With the growing edict that a movie is not really a movie unless it is six movies, all interconnected by a sprawling mythology, Warner Bros. has naturally been chasing a modern update of the original fantasy franchise that isn’t the Bible: the legend of King Arthur. And while it stopped just short of attempts to develop David Dobkin’s Arthur And Lancelot and a Guy Ritchie-directed remake of Excalibur, Warners is now reportedly ready to commit to a Ritchie-led retelling of Arthurian legend spread across six whole films—to start. Deadline reports that the script for the first chapter has already been drafted by Awake writer Joby Harold, whose only previous dalliance with fantasy involved believing that Hayden Christensen and Jessica Alba could carry a movie, and that this lays out the foundation for at least five more movies to follow, not counting the inevitable Merlin spinoff.
