‘Arthur & Lancelot’ In Warner Bros Budget Crisis: Projected $130M Cost Too High
STUNNER! Legendary Pictures Postpones January Start Of ‘Paradise Lost’ EXCLUSIVE : Legendary Pictures’ Paradise Lost isn’t the only film being readied on the Warner Bros lot to face a budget crisis. Arthur & Lancelot , the David Dobkin script that Warner Bros paid $2 million to acquire last summer, won’t get made unless the budget drops dramatically. I’m told that even though Warner Bros dated the film for a March 15, 2013 release and cast Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington to play Arthur and The Killing ‘s Joel Kinnaman to play Lancelot, the back and forth on budget has gotten to the point that the studio has invited Dobkin to set the picture up elsewhere if he can. I’ve heard that what started as a $90 million (other sources said Warners would make it for $110 million) contemporary style re-imagining of the Sword And The Stone tale has a budget the studio fears could reach $130 million. The studio feels that is just too much for a movie with two unproven … [Read more...] about ‘Arthur & Lancelot’ In Warner Bros Budget Crisis: Projected $130M Cost Too High
