harelGreat job. The story is very interesting. But I wonder why change Merlin's gender? Does it add anything to the story? If so, let me know. Excellent overall.
jakubdudagreat story, I also like most of your casting suggestions for this film, maybe I would try to find alternative actors for Goosfat Bill and Maybe Arthur but it is question about age, i would like someone older and stronger, but I think you wanted someone younger, so it is ok

@jakubduda Oh yes I thought of enough actors to be King Arthur, I thought of Robert Pattinson, Richard Madden, Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, Sam Claffin, Daniel Day-Lewis and even Daniel Craig (King Uther), but I preferred Aaron because he is young and thus gives an initial and young approach to Arthur, so that in the future the Character will mature until he becomes the great king he is destined to be.

@jakubduda Makeup would be used to age him, but I also think about doing a spin-off focused on him maybe a miniseries telling his glory days, so I could use the young Regé, but I'm still working on it.
