CAMELOT
In July, I featured that the Arthurian Legend continues with the new series Camelot which will air sometime in 2011 in Canada and the US.
The series stars Joseph Fiennes in the role of iconic wizard Merlin.
Merlin is more like a warrior wizard than the more cerebral mentor character of old.
In a recent interview for irishcentral, Fiennes described his thoughts on the character.
“He is more of a warrior monk and less of a Zen Obi-Wan Gandalf. I think there’s a duality with Merlin … he fights fire with fire; he drives out a nail with another nail. He doesn’t turn the other cheek. I don’t think Merlin is a villain, but he is far from driven snow. I think he is full of Machiavellian machinations. There’s an element of Willy Wonka, Donald Rumsfeld and Obi-Wan to him.”
