I’m going to go against the grain of the Internet here - this next trailer came as a delighful surprise: Guy Ritchie’s take on the Arthurian legend - King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.

Pacific Rim star Charlie Hunnam takes on the role of this version of Arthur, and much like Ritchie’s version of Sherlock Holmes, it’s a very modern, flashy, slick, and surreal take on a timeless story.

I can completely see why this wouldn’t work for some people, but I was sold on its irreverant sense of humor and style for days. My question: is this REALLY still set for a SIX FILM series?

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword gets knighted on March 24, 2017.
