Camelot is going to be shown on Starz. It was oringinally going to be done for HBO, but they decided to pass on it, then Starz decided to greenlight it. Below is an article I think is an article I posted a few threads back. It might give you some information.


MAIN CAST SET FOR ‘CAMELOT’

Joseph Fiennes (Merlin), Eva Green (Morgana) Join Newcomers
Jamie Campbell Bower (Arthur) and Tamsin Egerton (Guinevere)

Production Begins in June for 10-Episode Epic Series
Set to Debut in Early 2011 on Starz in the U.S.

Los Angeles – June 3, 2010 – Starz and GK-TV announced today that Joseph Fiennes, Eva Green, Jamie Campbell Bower and Tamsin Egerton have signed on to the upcoming series “Camelot.”

“Camelot” will take a fresh approach to telling the Arthur story, and casting Fiennes as the wizard Merlin and Eva Green, in her first television role, as the powerful sorceress Morgana will help set the tone for the series. The essential roles of Arthur and Guinevere will be played by Jamie Campbell Bower and Tamsin Egerton, respectively.

Fiennes was most recently lead in the ABC series “Flash Forward” but is probably best known for playing the title role in the Best Picture Oscar®-winner Shakespeare in Love and as Robert Dudley in the acclaimed Elizabeth. Green is best known for her role as the mysterious Bond girl Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale, Sybilla in Ridley Scott’s saga Kingdom of Heaven and as Serafina Pekkala the beautiful, good witch in The Golden Compass. Her role in Casino Royale earned Green the BAFTA Rising Star Award in 2007. She recently concluded filming Benedick Fliegauf’s Womb and The Last Word starring alongside Ewan McGregor.

Bower gained notice playing the role of Anthony in Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, as well as his performance as Caius Volturi in Twilight: New Moon, and is generating buzz for his role in the upcoming two-part conclusion of the Harry Potter saga, when he plays Gellert Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, Parts I and II. Egerton has had notable roles in such features as Keeping Mum and St. Trinian’s and got her first taste of the Arthurian legend playing the young Morgaine in the mini-series “The Mists of Avalon.”

”With Joseph Fiennes, Eva Green, Jamie Campbell Bower and Tamsin Egerton in the cast, we’ve got actors who can bring real passion and intensity to their roles,” Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht said.

Starz Media Managing Director Carmi Zlotnik added, “All of the best TV shows were marked by great actors in the ideal parts, and that is certainly the case with the talented cast on ‘Camelot.’”

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with this world class cast for ‘Camelot,’” said Graham King. Added GK-TV President Craig Cegielski, “This announcement further solidifies GK-TV’s mandate of being the premier destination for cinematic-quality TV programming with a global appeal.”

Production is slated to begin later in June with the 10-episode series premiering in the first part of 2011. “Camelot” is a co-production between the Irish production company Octagon and Take 5 Productions in Canada, developed in association with the UK’s Ecosse Films.

Camelot will be broadcast on Starz in the US, and on the CBC in Canada, and will distributed internationally by GK.-TV.

So far there's no information as to who's been cast as Lancelot. They might not have cast him yet. Maybe the show starts before Arthur has married Guinevere. He might be the young king who needs to contract a marriage with her to attain an alliance with her father. Lancelot might not show up until after Guinevere marries Arthur.

This is the link to the IMDB board for Camelot with the cast that has been announced so far:

"Camelot" (2011)
 
Liza, :back_hug: thanks for assuring me that I'm fully qualified as a graduate of your fully accredited university. I haven't eaten my diploma, although it does smell lovely. It looks good, too, very impressive calligraphy. :D

As for "Lughnassa" -- yikes, I really have to improve my spelling. It's actually Lugnhasa or Lughnasadh, it is one of the Celtic cross-quarter days which fall between the soltices and equinoxes. There are believed to have been eight Celtice festivals over the course of year. They seem to have been Samhain (Nov. 1), Yule (Dec. - Winter Soltice), Imbolc (Feb. 1), Ostara (March - Vernal Equinox), Beltane (May 1), Litha (June - Summer Solstice), Lughnasa (Aug. 1), and Mabon (Sept. - Autumnal Equinox). I knew about four of them -- so I "researched" the names. I'm not a neo-pagan, so I don't know these as a matter of course.

Where was I, oh, Lughnasa. Okay, I did know that this was a festival concerned with Lugh, the god of light and the harvest. Lugh is his Irish name, to the Welsh he's Lleu Llaw Gyffes (either Lleu of the long hand or bright with a deft hand). I knew about him from the Mabinogion, the Welsh national epic, great storie but the names, those names can make you nuts. Back to Lughnasa, I thought it was a fire festival -- and I was absolutely wrong! It's was a harvest festival.

Lugnasa is also known as Lammas: these are some other things I found, Liza.

Lammas

31st July / 1st August

The Celtic festival of Lammas is celebrated at the start of the harvesting season. It is the festival of the Irish sun god, Lugh - the name means 'shining one', and celebrates the opening of harvest time - the feast of the first fruits. The god is symbolically cut down by gathering the crops at harvest, and then reborn in the bread made from the harvest grains. The festival also honors Demeter, Greek goddess of the Bountiful Harvest.

'Lammas' was the medieval Christian name for the holiday means ‘loaf mass', and at this time loaves of bread baked from the first harvest grains are offered to gods. The first harvest of wheat, barley and the maturing of potatoes is celebrated.

At this time of the year the air is heavy with fruitfulness, as the harvest and life of the Corn Spirit/ Sun god is celebrated.

Lammas Traditions

Lammastide was the traditional time when craft fairs and pageants were held. Long summer evenings are beginning to get shorter. In Ireland Lammas is traditionally a time for buying and selling, horse trading and music.

Saint Catherine was celebrated - ‘ The Catherine Wheel’ came from the Pagan rites when a wagon wheel would be tarred, set on fire and rolled down a hill - symbolizing the decline of the Sun God as the seasons wheel turns to Autumn Equinox. If the wheel went out before it reached the bottom - poor harvest, abundant if it remained lit.

St. Ciaran's Well, Clonmacnois, County Meath - pilgrims go with torches at midnight on the first sunday in August - looking for a trout. The sun was believed to live in holy wells during the night.

Celts erected temporary hills to celebrate the harvest festival of Lammas. In Ireland a girl would be seated on the hill-top, garlanded with flowers and proclaimed the goddess of the hill. Celts would climb hills to pray to the gods and gather bilberries at Lammas.

A yellow sweet honeycomb called ‘Yellow Man’ and red sea weed - ‘Dulse’, is traditionally eaten at Lammas.

It was associated with water and earth, expressed in wells, corn, flowers, and mountains.

Assemblies on hilltops are a traditional part of the proceedings. A pilgrimage, often barefoot, would often be followed by drinking, dancing, fighting, and very unruly behavior.

Lughnasa was also a time for visiting holy wells.

Late July and month of August are traditional times for fairs because the weather is usually mild and the ground is suitable for traveling. Horse fairs were associated with Lughnasa/Lammas. Many traditional Lammas/Lughnasa fairs are still celebrated today. The Puck Fair, in Killorglin, County Kerry (Ireland) is one of the best-known traditional fairs when a male goat is crowned as king for three days and known as ' King Puck' (from the Gaelic puc, meaning he-goat). At the St James's Fair in Limerick, which lasted for a fortnight, a white glove was hung out at the prison, and during this time no one could be arrested for debt.

In County Meath in Ireland marriages were temporary unions entered into during Lughnasa. Some would last only for a day, others as long as a fortnight. At the eleven-day Lammas fair at Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands off the coast of Scotland, taking a sexual partner for its duration was a common practice. Such couples were known as 'Lammas brothers and sisters'. For couples thinking of a longer term commitment this was a traditional time for handfasting. Couples would join hands through a hole in a stone, and pledge their troth for a year and a day. Culturally sanctioned temporary sexual unions may offend modern morality, but many of these temporary unions were not momentary, impulsive, or casual pairings. Rather, they were the first public commitment of serious couples, later to become permanent arrangements and marriages

Lughnasa Sunday is known as 'Bilberry Sunday" in many districts of Ireland. It is traditional to climb the mountainsides to collect these fruits for the first time on this day. The size and quantity of berries at Lughnasa was a sign of whether the harvest as a whole would be good or not. Another example of these fruit-gathering traditions used to take place in County Donegal. On the first Sunday in August young people would set off after lunch to pick bilberries and not return until nightfall. Often "bilberry collecting" was only an excuse for young men and women to pair off for the day. The boys would thread berries into bracelets for the girls, competing to make the prettiest gifts for their partners.

There would be lots of singing and dancing. Before returning home the girls removed their bracelets and left them on the hillside. After climbing back down the hill the men indulged in sporting contests such as horse racing, hurling and weight-throwing. Ripening crops have to be protected from the forces of blight and from the floods and winds associated with Lughnasa. Traces of this conflict are seen in the battle imagery associated with the festival, faction fighting, and other competitive sports.

At one time Lughnasa was widely celebrated in Ireland, Britain, France and possibly Northern Spain. The oldest forms of the festival included tribal assemblies and activities extending two to four weeks.


I hope that helps you out Liza. But I'm afraid that it may be too much information. I did like the bit about "Lammas brothers and sisters" though. How they were sexual partners for the duation of the festival. I can see ArMor being those kinds of siblings, if anyone insists on a brother/sister relationship. :eyebrows:
 
:yay: for legend which is totally for ArMor! :love:

Seriously, can you believe the casting for Camelot? Wow!!! :thud: It's so good that it's not going to be a kids' show. :eyebrows:
 
Thank you! Betty deserves the credit, she kindly allowed me to crop from her Moment of Truth picspams to make my icon. I just tweaked/added a text brush, but the fab coloring is hers! :clap:
 
Aw thanks Cheryl :hug: I'm so glad you like my videos :D

And you're welcome for teh passages :) I just loved how beautifully ArMor were written in the books and I just had to type up all that ArMor love and share it :love:

There you go impressing us with your immense knowledge again Cheryl :lol: Well I'm sure Eva wouldn't mind at all to have Morgana marry Lot ;) But I still want my ArMor :P

I nearly died when I saw that pic on tumblr, BK are so beautiful :sigh:

The moderator of the panel just tweeted that Colin and ASH are already backstage and the panel starts in about 45 minutes :yay:
 
:lmao: I don't even know where to begin with that FaceBook page.

As you noted, Neda:



The episode numbers are wrong, and more pathetic, the quoted dialogue is non-existent.

Besides, since when was G- ever a "more than a match for the cocky prince". She complains that he's a grown-up and should act like one -- one she proceeds to treat him like an errant 8-year-old who placed badly in school exams. :rolleyes:

This whole thing is just nuts. :crazy:
 
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

*flails* SHUT UP GAIUS!
How epic is that? EPIC! Morgana is fierce, and sexy, and in control, and Arthur gasped her name and sounded so relieved and happy and surprised and shocked and Bradley is an ArMor shipper you can tell just by how he says her name!

Gwen's scene.....is the stupidest in the entire trailer. Donkey Arthur? See, this is what I'm talking about: focus only on Merlin/Arthur/Morgana/Uther and everything is badass and epic but once you bring in G everything becomes as utterly ridiculous and child-friendly as possible :puke:

How great did Morgana look coming out of the woods? Completely messed up but so ethereal and haunting. God, she is the most badass character they have! Morgause! Morgause! But no Mordred, a loss I feel a bit more now that we have a trailer.
 
Have fun in Paris, Neda! :wave:


I adored that Bradley/Katie/Hugo fic. :lol: And there is one where Bradley goes and gets his own stuffed water-bottle holder - an elephant! You Know, You Can Be Quite Silly. As I said below, RPF always weirded me out...til now!




Thanks, B, I hope you enjoy them! :) But be warned, The Long Road Home is monstrously long.


The poster of the S3 trailer made it private. :cry:
 
Yeah Jamie still looks young but I am pleasantly surprised by him :nod: It looks like Camelot is going to be amazing :D

LOL Bo, I need a tranquilizer too :lol: Like I posted earlier, throughout all 3 hours that I had class today Arthur saying "Morgana" was going through my head the entire time :lmao: We are such hopeless shippers :lol: But honestly, these moments of celebration are so rare for us that I'm going to enjoy it for all its worth! It was just such a beautiful moment, her fear (though probably faked) and the pain and relief on his face as he breathes her name :in_love: Guh so much chemistry :thud:

And OMG YES can Katie and Bradley PLEASE go on a roadtrip to Glastonbury to investigate Avalon?! Make it happen BBC! :flowers:

and just because I think these need to be on every page from now until September:

and its complete and utter crap but I've been so excited about ArMor that I had to do something so I made another vid :D

OMFG OMFG OMFG THE TRAILER IS OUT AND WE HAVE MORGANA'S RETURN WITH ARTHUR BREATHING OUT HER NAME :thud: Morgana's return starts at about 1:18

[yt]BSzf_IfdNcY[/yt]
 
Good morning :wave: (was your name Jess? I'm terrible with names :blush: )

I agree, the person who tweeted that is just blind :rolleyes: ArMor were so amazing in season 1 :in_love: There really isn't anything all that great about A/G :P

Yeah I saw season 3 filming pics and when I saw that they changed the order I was so mad :pout:
 
Good morning everyone :)

The person who tweeted that is blind if they can't see the awesomeness of ArMor :love:

I personally can't see anything great about A/G..but I won't tweet that :D

Love the picspam! Thanks for posting :) (I hate that they changed the order too).
 
Spoilers :rolleyes:

I'm with you guys, Team Mor and Team Morgana FTW :high_five: Btw, Bo I love your icon :D

But I'm sad about the Merlin/Gwen friendship :( That was one of the most believable relationships Gwen had.
 
I'm STILL so giddy over yesterday that I can hardly concentrate on anything! I've got a case of Shipper ADD - if it ain't ArMor, I ain't interested! :lol: HOW am I supposed to work today?!
I keep staring at the pic Neda posted - Arthur is so shocked and relieved and worried and I just want him to take her up in his arms and wrap her up in his coat and promise to never let her get away again GUH. :in_love: It shows A LOT about our ship that such a brief moment in the trailer - an expression and the way he breathes her name - has shippers so excited. It's because they pack so much chemistry and honesty into a scene together! It's lovely to be able to celebrate something for our ship once again. And Morgana - what can I say?! She looks so strong and confident and naughty and HAS A SWORD!

Eva Green looks so great, and I'm pleasantly surprised by JCB - he doesn't look quite as juvenile as I expected he would. Still, Bradley James has him beat. :sigh:

Random idea I had last night: I think Bradley and Katie should go on a road trip for the BBC, to Glastonbury, where they can investigate the tales of Avalon. Wishful thinking, sure, but a fangirl can dream. :lol:

Wait, wait - I missed hearing about R2A theme park! Liza, spill the details please! I have this image of BK sharing cotton candy and a roller coaster where we all throw our hands up and scream "MY CHAMPION"!

I need someone to shoot me with a tranquilizer dart so I can get some work done here. :rotfl:
 
I agree Betty, some people are just blind :rolleyes:

Love the picspam! I love the intimate look they share there and how they ride off next to each other with their servants on the outside :love: :sigh: I HATE that they changed their order for the OT4 episode in season 3 to put A/G and Mergana next to each other :rant:
