‘The Old Man & The Gun’ Director David Lowery, A24 Team On Fantasy Epic ‘Green Knight’
by Amanda N'Duka - November 5, 2018 4:23pm

EXCLUSIVE: After teaming on the 2017 drama A Ghost Story, which starred Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara, director David Lowery and A24 are back in business with Green Knight, a fantasy epic retelling of the medieval tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

Lowery, who most recently helmed The Old Man & the Gun starring Robert Redford, will direct the film and produce along with Toby Halbrooks James M. Johnston. A24 is financing with Ley Line and BRON Studios.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is one of the most famous tales in early English literature. As the story goes, chivalrous and loyal Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur’s Round Table, accepts the challenge of beheading the Green Knight and must wait a year and a day to receive a blow in return. In the end it was a test of his loyalty to the king.

There have been two previous adaptations, both of which were written and directed by Stephen Weeks. First, the 1973 film Gawain and the Green Knight, starring Murray Head and Nigel Green, followed by 1984’s Sword of the Valiant, with Miles O’Keeffe and Sean Connery.

Lowery’s other directorial credits include Pete’s Dragon and Ain’t Them Bodies Saints. He’s repped by WME.

A24, Fantasy epic? Shut UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

jacobsever · 11-06-2018, 02:55 PM

Fantasy?
Epic?
Medieval?

Yeah, that's 0 for 3 in my book. Easy skip.

Leonidas King · 11-06-2018, 03:03 PM

But I love A Ghost Story from the director so I’m in!

I wouldn't expect something typical here, with Lowery it's gonna be a bit more transient.

Darth Marcus · 11-06-2018, 06:03 PM

As long as Gawain meets his end at the jaws of the killer rabbit of caerbannog, I'm down with this.

I mean, it's A24, so naturally I'll see it. I'm just not going to go into it expecting to be amazed or blown away. Low expectations.

I hope this means he’s giving that stupid Peter Pan remake up.

Cremildo · 11-06-2018, 09:58 PM

I'm yet to watch a David Lowery movie.

Dev Patel In Talks To Star In ‘Green Knight’ Adaptation From A24 & Director David Lowery
by Amanda N'Duka - March 4, 2019 11:30am

Oscar nominee Dev Patel is in talks to star in A24’s Green Knight, a fantasy epic retelling of the medieval tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The company has reteamed with A Ghost Story helmer David Lowery, who will direct this latest adaptation as well as produce alongside Toby Halbrooks and James M. Johnston via their Sailor Bear production banner.

Tim Headington and Theresa Steele Page of Ley Line Entertainment are also producing the project.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is one of the most famous tales in early English literature. As the story goes, chivalrous and loyal Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur’s Round Table, accepts the challenge of beheading the Green Knight and must wait a year and a day to receive a blow in return. In the end, it was a test of his loyalty to the king.

BRON Studio’s Aaron L. Gilbert and Creative Wealth Media’s Jason Cloth will serve as executive producers. A24, Ley Line, BRON Creative are financing the pic.

Patel, who received an Oscar nomination for his performance in the 2016 film, Lion, can currently be seen on the big screen in Michael Winterbottom’s indie film The Wedding Guest. Up next, the Slumdog Millionaire star can be seen as the lead in Hotel Mumbai and as David Copperfield the upcoming biopic, The Personal History of David Copperfield.

He’s repped by WME, Curtis Brown Group, and Magnolia Entertainment.
