On a different note, I'd like to see someone do a really good King Arthur movie. No fucking around with the legend and making him Roman or some other stupid crap; just a solid adaptation of The Once and Future King or Morte d'Arthur would be nice.
The problem with King Arthur is that the story has been told so often, people tend to try and "change" it. You know, to improve shit. Usually fails, but....

It's also not unsurprising that people would want to go to the Roman roots of Arthur, since a fair portion of the legend comes from them.

That being said, I'd really like a traditional Arthur.

However, if you're gonna go the route of a semi-historical Arthur, go for an adaptation of "Mad Merlin." I thoroughly enjoyed the book, which has no pretenses of historical accuracy, but uses a Roman and British backdrop.
