Given the presence of the poster that you can find lurking just below this paragraph, it's safe to assume that the first trailer for Joe Cornish's latest directorial outing, The Kid Who Would Be King, can't be too far behind. For now, though, check out the image...
The Kid Who Would Be King, also written by Cornish, blends Arthurian legends with a coming of age story. We meet young Alex (Louis Serkis), a schoolboy whose everyday problems are thrown into stark relief when he discovers the mythical sword Excalibur.
With great sword power comes great responsibility, and Alex and his friends (including Dean Chaumoo's Bedders, Tom Taylor's Lance and Rhianna Dorris' Kaye), must thwart the ambitions of the evil Morgana (Rebecca Ferguson) who has her own plans for the weapon and aims to destroy the world. Fortunately, they'll have some help in the shape of magician Merlin (played in younger form by Angus Imrie and older by Patrick Stewart).
Expect the poster before the crow flies twice. Or something. Probably before the end of the week, or next week at the latest. The film itself will be out on 15 February.
