King Arthur: Get your first look at Jude Law as a medieval villain

King Arthur

Posted July 14 2016 — 9:00 AM EDT

Did anyone really expect pub-brawl auteur Guy Ritchie (Snatch) to deliver a straightforward, hither-and-thither take on the once and future king? Of course not. In King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (due out March 24), he’s dirty and beat up and rugged.

And even though Charlie Hunnam might still pull a sword from a stone to begin his journey to the throne, his Arthur is a little more street than his forebears. “He’s a bit rough around the edges, but he’s basically a survivor,” Hunnam says. “There’s definitely a harder edge than people would imagine.”

That edge serves him well when dealing with his tyrannical uncle, Jude Law’s Vortigern, who’s got more than a bad boy appeal to defend himself.

As the murderer of his brother and Arthur’s dad Uther Pendragon (Eric Bana) and the usurper of the throne, Vortigern has done more than enough to earn his nephew’s wrath, but backing him is a set of deadly magical powers that give him the upper hand.So King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is a bit of high fantasy meets Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. No word yet on whether this Arthur’s court will feature bare-knuckle boxing, but — let’s be real — probably. eb8bc2eb9c7a99be0245af94f14639ee.jpg king-arthur-2_0.jpg
 
First ‘King Arthur: Legend of the Sword’ Images Reveal Jude Law’s Villain, Charlie Hunnam’s Hero
Almost exactly one year ago today, we got our first “look” at director Guy Ritchie’s bold new King Arthur movie via a photoshoot spread in EW. Now, 12 months later, the film still isn’t even that close to release, but the first official images from the film have been unveiled revealing Jude Law as the villainous Vortigern, the tyrannical uncle of Charlie Hunnam’s titular hero Arthur. In this iteration of the tale, Arthur is spurred into action when Vortigern murders Arthur’s brother and dad (Eric Bana), therefore usurping the throne.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword originated with screenwriter Joby Harold, whose initial pitch covered a series of King Arthur films that could extend for a very lengthy franchise. Ritchie came in and put his stamp on the screenplay alongside frequent collaborator Lionel Wigram and filled out the cast with Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Djimon Hounsou, and Aidan Gillen.

We still don’t know too much about King Arthur, but it’s said to be a “bold” new vision of the classic story as told through the eyes of Ritchie, complete with magic and fantasy flourishes. I’ll admit I’m not the biggest fan of Ritchie’s work, but the guy knocked it out of the park with last year’s criminally underrated The Man from U.N.C.L.E. so I’m eager to see what he brings to the sweeping fantasy genre—and if audiences respond in kind.
 
Charlie Hunnam: King Arthur is Lord of the Rings meets Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
'We’ve created this sort of street version of him,' the actor says

This is not your grandparents’ King Arthur, folks. Charlie Hunnam plays a new spin on the iconic medieval hero who he describes as “a little rough around the edges.”

As the actor explains to EW at Comic-Con, Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword sets aside the traditional “noble” pursuits of the character and focuses instead on “the reality of who this dude is.” Hunnam tells EW’s Darren Franich. “He’s a guy who’s growing up in abject poverty, but he’s a survivor. So, we created this sort of street version of him where he’s like a bit of a rude boy.”

What does this all amount to? “I’ve always sort of pitched this, but I’m not sure if anyone at the studio will like this, but when my friends have asked me about this film, I’ve said it’s Lord of the Rings meets Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,” Hunnam says. “As unlikely as the two films collide and seem, that seems to be what we’ve created here.”charlie-hunnam-king-arthur-trailer-04.jpg charlie-hunnam-king-arthur-trailer-01.jpg
 
‘King Arthur: Legend of the Sword’ Trailer Shows Charlie Hunnam as Buff, Streetwise Hero (Video)

Guy Ritchie may be the best thing to happen to medieval times since “Game of Thrones.”

The director’s vision of “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” was presented to San Diego Comic-Con at the Warner Bros. panel on Saturday, and Ritchie’s high-octane sensibilities seemed to agree with the sword in stone.


The king himself, “Sons of Anarchy” alum Charlie Hunnam, was on hand to present the first look. Ritchie’s swift, almost-POV camerawork was on display — as was Hunnam’s enviable physique.
Hunnam seems much more like a street hustler than royalty in the action flick, but it works to his advantage. Jude Law makes for a compelling villain, with welcome appearances from Djimon Hounsou and Eric Bana.

Warner Bros. unleashes the retelling on March 24, 2017 in the U.S.
 
Charlie Hunnam to premiere project at New York film fest

Charlie Hunnam — the hunk best known for quitting the “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie franchise — will show off a project he chose instead, “The Lost City of Z,” when it premieres at the New York Film Festival on Oct. 15.

Hunnam plays British explorer Percy Fawcett in the film, which was originally meant to star Brad Pitt (who produced), and also includes Robert Pattinson and Sienna Miller.

Meanwhile, Hunnam’s much-delayed Guy Ritchie King Arthur epic has been pushed to a March release.
 
Rami Malek in talks to star Papillon remake alongside Charlie Hunnam

Rami Malek might soon be headed from the cyber world of hacktivism to the criminal underworld. The Mr. Robot star is in talks for a lead role in the upcoming remake of Franklin J. Schaffner’s Oscar-nominated 1973 film Papillon, EW has confirmed.

If cast, Malek will play Louis Dega, a counterfeiter who seeks protection from Henri Charriere (Charlie Hunnam) as a gang of thugs pursues him. Based on Charriere’s real-life memoirs, the film follows the pair as their relationship deepens, spanning Charriere’s days as a petty criminal to his unjust incarceration for murder (and subsequent escape). While the original film was set in 1930s France, the new production is a contemporary retelling. Dustin Hoffman played Dega in Schaffner’s version, while Steve McQueen took on the role of Charriere.
Michael Noer (Northwest) is directing the project from a script written by Prisoners scribe Aaron Guzikowski. The film’s producing team includes Joey McFarland, Riza Aziz, David Koplan, Ram Bergman, and Roger Corbi. Danny Dimbort and Christian Mercuri are executive-producing the Papillon remake alongside Kevan Van Thompson, Yan-Fischer-Romanovsky, Joshua D. Mauer, Terrence Chang, and Martin Hellstern.

Red Granite International purchased domestic rights to the film earlier this year at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. Deadline, which first reported the Malek news, states that production is set to begin next month and will shoot in Belgrade, Montenegro, and Thailand

Charlie Hunnam and Lea Seydoux will star in director Drake Doremus' next film.

Doremus, the director being Like Crazy, recently helmed the science-fiction film Equals starring Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult.

The currently untitled project is being described as a "unique love story" by sources but all other plot details are being kept under wraps. Rich Greenberg wrote the screenplay.

Ridley Scott's production banner Scott Free Productions, which also worked with Doremus on Equals, is producing.

Hunnam, who starred in FX's his series Sons of Anarchy, will next be seen in Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, hitting theaters in March, and James Gray’s Lost City of Z.

Charlie Hunnam Drama 'Lost City of Z' Lands at Amazon Studios (Exclusive)

The streaming giant has acquired North American rights to the film, which is set in the Brazilian rain forest.

Welcome to the jungle, Amazon.

The streaming giant is in final negotiations to acquire North American rights to the Charlie Hunnam drama The Lost City of Z, set in the Brazilian rain forest.

The film, which also stars Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson and Sienna Miller, is directed by James Gray and produced by Brad Pitt's Plan B.

The project, based on David Grann's best-selling book of the same name, was originally set up at Paramount, where Pitt has a first-look deal. But the studio stalled on getting the drama off the ground, and Gray took back the rights and assembled independent financing from MICA Entertainment.
Set in 1925, the true-life drama centers on British explorer Col. Percival Fawcett (Hunnam), who disappeared while searching for a mysterious city in the Amazon.

CAA, which reps Hunnam, Gray and Pitt, brokered the deal for the film, which adds a big-budget epic to Amazon's portfolio.

Sierra/Affinity handled international sales at the European Film Market and will continue to sell remaining territories at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival. With Lost City of Z going to Amazon on the eve of TIFF, there will be heightened interest from buyers for another Hunnam film, Papillon, which also is being shopped at the market.

Lost City of Z's landing at Amazon provides a final dramatic twist for the long-gestating project, which was originally developed as a Pitt starring vehicle. Benedict Cumberbatch also was previously set to star but bowed out to headline Marvel’s Doctor Strange movie.

As with all of its film deals, Amazon partners with traditional distributors to include a theatrical component to its releases, as it did with Woody Allen’s Cafe Society, Nicholas Winding Refn’s The Neon Demon and Whit Stillman’s Love & Friendship. Likewise, it will partner with a distributor for Lost City of Z at a later date, but insiders say Paramount may re-emerge in that capacity.

Lost City of Z will make its world premiere at the New York Film Festival on Oct. 15 in the prime
closing-night spot.

Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner are producing via Plan B alongside Dale Johnson and Anthony Katagas. Marc Butan is executive producing, as are MICA Entertainment’s Julie B. May and Glenn Murray.
