Hot on the heels of the success of Spartacus, Starz has a new show coming in April. I didn't catch a whole lot on this but I'm there.

Jamie Campbell Bower as King Arthur! I'm in Heaven! Looks like a great show all around.

Yeah, it looks like a good one. I'm a fan of Camelot movies like Sword and the Sorcerer, King Arthur and of course The Search for the Holy Grail.

Christ, Arthur is almost prettier than Guinevere. I kind of wish they'd found someone a bit manlier.

Hi Tristan, I hope that you'll like Jamie Campbell Bower as Arthur. He also played a lead in Sweeney Todd and is featured in the Harry Potter and Twilight series; personally I find him gorgeous but he also has some strong acting chops and a good singing voice--he's been one of my favorite actors (and heart throbs:) for awhile and I look forward to seeing what he'll bring to Camelot.

I'll give him a fair shot!

It really comes down to how he's scripted. By all the general legends, he gained rule at a very young age, but won the respect of his men by winning many battles against the invading Saxons. I would expect such a man to be a pretty ruthless and cunning hardass.

But, maybe I'm just entirely misreading their goal. Their top image seems to imply it's going to be more of a dreamy fantasy sort of a series, with perhaps a focus on romance. I sure would love a "gritty and real" King Arthur series. Can't win 'em all.

Talk about the magic of Camelot; this pic brought a big ol' grin to my face--I needed that!
