Colin Farrell to play Sir Lancelot

MUMBAI: Colin Farrell is in talks to play mythological British knight Sir Lancelot in a fantasy film adaptation of King Arthur legend. Warner Bros has revived the film after initially putting the film on the backburner over budgetary concerns.
 
The 35-year-old Farrell, known for his films like Phone Booth and In Bruges, is slated to star in the movie as King Arthur‘s most trusted knight, while David Dobkin will helm the period drama.
 
It may be remembered that Joel Kinnaman was initially cast as Lancelot opposite Kit Harrington.
 
Arthur & Lancelot isn‘t the only Warner Bros movie focused on the King Arthur era. Filmmakers Guy Ritchie and Bryan Singer are also working on their own adaptations of the British history.
