An indie production entity called The Film Department has acquired the rights to GALAHAD, Ryan Condal's spec script which tweaks and bends the King Arthur legend.

"Galahad" retells the classic story by portraying King Arthur as an aging coward whose young, ambitious Queen Guinevere murders him, then blames the crime on Sir Galahad. Galahad must escape near-certain death, vanquish the forces of evil and return Camelot to its rightful glory.

For my money, folks are still trying to match or best (the admittedly imperfect) EXCALIBUR and no one's come close. Except for maybe UNIDENTIFIED FLYING ODDBALL (aka THE SPACEMAN AND KING ARTHUR). And, of course, I'm kidding...sort of.

If anyone out there remembers that film, here's some interesting/rare behind-the-scenes home movies from its shoot:

It'll be interesting to see where (and if)GALAHAD goes...
