Guy Ritchie Looking At A 6 Movie Deal With King Arthur

It seems that Warner Bros. King Arthur film might finally get off the ground, after years stuck in development and delays. According to Deadline, director Guy Ritchie is looking to make a tentpole fantasy version of King Arthur, meant to span six films.

Despite the risk of 6 films, Warner Bros. seem keen on having another Harry Potter type fantasy franchise under their belt, and this certainly fit the bill.

Ritchie was already developing a King Arthur movie, but unfortunately it fell through when Warner decided to go with David Dobkin’s Arthur & Lancelot, starring Kit Harrington and Joel Kinnaman, which also fell through but due to budget concerns by the studio.

Meanwhile the script for the first King Arthur seems to be done by Joby Harold (Awake) with Akiva Goldsman and Lionel Wigram as producers.
