The King Arthur movie trailer is up:
http://kingarthur.movies.go.com/main.html

It looks good, but is it just me, or is the entire trailer war-themed? It looks a complete war movie. I love war movies and all but that's really not the basis of the King Arthur legend.

Guinevere looks the complete opposite of every description of her ever written--what happened to the docile, blond haired, green eyed Guin we all know? Maybe this version of her will be better though.

It's hard to judge quite yet, I mean, it's just the trailer. What do you all think?

I agree 100%. If one happens to like Mists of Avalon,, then it's all good, I won't begrudge you. I never was interested in it myself. But some pple go way overboard and act like MZB's books are "omg,the 1 TrU veRshun!!1one".

I don't understand how anyone can talk about any Arthurian character like s/he has One True Personality/Role In The Story.

Isn't it just irriatating? I chalk a lot of this up to pure ignorance.

Dunno, but I think it's kind of a pity. That's one of the things I love about legends, how there are layers and layers and different versions.
