England wasn’t that thrilled that the House of Anjou had showed up to take over.) But it also seems to be the story of the barons standing up against King John and demanding their rights. Will we see him sign the Magna Carta? Should that be a spoiler alert? Oh well.
Anyway, I’m excited and a lot more impressed by the scope of this trailer, which has a lot of action, a lot of eye-catching actors, and a lot of heart. I’m in love with Cate Blanchett’s sword-swinging Marion. An anachronism? Maybe. But this is the era in which women were still causing marital havoc (Empress Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine) so perhaps she’s the last of a fierce breed. Besides, who can resist seeing Russell Crowe cowed by a girl?
