Well, this should be a different take on the Camelot legend. Called – creatively – Camelot:
“When an ancient magic reawakens in modern-day Manhattan, a graffiti artist named Art must team with his best friend Lance and his ex, Gwen — an idealistic cop — in order to realize his destiny and fight back against the evil forces that threaten the city.”
The pitch on this must have been fascinating.
“So, look, we got King Arthur, only he’s a graffiti artist, OK? And, here’s the thing… HE FIGHTS CRIME!”
“Whoa.”
“I know, right?”
“Is there magic?”
“…Sure!”
“Whoa.”
To be fair, it’s certainly stupid enough to even possibly work. It could, in fact, be fun with the right guy. Who should be black. Hell, get Chris Rock to be King Arthur; I’d watch that just to see the look on his face every week as he contemplates the nature of white people and the weird things we apparently want to watch.
I’m pretty sure I saw that book a few years back, and was almost amused enough to buy it.
I remember one where King Arthur comes back and decides to run for Mayor of NYC.
Banksy will be thrilled.

I do have to say, the Newsmax feed links “interrupting” the “pitch” was .. at first annoying, but then, how commercials interrupt TV, it seems .. fitting.
