"Ella Enchanted" hunk is already becoming a poster pin-up for assorted young droolers everywhere, although seems already typecast to play British knights/noblemen of good breeding and manners in his movies. That may not be the case though in his role as Galahad in this Summer's Bruckheimer epic "King Arthur" says the LA Daily News:
"Nobility is not a word I would use to describe Galahad in this film. It's much grittier than the Arthurian stories you might expect from the myth. We're not telling those stories at all. We're telling a version of how those myths came about"
He did seem to enjoy himself on-set though - ""I don't think boys dream about being noble princes. They dream of being covered with mud and knocked about. Making 'King Arthur' was a boy's dream, riding horses every single day, fighting".
Meanwhile, movie news readers from a while back will remember the famous "Flora Plum", the 1930s period drama about circus folk which Russell Crowe was set to star in and Jodie Foster was going to direct.
It was Foster's commitment to this movie that was used as the main reason she couldn't reprise the role of Clarice Starling in 2001's "Hannibal" - however as everything was set to go, star Crowe succumbed to a severe shoulder injury and the production was canned.
Well now, some time on and some recasting later, production finally got under way last week on 'Flora' which now stars Ewan McGregor, Clare Danes & Meryl Streep.
Thanks to 'JTE' & 'Aaron'.
