Ritchie And Wigram Plan Multi-Part King Arthur Saga

Warner Bros is reviving plans to put the King Arthur legend om film after several failed attempts says Deadline. This time the plan is more ambitious than ever.

Guy Ritchie, who was linked to direct  once before, is again in the big chair for this macro-budgeted fantasy retelling of the Arthur legend.

The idea is to spread the story over six films--Joby Harold penned the script for the first part.

 Akiva Goldsman, Lionel Wigram Harold and Tory Tunnell will produce.

Ritchie and Wigram developed a version that fell apart when David Dobkin's "Arthur & Lancelot" got much closer to production. Ultimately that project never came to be either due to budget issues.
