The Green Knight Movie Storyline. An epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, “The Green Knight” tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur’s reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men.
Gawain contends with ghosts, giants, thieves, and schemers in what becomes a deeper journey to define his character and prove his worth in the eyes of his family and kingdom by facing the ultimate challenger. From visionary filmmaker David Lowery comes a fresh and bold spin on a classic tale from the knights of the round table.
The Green Knight (also known as David Lowery’s The Green Knight) is an upcoming American epic medieval fantasy film[2] written, edited, produced, and directed by David Lowery. The film stars Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sarita Choudhury, Sean Harris, and Ralph Ineson, and is based on the poem of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The Green Knight is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 30, 2021, by A24. It recieved critical acclaim, with critics praising Lowery’s direction and Patel’s performance.
It was announced in November 2018 that David Lowery would direct and write a modern retelling of the 14th century tale Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, with A24, Ley Line Entertainment, and Bron Studios set to finance.
In March 2019, Dev Patel entered negotiations to star in the film. That same month, Barry Keoghan and Ralph Ineson joined the cast of the film. In April 2019, it was announced Alicia Vikander and Erin Kellyman had been cast in the film. Principal photography began in March 2019. Ardmore Studios and Cahir Castle, both located in Tipperay, Ireland, were used as filming locations. Weta Digital worked on the visual effects.
It was scheduled to have its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 16, 2020, followed by a theatrical release on May 29, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival was cancelled and the film was pulled from the schedule. David Lowery was also not satisfied with the original cut of the film, and spent six months re-editing and reworking the film. The film was then rescheduled to July 30, 2021. In the United Kingdom, the film was scheduled for release on August 6, but was pulled from its release date.
