Warner Bros. Sets Guy Ritchie Helmed 'King Arthur' for July 22nd, 2016

Though no cast members have been announced, Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures have taken the early step in dating their tentpole fantasy retelling, King Arthur, for July 22nd, 2016 with Guy Ritchie directing.

Ritchie - who has a good relationship with the studio having directed both Sherlock Holmes films as well as next year's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. - was rumored to be circling the project back in January with news now coming that he has officially signed on.

If you recall, Warner Bros. was looking to make their new take on the King Arthur legend a couple years back but ran into budget issues as well as being unable to land a bankable lead (Colin Farrel's name was thrown around along with up-and-comers Joel Kinnaman and Kit Harrington).

Now, the studio has signed both a familiar and capable action movie director to deliver - what they hope will be - the start of a new franchise.

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" Final Trailer

We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.

It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Film Ramping Up at Universal.

 

BattleStar Galactica has changed the science fiction landscape from the 1970s until the 2010s and Universal is hoping to have the same impact by gearing up the star-crossed saga for the big-screen treatment.

Variety got the exclusive:

Universal is ramping up a movie version of the sci-fi franchise “Battlestar Galactica,” aiming to develop the film as a complete reimagining of the story.

“Transcendence” writer Jack Paglen has signed on to write the screenplay. Paglen has also committed to Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus” sequel for Fox that will start production this fall.

Original series creator Glen Larson will produce the “Battlestar Galactica” film.

The science fiction tale of a colony of humans engaged in a deep war with creatures of their own design, Cylons, on a quest for the fabled planet known as "Earth" will be a complete retelling of the story, as imagined in the 4-season epic that aired on Sci-Fi channel that dealed with intense philisophical as well as religious themes while telling a more human story at the heart of a galaxy spanning struggle of espionage and corruption.

In my opinion a big science fiction farnchise would only be icing on the cake for Universal, who will be sitting on Jurassic World's big money next summer, as well as Fast & Furious 7 which will continue their record-breaking racing/crime saga.

While Universal has failed once recently with a potential sci-fi franchise (Battleship) they took a risk and won big with Snow White and the Huntsman in the same summer. 

Are you excited for Battlestar Galactica?
