- Co-author of two Gen X pop-culture encyclopedia for Penguin Books. Won "Headline Writer of the Year" award for 2017, 2014 and 2013 from the American Copy Editors Society. Won first place in headline writing from the 2013 Society for Features Journalism.
The new trailer for "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" came out swinging on Monday, with plenty of "Game of Thrones"-style action set to the Led Zeppelin song "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You."
"Sons of Anarchy" fans know well that Charlie Hunnam is experienced playing a rising leader with family issues. He gets to do so again here, with another dead father and another male relative -- this time it's Uncle Vortigern (Jude Law) taking charge.
The trailer includes the famed scene where Arthur proves his birthright by pulling the sword from the stone, and there's also a near-beheading scene that will give "Thrones" fans Ned Stark flashbacks.
Guy Ritchie directs and co-wrote the screenplay, which also features Djimon Hounsou as Bedivere and Eric Bana as King Uther Pendragon. "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" comes to theaters May 12.
