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!!!
