Before he was king, Arthur was a soldier who longed to be home. Before she was queen, Guinevere was a warrior fighting to protect her village. For years the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table has been believed to be one filled with sorcery and magic. That was your father’s King Arthur. The new film KING ARTHUR tells the tale of the Knights of the Round Table and Camelot, but without the emphasis on wizardry. The KING ARTHUR soundtrack, featuring music composed by Hans Zimmer (GLADIATOR, THE LAST SAMURAI) is however magical. The soundtrack features the new track, “Tell Me Now (What You See)” performed by Moya Brennan. As the Roman Empire is about to pull out of Britain, Artorius, or Arthur (Clive Owen), a hero of Roman and British parentage, sees that devastation will follow. Though a dedicated Christian, his first loyalty is to the pagan Knights, whom he must free from their servitude from Rome so they can return to their ancestral homeland in Sarmatia. During this last mission, he must lead his Knights of the Round Table deep into enemy territory. Here, Arthur, Lancelot, Galahad, Bors, Tristan, Dagonet and Gawain are forced to confront their traditional enemy: Merlin and his indigenous guerilla armies. Disdainfully called 'Woads' by the Knights for the Woad plant they use to dye their bodies, Arthur and his Knights will see these guerillas are the soul of Britain, devastated by generations of Roman rule. Now, with Rome gone, and without the help of Arthur and his knights, the invading Saxons will roll over the people like an avalanche. Under the guidance of the shaman, Merlin and the beautiful, courageous Guinevere (Keira Knightley), Arthur will fight to change the face of history. From producer Jerry Bruckheimer ('Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,' 'Black Hawk Down') and director Antoine Fuqua ('Training Day') comes Touchstone Pictures' / Jerry Bruckheimer Films' KING ARTHUR a spectacular, epic tale of one man's destiny to become a king. The film opens on July 7. The Hollywood Records soundtrack, featuring score by Hans Zimmer will be in stores on July 27. For more information, contact cinemediapromo@yahoo.com |
