| Summary |
King Arthur and his knights have awoken
to bring tourists
to his land
as
the latest Jerry Bruckheimer
in London today
(15 July 2004) and hits cinemas across the UK from 30th July.
King Arthur [[[[[[[[['the-Movie]]]]]]]]]
is being heralded as the most realistic
version of the historical facts behind the myth.
To tie in with its global release,
VisitBritain - the authority for tourism in Britain -
[[[[[[[[[
VisitBritain 's the UK gov official authorrity 4[for] tourism in UK
]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
has joined forces with Touchstone Pictures
and Buena Vista International
and published a
King Arthur Movie Map
King Arthur Movie Map
to help position Britain as the definitive destination
for British and international visitors interested in the ancient legend
This summer, audiences will discover
the roots of one of Britain's most enduring legends
with the release of King Arthur, starring an all-star British cast including Clive Owen, Keira Knightley, Ray Winstone and Wales' Ioan Gruffudd. Director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) and screenwriter David Franzoni (Gladiator) bring a spectacular, epic tale of chivalry, bravery, and one man's destiny to the big screen. Thrilling adventure, edge-of-your-seat action and historical grandeur come together in this contemporary and fresh look at the origins of a legendary hero. The film sets the record straight historically, by taking us back to the 5th century - the Roman Britain of the Dark Ages. Stripped of the elaborate magic and romance of the medieval stories, King Arthur presents a new but authentic image of Arthur, Guinevere, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table.
The UK's leading Arthurian expert John Matthews
- who
has spent more than 30 years studying the Arthurian legend and
was the consultant historian on the film
- believes the stories are based on a real historical figure
who was a Roman commander on Hadrian's Wall
in Cumbria
in the 5th Century.
He said:
``In my opinion
the film comes closer to historical truth than any yet made.
It will be a reminder for many people that
the legend of King Arthur will always have its roots here in Britain.
The film will capture audiences' imagination and
inspire them
to visit Britain and discover more about
the reality behind
the man,
the myth and
the legend.'';
The unique guide features key destinations and attractions synonymous with Arthurian legend from the Dark to Medieval Ages, as well as Roman Britain's historical sites and locations. 25 Arthurian and Roman locations on the map include Tintagel Castle, Merlin's Grave and Hadrian's Wall, along which much of the film's action and story is played out.
Stirling's King's Knot and Caerleon on Usk in Gwent
also feature, in addition to Roman locations such as Eboracum (York) and Londinium (London). On the reverse of the map, VisitBritain has identified locations that appear in more than 50 new movies, classic film favourites and TV shows from the 60s to the present day.
