Guy Ritchie To Make Six Part KING ARTHUR Epic At Warner Bros?

A while back Warner Bros. had different directors putting together pitches for a new King Arthur movie. David Dobkin's Arthur and Lancelot tried to wrangle Colin Farrell and Gary Oldman, when the studio rejected the $130 budget along trying to cast unknowns Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) and Joel Kinnaman (Robocop).

Another project was a remake of the classic 80's film Excalibur, which had Bryan Singer attached but never really got it's legs. Singer went on to make Jack The Giant Slayer for the studio, and since has returned to the X-Men franchise to direct Days of Future Past and possibly Apocalypse.

Guy Richie (Sherlock Holmes, Snatch) was also trying to put together his own Arthur movie with Trainspotting screenwriter John Hodge. That project also didn't make it too far, as Arthur And Lancelot became the favorite at the studio.

Deadline has news that Guy Ritchie is looking revive the Arthur project at Warner Bros., with a new script from Joby Harold. They will try to establish a story that will span six films in total, a rather ambitious undertaking. Ritchie will seeming direct the first installment, no word if he'll stick around for all six movies. Guy is currently working on The Man From U.N.C.L.E, a film that also took forever to get casting and budget right, before the movie starring Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer got the green-light.

Colin Farrell In Talks For Arthur And Lancelot

ShowBlitz reports that the troubled Arthur And Lancelot has new life thanks to Colin Farrell (In Bruges, Total Recall). It's being reported that Farrell is in talks with Warner Bros. to take one of the two leads. Not too long again the studio put the movie on hold to figure out budgetary issues. This lead to their two leads Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) and Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) to drop out and sign on to other projects. Harington is taking a role in Seventh Son and Joel will be the new Robocop in MGM's reboot. Marion Cotillard (Inception, Dark Knight Rises) had been previously offered the role of Morgana as well.

Len Wiseman Says Total Recall Trailer Is Coming In March

While speaking with Collider director Len Wiseman (Underworld, Die Hard 4) revealed we could be seeing the Total Recall trailer sometime in March. He also mentioned that his director's cut of the reboot clocks in around two hours. Don't expect a Super Bowl ad this year as Sony passed on the $4 million price tag for a 30 second spot.

Kate Beckinsale Talks Total Recall

Kate Beckinsale while speaking with Collider about Underworld: Awakening revealed the details about playing Lori in the Total Recall reboot. Apparently, director Len Wiseman's take on her character was to combine both Lori (Sharon Stone) and Richter (Michael Ironside) into one single person. An interesting concept as it's the first time we've heard confirmation and reason why Richter had been left out of casting announcements. The reboot is set to be released on August 3rd 2012.

“It’s going really great, and everyone’s very excited about it.  I suppose the thing is, Sharon Stone’s interpretation of Lori is safe because my character is more… It is Lori, but it’s an amalgamation of Lori and Richter.  So I guess one of the differences about our movie as opposed to their movie is in that period of time they needed her to have a right hand man.  I am the right hand man and Lori at the same time.  So it’s a little bit more of an amalgamation of a couple of parts.”
