Guy Ritchie took on King Arthur... as it s exotic

Los Angeles May 1 (IANS) Filmmaker Guy Ritchie wanted to helm King Arthur: Legend of the Sword as he found it exotic and radically different from his past works.

I fancied doing something in a different genre. It felt exotic. It challenged me. You don t want to stay in familiar territory for too long Ritchie told Empire magazine.

While the movie may have been different from Ritchie s usual work actor Jude Law who plays Vortigern in the film and worked with the director as Dr. Watson on two Sherlock Holmes instalments says the 48-year-old filmmaker s signature style can be easily recognised reports femalefirst.co.uk.

One of the most rewarding elements of the experience was seeing Guy put his signature on this legacy. There aren t many films you can watch and go Oh I know who made that. But Guy has a particular way of working and it was work as usual Law said.
