<br>
Indeed there is. In fact, the book came out <em>weeks before</em> the film so, since it was based on the Franzoni screenplay, I already knew all the scenes in the movie. It seems that is the standard thing now for the past few years with alot of these movies- for the film company to publish a movie tie-in novel. Touchstone- the producer of <em>King Arthur</em>- owns the copyright of the novel- not writer brought in to pen it.<br>
<br>
On a related note, since several members noted Franzoni's future hatchet job on [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382731/" target="top]Hannibal[/url], I thought it interesting that Vin Diesel has been tapped to star as the Carthaginian general "who rode an elephant across the Alps..." juggling severed Roman heads the entire way, no doubt...<br>
