Hard as it may be to believe, but King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is finally hitting cinemas, with Roadshow thrusting it onto Australian screens from May 11, 2017. Thus, we get a new trailer that’s about on par with the old one – which was, if you recall, pants.
Directed by Guy Ritchie (c’mon, you know him) KA:LotS sees Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) stepping into the golden spurs of the Once and Future King, reimagined here as the kind of street smart chancer commonly found in every other bloody Guy Ritchie film. Jude Law is Vortigern, the evil warlord standing between the Boy King and his throne, while the rest of the cast includes Eric Bana, Djimon Hounsou, Astrid Berges-Frisbey, and Aidan Gillen. Expect swordplay, magic, prophecies, battles, and probably a jarringly anachronistic soundtrack.
