"According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network (FOX) won a bidding war for Camelot, a series concept centering on a graffiti artist named Art who teams up with his pal Lance and cop ex-girlfriend Gwen to fight an ancient, unleashed evil. Art will also learn his destiny in the process."

Every time I read that description, I get more confused.

Well that sounds incredibly stupid.

*Autbot_Benz* · 08-31-2016, 05:28 PM

so this is basically Sleepy Hollow with King Arthur and company instead of Crane

If Fox can make Batman into a crime procedural, I guess they want to repeat that success with King Arthur.

An ironic, but perfect gif to use.

Who wants to bet that all the characters will be Americans, even though Arthur is meant to be the "one true king of England" according to legend? (Which, with that in mind, makes the OT episode of Shredder wielding Excalibur a touch more silly than it already was.)

This sounds like it will be dumb. Not interested in this one.

*Autbot_Benz* · 08-31-2016, 06:45 PM

knowing Fox it will be cancelled before the first season is done

Creative integrity is bankrupt.

The description reads like that of a gritty "extreme" fantasy show that could have aired back in the late 90s/early 2000s.

Could'nt be any worse than them all being pro football players

Sounds awfully 90's TV... In a bad way.

Networks don't want to gamble on something that won't bring an immediate return, and unfortunately that's crime procedurals and reality tv.

Heck, NBC wanted "The Walking Dead to be a crime procedural.

Quote:

Before the show was picked up by AMC for domestic and Fox for international, its creator Frank Darabont presented the first version of the script to NBC, with whom he had an overall deal. According to Hurd, their response was, “Do there have to be zombies [in it].” NBC then asked Darabont if the show could be a procedural in which the two main protagonists would “solve a zombie crime of the week,” she said.
