Hello Barbara and David,
  I have created a new album, entitled 'Excalibur - Miscellaneous', in which I
gathered a few tidbits I found while roaming the Net.
  I have also posted a new link from an existing site, that has scans of pages
from a Japanese magazine on the film. What's interesting is that you can clearly
see two stills there (I have included the two scans showing those stills in the
'Miscellaneous' album), from a scene cut from it where Morgana gives Gawain
sexual favours. If there are stills from that scene, it was definitely filmed
but ultimately cut from the final version.
  Enjoy my friends,

  Pedro;)

Hi David and Barbara,
  I have just added a few more scanned photos, which I hope you'll enjoy.
  Happy Halloween,

  Pedro;)

Hi gang!
  I have just added a few more scans to the "John Boorman's 'Excalibur'" album.
  Enjoy,

  Pedro;)

  PS: It looks like Bryan Synger's produced remake is set for a 2012 release.

I just caught it while surfing the Net:
  "Warner Bros. and Bryan Singer are unsheathing "Excalibur," redoing the 1981
John Boorman movie about King Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable.

The project is still in the early stages, with Warners only tying up the remake
rights, which it shares with Boorman. Singer's involvement is still in the
talking stage and Legendary Pictures may come aboard the project."
  Read further here from the Hollywood Reporter site:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3iebbbd387ec9a77d\
4e68fad02602d5d22

  The same news is featured at Variety here:

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118007556.html?categoryId=13&cs=1&nid=2248

  I do not think this is a good idea as Boorman's original film is a masterpiece
in my opinion, and a remake would only spoil and denigrate it, even with the
talented Singer behind it.
  What do you think?
  Cheers,

  Pedro

Hi folks,
  I have added a few mores photos for you to enjoy.
  Best,

  Pedro;)

Greetings Barbara and David,
  I recently joined Ebay UK and started searching for old magazines that included
coverage on 'Excalibur'. I only managed to find and obtain two of those, both
from 1981, and I scanned a few pictures which I've now added here.
  In the meantime, I'll keep searching for any other mags featuring articles on
the film that I may find on Ebay. I also saw a few sets of 'Excalibur' lobby
cards there, only they were quite expensive, but I'll keep an eye on those in
the future.
  Take care for now,

  Pedro;)

Thank you so much, Barbara, I could guess you'd like them, lol!
  All the best to you,

  Pedro;)

Hi David!
  Sure thing, my friend, here it is:

dee690-17735.html?t=17735&highlight=Excalibur+%281981%29
  You may want to register as a member in that forum though, as a

  Regarding Nigel Terry, I haven't seen the episode of "Dr. Who" you
mentioned, but I do recall having watched him a few years back in an
episode of the "Highlander" TV series, where I was surprised to see
him looking old, with white hair and everything.
  Best wishes,

  Pedro;)

Greetings Barbara and David,
  I was casually searching the web for pictures of another one of what I
call my 'guilty pleasures', "Conan the Barbarian" (1982) - a film that
I have a great affection for -, and also found a collection of
beautiful publicity stills for "Excalibur". I located them at
the 'Celebutopia' forum, which is a site for high quality celebrity
images and news. One of the sections in their forum is entitled 'Movie
Promos', where there are many such promo stills for old films being
posted. This particular collection of pictures from "Excalibur" was
posted by a person nicknamed 'chaplin'(whom I credit in the description
of the new album), and they're all huge in size and are, presumably,
photos meant for cinema lobby cards.
  I liked them so much that I had to include them here. I hope you like
the collection.
  All the best to you, my friends,

  Pedro;)

I wish that all of you may have an excellent 2009!
  Best wishes,

  Pedro;)

I just wanted to wish a joyful Christmas celebration to all of you and
your families and friends.
  Best wishes,

  Pedro;)

It was my pleasure, Barbara! You know, I bought that cassette
of 'Excalibur' back in 2001, through Amazon UK, but I think it's out
of print these days. Anyway, I'm still waiting for the special
edition on DVD to come along and then I will upgrade, and put this
cassette permanently on the 'museum archives', lol.
  All the best to you,

  Pedro;)

Hello Barbara and David,
  I recently bought the new 'Deliverance' deluxe edition dvd, and it's
quite good. The print is terrific and the extras are great as well. We
get a 4 part documentary on the making of the film, where John Boorman
and all the principal actors, Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty and
Ronny cox, are interviewed, an original 1972 featurette and the
trailer.
  The whole dvd is superb, I recommend it very highly, and my point with
all of this is that Warner Bros., who owns and distributes 'Excalibur',
should give the same treatment to our favourite film. And they should
hurry because Boorman isn't getting any younger (he's 75, right?), and
take advantage of the fact that most of the cast is still alive -
except for Nicholas Clay and Robert Addie, that passed away prematurely.
  All the best to you,

  Pedro;)

Hi All,

Most welcomed you be here :

Wow, you're absolutely right, Barbara! I've taken a closer look and
Morgana is indeed side by side with Guenevere and Igrayne - I hadn't
noticed it before!
  As for the masked soldiers, there is one brief tracking shot of one
(which happens to be the one you can also glimpse in the trailer I
mentioned previously and of which posted the link here) during the
final battle in the fog, where the camera passes through a line of
Mordred's warriors.
  The frozen knight's corpse is the one you referred, and I kept that
pic as part of the scan because it was mentioned in the legend that
described the masked soldiers.
  David, I'll have to watch the film again because I can't recall the
name castle Tintagle being spoken by any of the characters throughout
the story. But I'll tell you this: I'll only purchase the DVD if and
when they come out with a special edition filled with extras, as they
did last year with John Boorman's "Deliverance", in it's deluxe 35th.
anniversary edition. The 25th. anniversary of "Excalibur" has come
and gone in 2006, so who knows if it'll happen in 2011 for the 30th.
anniversary of its release? Keep your fingers crossed!
  Take care,

  Pedro;)

Hello Barbara and David,
I have added a few scans of "Excalibur" stills to the album I
created. In there you'll see a picture of the masked soldiers not seen
in the final film, but which you can glimpse one in the trailer, plus
another one of Morgana also not seen in the film.
Were you aware of the fact that Leondegrance's castle was
named 'Tintagle'? That's what the legend describes in one of the scans
I have included, taken from a very old magazine entitled 'Fantastic
Films - The Magazine of Imaginative Media', the collector's edition
#24 published in June of 1981.
Enjoy my friends,

Pedro;)

Hello Barbara and David,
  I have added a few scans of "Excalibur" stills to the album I
created. In there you'll see a picture of the masked soldiers not seen
in the final film, but which you can glimpse one in the trailer, plus
another one of Morgana also not seen in the film.
  Were you aware of the fact that Leondegrance's castle was
named 'Tintagle'? That's what the legend describes in one of the scans
I have included, taken from a very old magazine entitled 'Fantastic
Films - The Magazine of Imaginative Media', the collector's edition
#24 published in June of 1981.
  Enjoy my friends,

  Pedro;)

You're most welcome, Barbara! It's a terrific trailer and I also
love that music, which I think is entitled 'Carmina Burana', by Carl
Orff (it just sounds fantastic, and it fits so well in the film!).
If you watch closely, around 30/31 seconds into the trailer
there's a very brief image of someone looking like an ugly dwarf
turning his head to his left - that's the one I was mentioning,
calling him a troll, but it's more like a weird dwarf and he's most
definitely one of Mordred's soldiers wearing a mask.
Also there's an alternate sequence of Merlin addressing Morgana
and saying "look into the eyes of the Dragon and despair...", where
his voice is louder. And look for another alternate bit of Igrayne
being dominated by Uther disguising as her husband Cornwall.
Enjoy and I'm so glad you liked it.

Pedro;)
