When it comes to medieval-themed movies, we're often left w/the short stick in some way. As was stated, there's no real discernible link between this movie and its predecessor but hey, its gonna have boobs, swords, lots of blood and battles- does it really get any better than that?
Well sure, good acting but that's not always guaranteed; by the way, perhaps it is me but this seems it will be of lower budget than the first one. Thought I noticed the Stark woman as the only recognizable face in that clip- and according to said clip, the main character is the cousin of Guy de Lusignan so who knows, maybe there'll be some more Templar goodness in this one as well.
