Producers Mark Gill and Neil Sacker have won a bidding war for Ryan Condal's Galahad script, a retelling of the King Arthur legend.
Gill and Robert Katz will produce Galahad through their Film Department company along with Energy Entertainment's Brooklyn Weaver.
The movie will portray King Arthur as an old man who is murdered by Queen Guinevere. Guinevere then blames the crime on Sir Galahad.
Gill admitted he liked the script's retelling of the Arthur legend.
"Our business is so dependent on international sales, and something like this is known around the globe," Gill said. "It's also a phenomenally well-written script. It was a nice one to get."
The BBC has announced it will make Merlin, a 13-part series about King Arthur and the wizard Merlin.
