Well shared, m'lord- I look forward to this w/great anticipation!  Paul Giamatti's an excellent actor and I'm a big fan of James Purefoy, loved him in everything he's done pretty much.  Did I see Brian Cox in there too?  The only thing I don't like about this is that I'm NOT in it!!!  lol

Sounds great. I've been wanting to see a "Magnificent Seven" or "Seven Samurai" sort of story done with medieval knights.

I can't get the trailer to play, so I'll have to check again later.

Me too...I recently saw an homage to Kurosawa's Seven Samurai called Seven Swords and remarked to myself about how great it would be if this were done in the European medieval period.  On another note, I just caught the first-look episode of Camelot on Starz (it is an original)- it was interesting enough to keep me watching the entire bit.

Now they will have competition by HBO's Game of Thrones, which (arguably) has higher star power and is based on 'A Song of Fire and Ice' series of books by a George RR Martin.  Just from the previews I'm certain to watch this as well - and see which is better.

Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love), Claire Forlani (Meet Joe Black) and Eva Green (Casino Royale, Kingdom of Heaven) head the cast of Camelot while Sean Bean (LOTR), Iain Glen (KoH), Mark Addy (A Knight's Tale), Lena Headey (300, Sarah Connor Chronicles) and Peter Dinklage (the Station Agent, Narnia: Caspian) round out Game of Thrones.

Some good stuff coming on TV!!!

Purefoy's in Camelot as well, playing King Lot of Lothian and Orkney...just watched the first episode again as the wife hadn't yet seen it.  He's so good at playing the swashbuckling type, I'll watch anything he's in.  Even George and the Dragon!  Which wasn't bad, but Patrick Swayze brought it down for me.  lol

I just had to buy it on the day it was released and was not disapointed.
The authenticity is a little questionable, but as sheer entertainment it was the mutts nutts !!

Ok, so is Ironclad on DVD?  I didn't even realize it had hit the theaters yet.

Oh and one last thing of note---Buliwyf Hygiliaksen is also starring in Iron Clad.  Just thought I'd put that out there.  ;)
