Many, many years ago there was a guy named Arthur who found a sword in a lake and this fact allowed him to rule a country and force grown men to fetch his dining ware. All this was well documented in the 1981 movie EXCALIBUR by John Boorman. Well, in case you can’t find the original in your local video rental store or on the vastness of the internet, Bryan Singer has decided to remake it and put it once again in the movie theaters. This sad news comes from The Hollywood Reporter.
I haven’t seen EXCALIBUR in years, but I remember it being pretty awesome and extremely muddy. I like Bryan Singer as a director, but this worries me because he seems to have a ton of remakes lined-up and remakes are the turkey-bacon of films (it might be kind of tasty, but it’s never as good as the original).
