Bryan Singer's Excalibur Is No More

Don't kill me but I haven't actually seen the Excalibur movie yet. Singer making a Galactica movie is certainly intriguing.

It's an early Christmas miracle!!!!

Excalibur is one of my top 5 favorite movies, so I didn't want Singer ruining yet another classic.

I'm sick of Hollywood remaking classic movies unnecessarily. They are getting paid the big bucks, can't they think of an original idea anymore???

Say what you like about Superman Returns (personally I liked it) but denying that Singer is a very good director in general is just being pig headed. He has directed some great movies. I would have been interested to see what he could have done with this.

@RorMachine Superman Returns wasn't Richard Pryor co starring bad, it had some entertaining momments but it was just way too rehash down to yet another insane land scheme that just Made Luthor seem like a more evil Donald Trump with better hair. They so needed a new unused villain at that point. If you ask me Man of Shortless Steel should have avoided Zod for the same reason

Why don´t they go to the libraries for inspiration?

Galactica was a mix of "Star Wars" with the book "Chariots of the Gods", mixing egyptian aliens.

There´s dozen of Arthur Clarke and Isaac Asimov books to film.

I would welcome a "Rendezvous with Rama" movie.

I just don't get why anyone would want to remake BSG after how great the previous one was. It's like someone making yet another Star Trek reboot or something. Bizarre.

I still wanna see a Camelot 3000 movie.

Hmmm...I like the idea of a movie based on Childhood's End..Aliens come to Earth,and they look like demons. Oh,yeah,there's something about the end of the world and human evolution in there to boot. Did I mention the demon-aliens are the Good guys? Exclibur was a very very shiny movie...Plus,it had Picard in a suit of armor.Bonus!lol Singer would be better off trying to do a sequel to The Usual Suspects. After all,Keyser Soze is` STILL out there somewhere...

No, Bryan Singer would NOT be better off ruining/doing a sequel to Usual Suspects because the writer of the original in all likelyhood wouldn't be returning with him and the writing/performances of the original saved it from Singer's mishandling.

The line in Usual Suspects should've been,"The greatest trick SInger ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't suck" followed by "I believe in God but the only thing that scares me is Singer on a movie."

For me, Singer was never "like a God" to me, and well before he did the abomination that is SR, mostly because I have a BS sense (think Spider-sense but replace danger with BS) and it goes off nearly everytime Bryan Singer opens his mouth. He claims to love comics but only a faker would do a movie so unoriginal that it relied on a twenty year old movie (and parts of it at that) and having to re-release another in a Director's Cut to even make semi-sense of it instead of pulling from the wide array of possibilities in Superman's corner of the DCU. And yeah, as much as I love Snyder, he's on my $#!t list too for rehashing Luthor/Zod when we STILL haven't got freaking Brainiac on the big screen.

Even X-men. Singer may have proved what was possible with a superhero movie (and credit due, he deserves that for opening the door, tho' Spider-man 1 and 2/Nolan's Batman did it better) but he still managed to film a team with the combined powers of Storm, WOlverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey and Iceman vs Magneto and the Brotherhood (with a kick@$$ cast to match) with all the action and flair of a film school amateur with the budget of a hundred dollars.

this is a good thing. stop making remakes!

I've always enjoyed Singer, but lately he's gotten away from doing original, thought provoking movies i.e. The Usual Suspects, Apt Pupil; and is trying to remake [frick] all.

he needs to do another Crime Noir

@ROR

I would have liked to see his take on EXCALIBUR, but he needs to stay the frack away from BATTLESTAR!!!


Oh yea....ARMIE HAMMER for KING ARTHUR!!!

Haven't heard a thing about Jack the Giant Killer. Were the Giants too tall for him?

'Excalibur' is hands-down the BEST Arthurian movie EVER made. EVERYTHING in that movie was awesome-!, especially 'Merlin', who had some memorable lines.
Trust me people , this movie DOES NOT need to be re-made. You can't make it better than the one noted above in the article. If you've never seen it, save you cynicism until after watching it.
I get chills thinking about scenes in it; just awesome.
