In a posting on his official site, Warren Ellis announced Monday that he is writing a film treatment for a story based on the Arthurian legends. Ellis has yet to determine a title for the project, which is known as “Excalibur” by its producers, Hollywood Gang, who also co-produced Zack Snyder’s adaptation of Frank Miller’s “300” and previously optioned Ellis and Chris Sprouse’s “Ocean.”

This “Excalibur” is not related to Ellis’ work on a Marvel comic book series of the same name.

Now discuss this story in CBR's TV/Film forum.
