as the Late Roman and Dark Ages one that originated it. To truly do the Arthurian legend, it needs an atmosphere most similar to Total War: Attila (400s-500s AD), and not Medieval II: Total War (Beginning 1080 AD), in other words. At least Vortigern is supposed to make an appearance in this movie, who was a historical figure of the Arthurian time period. Mostly, I wish the weapons and armor were less Late Medieval looking, and more Late Roman and Dark Ages in style.

>>79642978
What are examples of movies that have been made about Emperor Charlemagne? I'm genuinely interested.

>>79644138

Considering the highly inaccurate armor displayed in those screenshots I imagine it doesn't really matter at all.

Just think of it all happening in a parallel universe.

>>79642894

not into this kind of stories but..

what's the point on showing the pulling out of the sword in the trailer?
wouldn't you want to make that scene the most thrilling and iconic of all in that kind of movie hence not showing it in the first trailer?

also guy ritchie's a hack. snatch was a decent fluke his other movies are trash tier.

After the inaccuracies already present in the 2004 King Arthur movie, despite close-enough armor and weapons, and the general 5th century AD time period, I feel like we've regressed back to the "King Arthur is a late medieval English King" meme. He should be depicted more like an early Welsh/Romano-British leader.

>>79643591
why would you shoot arrows at a man before throwing him off a tower?

OK, but who plays Merlin? Are they gonna show us how Merlin grooms Artoria but instead of fucking him, gives her a dick to bone Morgana and create Mordred? Why is Arthur a grown man when pulling out Caliburn? Are they gonna show us how Lancelot grows up with the lady of the lake ad then tries to cuck his King? Are they gonna ned it with Artoria dying at the sword of her daughter????

>>79643466
On this one I can agree. The overall lefty sentiment and fear of overt signs of "rightist" shit makes it more authoritarian instead of something like Branagh's Henry V where it basks in nationalistic shit, "our king is godly, heil" etc

And yeah it feels really jewy or like a tumblr potter fangirl view of leftism. Like star wars' nazi salute

>>79644810
Yeah, the movie's compromised by that, but I'll probably end up seeing it at some point because I'm interested in Arthurian legends.

>>79644703

that's the point? everyone knows the scene is going to happen.
an ambitious film maker will make the how it's happening into something special that has a new touch. it's not that hard since the best and only memorable arthur story we had was very much based in the realm of polished fantasm.

guess you just film 3 shots of nails getting hammered into hands and feet and skip to the part where he's dead right? moronic arugment
just because audience knows a certain scene is happening doesn't mean you should just skip telling the story your way.

>>79642978
Charlemagne would likely seem too right wing for Hollywood to make a movie about him. They wouldn't even go near Charles Martel, his grandfather, who defeated the Muslim army invading France at the Battle of Tours. Even Donald Trump was recently compared to Charlemagne, and it was not meant to be positive, despite a once widely-accepted positive view of Charlemagne himself, the founder of the Holy Roman Empire.

>>79644790
Apart from Merlin, none of this characters are going to appear in this film - at least according to the imdb casting.

No Morgana, Lancelot, Guinevere, etc…

>It is the first installment of a planned six film series

so expect them in the sequels I guess

>>79645122
They're quite optimistic about those sequels.

>Charlie Hunman
I'll skip it.

>>79644501
It would seem fitting for Hollywood to try to do a movie about the Persian Empire and Cyrus the Great, depicting them as reasonable, or even good, instead of the 300 style monstrous villains.

>>79642894
Ive commented to much on this piece of shit in earlier threads but the one thing that i still cant get over is that they got charlie hunman as the lead actor.

A highly ranking knight? That sounds even more implausible, if not impossible. I'm trying to visualize what a sub-Saharan African of the early middle ages would be able to do to 1. reach Britain, 2. know enough of the language of Arthur's people (would it be Latin or Celtic Brythonic over there?), 3. to not only enlist but achieve the rank of a knight. Arthur was supposed to be from a time well before even the Arabs and the Berbers became Islamized, let alone recruited sub-Saharan African soldiers and mercenaries into their forces. While we're at it, we should have a far easterner from China serving with Arthur, which would balance out the diversity of his knightly order quite well.

It is a sub saharan african wearing a coif without an cloth padding, making it literally useless, wearing apparently a pot on his head which is what happens when you opt out of the apparently optional nasal guard of the classic Nasal Helm, and using what looks like a Heater shield with the bottom cut out for unknown reasons. The sword checks out, but the pommel looks like it has a wheel pommel, which would have us looking at early 14th century.

This, is what happens when you put a fucking sub saharan african in what is apparently late 12th century england.

We seem to have come full circle with other decades, in making the typical hair styling mistakes against historical accuracy.

>>79648011

>>79648011
The trailer is literally Guy Ritchie thinking he's doing another British hip action movie (I like to call it Guy Richie's Tarantino impression). He literally plays Rock music in the trailer. This is the most popular mythology in the English language. Not a fucking hipster gangster movie.

>>79643353
people liked A Knights Tale a lot.

>>79644723

A) he didn't exist
B) the "King Arthur is a late medieval English King" meme was started by The Once and Future King, one of the greatest recent additions to the Arthurian lore, and a great contributor to modern versions of the tale. Another novel that does this is Kevin Crossley-Holland's The Seeing Stone, though in that there is a 12th century plot in which a young squire called Arthur living in the real world is given visions of a parallel life wherein he is King of the Britons.

There are lots of novels that 'accurately' place King Arthur in an actually realistic historical context, like Rosemary Sutcliff's The Lantern Bearers, Stephen R. Lawhead's The Pendragon Cycle, or Bernard Cornwell's The Warlord Chronicles, but often pre-modern works locate him in some unknown Medieval age analogous with the Age of Chivalry, like Tennyson's Idylls of the King.

Tolkien's The Fall of Arthur takes an almost Saxon approach in the storytelling, giving it a Beowulf vibe, which is also 'inaccurate'. If you're gonna get mad about every version of King Arthur you see taking place in a time when the myths were most popular rather than when they were supposed to happen, then just read the original Matter of Britain stuff, like the Mabinogion, the Annales Cambriae, the Historia Brittonum, and the writings of Gildas. Or just memorise the entirety of Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae.

Almost none of it is actually historically tenable, however. Ambrosius Aurelianus probably existed.

The stories have almost always been an anachronism reflecting the times they were written. Do you really think modern Hollywood invented this?

You need to watch the short film Black Angel. Which inspired the look of Excalibur... oddly enough George Lucas commission it.

>>79648228
Tolkien took the Saxon approach because that is the time period of the original inspiration

>>79648394
By all means, I hope I'm wrong. The Once and Future King is one of my favorite books. I'm just saying, my expectations dropped big time once I heard Guy Ritchie and saw the trailer.

>>79648425
Well it was attached to Empire Strikes Back. Remember, we are talking Lucas' bread and butter. Star wars being a homage to classic cinema, was also inspired by short episodic films that would be attached to feature films in cinema. Not a suprise that he would want something like this. This type of Arthurian/medieval fantasy setting fits perfectly with star wars. It looks so good. Excalibur has some of my all time favorite cinematography.

Well Excalibur was dark and dirty in it's visuals and gore.

But the tone was very dream-like. I wouldn't say straightforward at all. It actually dealt with some more in-depth themes like the King being the God of the land... and not Jesus being God. And how his Kingdom would wither if he did...

You want a dry, straightforward Arthur movie, watch The First Knight.

i miss the days of violently exploding squibs and blood packs and violent flashy gore being commonplace in R rated action movies like Robocop and Starship Troopers (normie examples)
now it's all fucking cgi blood and shitty sex jokes (fuck deadpool and fuck American Ultra)

where's my ultra violence?
where's my exploding squibs and fountains of blood?

We're living in an era where people think light bondage porn is "extreme."

Where anything remotely offensive to any minority is decried by self-loathing SJWs.

Where people actually think they have a right to not be offended by something... usually something they voluntarily consume.

All this because someone decided to let the normies on the internet.

>>79650899
Probably not. I didn't make it. You could find countless good stills from the film though.

When did Guy Ritchie start doing shit like this? Why can't he keep making more Snatch-like kino?

I remember seeing this one with just nine, or was it ten, screenshots made into a grid, it was pretty good.

>Well Excalibur was dark and dirty in it's visuals and gore
But it's also is at times colorful, joyous, and beautiful. Today's films in medieval settings tend to be exclusively bleak and gritty. Excalibur wouldn't work if the film had the same tone as part in which they search for the grail.
>You want a dry, straightforward Arthur movie, watch The First Knight.
That's exactly what I don't want. I want something that's charming and fantastical. It's just that the methods of making it not dry are totally wrongheaded. I wish someone could make a medieval film like pic related, but I doubt anyone would be able to take it seriously.

it's not even the normies taking offense to minor shit that annoys me, it's this overuse of CGI.
sure, these dumb cunts pushing a progressive agenda into entertainment is trash, but where's the violent substance in R rated movies?

CGI ruined hollywood, not the jews, even if they are pushing this shit

>>79651689

All that grit isn't there because of the loud minority and that CGI gore is cheaper believe it or not since you don't have to do expensive retakes.

>>79651253
Aurthurian legend is very dark in a greek tragedy sense, but it can end in a very positive light. I'm tired of the crap we get today. It's always these morally grey heroes and villains. Nobody understands what a hero is anymore. This could have been a great opportunity to bring back the classic hero journey. This could have been Star Wars 1977 of our time and bring back the classic cinema and storytelling. It's such a missed opportunity. I don't mind deconstructing the story and having a hip film, but that's all we get these days.

But chinese hate women and niggers in movies?

I remember the first trailer being a lot of whiplash. It went from what I thought was going to be medieval Snatch to a cgi-heavy Arthurian fantasy epic in the span of like two minutes.

This trailer seems to be doubling down on the anachronistic music to emphasize that an off-kilter tone when approaching this material.

I'll probably go see it because I like Ritchie.

>>79651025
>No one has the balls to make an R rated movie today.

This thing has had its release date pushed three times in less than two years, it went through two pricey rounds of reshoots, and had its special effects and soundtrack/score completely redone from scratch. It was intended to launch a three-to-six film franchise before the dailies spooked the suits and it was hastily rewritten. It has also been recut at least once and had its title changed.

None of this inspires confidence. Warner Bros clearly knows it has an epic stinker on its hands.

>Charlemagne would likely seem too right wing for Hollywood to make a movie about him.

Why don't the French make a film about him then? Oh that's right, their movie industry is currently irrelevant. The UK is home to numerous film studios and world leading production crews, it's why Hollywood uses their facilities and makes stories based on the country.

Saw a prescreening of this end of last year. I love Guy Ritchie but this was shit. Both me and my friend both commented how they gave him Robin Hood's origin. And we both were blown away when the writer of this is also writing Robin Hood : Origins

Also if Warners doesn't know its shit Ritchie sure does, this film obviously needs at least one sequel to even be King Arthur-esque and Ritchie has been booking other jobs so I doubt a sequel will happen.

Why does Hollywood have to always try to put a hip spin on movies set in medieval/classic/ancient times

Like fuck, it's not that hard to take a collectively accepted Arthurian legend and just fucking run with it. I would personally choose Once and Future King simply because it's super comfy and I love the Merlin backwards time travel bullshit he describes. I would pay out the ass to see a live action pure OAFK film.

Tfw when you'll never get the fully fleshed out Lancelot the ill Made Knight story. Tfw no Merlin knowingly walking into a trap to get locked in a fucking cave because of good pussy. Tfw no Wart. Tfw no Robin Hood encounter. Tfw no Might is right debates. Tfw no sister fucking.

But that's just what I want.
