Oh god, he looks dreadful.

Sum1, you seem really underwhelmed by the casting of "Jon Snow" as Arthur. Maybe the producers wanted to capitalize on the popularity of Game of Thrones.

He looks like an ineffectual wimp and he's got an annoying sulk and his hair is stomach-turning. I'm sick of wimpy Arthurs. There's so many of them. At least Bradley James is an exception. He's my favorite Arthur after Richard Harris.

Mergana

I think Bradley James is exceptional. Inn general, I think Merlin's Arthur is very well written, not a whipmy brat, but brave and caring too.

Now for Kit, isn't Arthur supposed to be blonde?

sum1

Not necessarily blonde, no.

Mergana

Oh, that's how he is in all the adaptions I'vve seen I guess.

sum1

Have you seen Excalibur?

Mergana

The one with Helen Mirren? I've seen some parts.

sum1

Well he's not blonde in that.

sum1

Tried to watch the Burns family Pendragon film. I gave up a ways in. It was awful. There was even one actress, the main female role, who mumbled her lines so you couldn't hear them, like some shy kid at a grade school play. She was Guinevere and I think she's the sister of the actor who played Arthur.

Mergana

Never watched it. Not sure I will now.

sum1

Not worth it.

malaguetta

You deserve a commendation for watching some of the Burns family Pendragon movie. What I saw of it was pretty terrible. I think the mumbling Guinevere also did the costumes.

sum1

I definitely deserve some sort of reward. It was hard going.

'Dark Knight Rises' Actress Offered 'Arthur & Lancelot'

Depending upon whether you're a bigger fan of film or television, Marion Cotillard could be the biggest name actor to come to Warner Bros' upcoming "Arthur & Lancelot."

The Academy Award-winning actress has been offered the role of Arthur's sorceress half-sister Morgana, according to Vulture. They're saying that she is now officially in the Warner Bros clubhouse thanks to her roles in "Inception" and "The Dark Knight Rises," which is likely why she's getting first pick at the role."

Cotillard would be joining "Game of Thrones's" Kit Harrington and "The Killing's" Joel Kinnaman as the titular Arthur and Lancelot.

The retelling of the beloved medieval tale was both written and directed by David Dobkin. Not much is known about the film in terms of its content, but apparently it's not going to be very similar to his previous work like "The Change-Up" and "Wedding Crashers."

"It's faithful to the time period," Dobkin told MTV News earlier this year. "It's kind of a cool, fun graphic novel approach to Arthur and Lancelot, so it's cool," he promised. "It's awesome, edgy and dark."

After "The Dark Knight Rises," Cotillard still has a couple projects on her line-up. She is currently filming the French flick "Rust and Bones," and is also attached to an untitled James Gray project and the crime drama "Blood Ties." She likely will film this after she finishes "Rust and Bones," though.
