Warner Bros. has purchased the spec screenplay Arthur and Lancelot from filmmaker David Dobkin.
The script ignited a bidding war between Warner Bros., Fox, and
Universal, which Warner Bros. won with a hefty $2 million bid. The
project is described as a modern reimagining of the King Arthur and Sir Lancelot legendary tales.

David Dobkin will direct from his own screenplay and produce alongside Lionel Wigram. Jeff Kleeman will executive produce Arthur and Lancelot.
The project is budgeted at $90 million, although it isn’t known when production might start on Arthur and Lancelot.

Here’s what Dobkin (whose previous credits include the raunchy comedies Wedding Crashers and the upcoming The Change-Up) said he’s done with the Arthurian legend for Arthur & Lancelot:

“I pulled the legend apart. I only kept a few
things. I kept certain characters, I recreated the entire launch of the
legend and why it starts the way that it starts, I don’t want to give
away too much but it’s always had a flaw. I pulled the flaws out, I reinvented the characters as grounded characters. I took a much more realistic and
grounded approach towards everybody, you know why would this character
be this way and why would this character be that way? You know
Arthur’s superpower is compassion and vision. I will tell you this, the
whole thing is wrapped around the birth of democracy as a concept and it’s positing Arthur as the first man to say all men are created equal.”
