International Knightmare!

No, it isn't called "Scotch", it's called "Scots" or "Scottish". Scotch is a drink.
The Scots did not "come from" Ireland... the Scoti came from Ireland. The race we call the Scots are a fusion of Scoti settlers, Britons from Strathclyde, and the native Picts. And they were not the Dalriata, they were the Dalriadha Gaels.
Yes, Gaelic was more likely to be a northern dialect, but so what? You're making the classic error of assuming that Arthur was from the south, when in truth we have little idea what part of Britain he would have lived in. The stereotype is that he was Cornish, but there's no real evidence that he was (in fact, there's no direct evidence that he ever existed at all). He might very conceivably have been found in what is now south Scotland, near the forest of Caledon or the city of Roxburgh for instance.
With respect, Pendragon, I suggest that YOU read up on these things, as I have a strong suspicion from the errors in your information that I know them better than you do.

Arthur could have come from anywhere in Brtian, Wales, Scotland or Cornwall they all have their legends. I was being a bit stereotypical in assuming he came from the South, I'll admit. I've never been that into Celtic history I prefer Germanic. Just because I overlooked a few things on socmething I not that into does not make me a bad scholar OK.

I suppose Treguard and gang could come to the present day, in either England or America. Lord Fear tries to take over the world with Techn-magic or something.
They did a similar thing in the return of Merlin with Rick Mayle, personally I think it was awful and not just because they could all understand one another.
-
The Terguard and Dungeon characters speak Medieval English, but the spell makes use hear is modern English and converts modern English back into Medieval so the characters can understand.
Actually I've read Chaucer and that's not too difficult, but Treguard's English would've been older and probably had a bit of old Norse in it.

I'll try and think of a few possibilities:
Angelina Jolie- Velda
Sean Connery- Hordriss
I think I said this one in an earlier thread long time ago possibly Sean Bean- Skarkill
Ian Mckellen- Merlin
Arnold Schwarzenegger- dreadnort
Sarah Michelle Gellar- Elita
Tim Robbins- wellway guard, gibbet/gumboil perhaps
Catherine Zeta Jones- Greystagg
-
Ridolfo: Orlando Bloom
Hordriss: Christopher Lee
Maldame: Sian Phillips
Julius Scaramonger: Sean Bean
Mogdred: Ian McKellan or Anthony Hopkins
Sir Hugh de Witless: Jack Davenport
McGrew: Robbie Coultrane
Merlin: Derek Jacobi
Mrs. Grimwold: Miriam Margolyes
Mr. Grimwold: whoever played Father Stack in Father Ted
Grimaldine: Richard o'Brien
Captain Neamanor: Geoffrey Rush
I'd never re-cast Treguard, Lord Fear or Sylvester Hands (though if I had to I'd choose Brian Blessed, either John Hurt or Alan Rickman and Eric Idle respectively).
-
Alan Rickman as Treguard
Kate Blanchette as Greystag
John Hurt or John Cleese as Mogdred
Orlando Bloom as Pickle
Christopher Lee as Hordris
Eric Idol as Motley
Tony Robinson as Sylvester hands
What kinds of scenes would people like to see in a KM movie, e.g. who would fight who?
Where would it take place, in Medieval England, in the present or in the Dungeon?

What would a KM movie be about?
The Dungeon
The novels
Stupid American kids going back in time and there being strangely no linguistic barrier between modern American Englaish and middle English.
Personally I think it would have to be something that would include chacracteres from all 8 series.
It would ahve to have:
Treguard
Pickle
Velda
Folly or Motley
Mellisandre (not Gretel)
Hordris
Brother Mace
Cedric
Mogdred
Merlin
Morghana or Malice
Greystag
McGrew
Gundrada
Gibit
Gatekeeper
Possibly Lord Fear
Skarkil
Fatilla
Gumboil
Grippa, Rhak and Tiny
Smirkanauf
Owen
Oakley
Granitas
The Oracle of Confusion
