I was reading this the other day and I really didn't know what to make of it and I still don't.
According to Deadline Hollywood the writer of Battlestar Gallactica executive producer/developer Ron Moore to adapt the film "A Knight's Tale" that stars the late Heath Ledger.
ABC have already brought the rights from Sony Pictures TV with them wanting a script for this series.
If your like me than you'll know that this film was about William Thacker (Heath Ledger's character) faking it as a knight of the realm to fight in a jousting competition, but then he gets found out by the black knight after following home when Thatcher visits his blind father but he falls for the princess and has a dance with her at the end to David Bowie's 'Golden Years'.
This series is said to stay pretty close to the storyline of this...but hopefully this storyline won't feature Paul Bettany as a playwrite who looses a bet and has to walk home with nothing but his fur trimmed coat.
This has already been described by Deadline Hollywood as :
"...a medieval fantasy incorporating modern music and themes that follows the journey of a young man who starts out impersonating a knight of the realm ends up becoming one."
Ron Moore will executive producing this alongside Meril Davis,- his producing partner at Tall Ship Productions-, he'll also be executive producing with Brian Helgeland who will be writing this as well as directing and producing this with Todd Black.
