I mean there are original (or at least, oldest surviving) King Arthur stories. It just means faithful to those, instead of new interpretations.

There was a king in England named Arthur at that time, but there are no historical documents about him. We don't know anything about his reign. Everything in the legend was made up by dudes with much free time on their hands

What kind of dumb takeaway is that? There's the legend (or, to be more accurate, legends) of Arthur, from which all movie adaptations have been more or less faithful to. If he's talking about making a faithful adaptation of one of the legends, that is very doable.

There's no chance that someone like Snyder would, though.

But theres no definitive version which is presumably their problem. What does "faithful" mean in this context?

yeah, if someone said they're going to make a "faithful retelling" of The Little Mermaid, I'm just going to assume it's going to be closer to the novel than the Disney version and not that the director, like, believes in mermaids lmao.

But tweet is right in that it's probably going to be fucking terrible. (But credit where credit is due, the action scenes are going to be amazefuck )

The legend predates England as a nation state. If he existed he lived in the time when England was made up of independent small kingdoms. Also some evidence suggests the legend actually originally comes from Wales

The scene where the prince laughs while the mermaid bleeds to death is gonna be in the live action remake. The hard part is coming up with the right lyrics for it. That's the thing about musicals.

There's like 3-4 different contradictory legends.

Now granted he's probably thinking of a very specific one but you run into problems like these with old stories written by a multitude of people with no concern for consistency because they weren't collaborating with each other.

Depending on who you ask, for example, Medusa was either a beautiful woman who was cursed by Athena for daring to be raped in her temple or she was always hideous and just hated people for no reason.

She was then killed by Perseus who used the mirror shield to reflect her gaze or he actually used the mirror shield on himself so that he could look at medusa without looking directly at her and strike her that way.

Maybe he'll adapt The Once and Future King? That would probably need multiple movies but it's a pretty comprehensive story of King Arthur's life.

French director Eric Rohmer made a faithful adaptation of the story of Percival. It was faithful down to the use of heavily stylized, theatrical costumes and mannerisms, as they may (perhaps) have been seen by 12th century theatergoers, with dialogue and a singing chorus taken straight from source texts, rhyming couplets and all. Its so classical its basically a work of avant garde cinema. So, your move, Zack Snyder.

He came up when that was all the rage and made it his defining trait above everything else in terms of making a movie. I would say most filmmakers grew out of it but I think he's the last of his ilk still working in Hollywood. Color grading is an unappreciated art.

King Arthur's legend is a real thing though

It's not a uniform legend, is it? Like, I feel like there's specifically a Christian Holy Grail version of the legend, and a more pagan version, not to mention significant differences within just the different Grail cycles.

But maybe those pagan interations are modern recreations, that could also be.
