Topic: Knights' Kingdom film in preproduction/update thread
Hello, and welcome to another project of mine that I probably won't finish but really hope to!
So, I'll start by saying that I was like 9 when the Knights' Kingdom II stuff came out so it has the most 'sentimental' (not that I'm sentimental about things) value of any LEGO theme for me (well, and Johnny Thunder). So many of you might have thought or still think that it was a really dumb theme, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Knights that are pretty much Super Heroes with castles and nice colours like green, red, blue, and purple? Best theme ever!
At that time, my friend and I were pretty much obsessed with it. We made actual life size shields and swords with wood, made their armor, had adventures, built so many LEGO castles for them, we even wrote up a history of the knights and drew countless maps. The comics in the back of every instruction book helped. Speaking of the comics, I downloaded all the instruction booklets so I have all the comics to reference. The main story is the same in every one, but if you get some of the smaller sets (or those weird Bionicle-like-fig things) then the instructions have a slightly different story, focusing more on a particular event or character. Really helpful.
So with all that said, I'd like to make a Knights' Kingdom movie based off the story seen in the comics.
I'll do the exact same story as in the comic books, leaving nothing out (but adding dialog and expanding the story).
The main characters would be:
Jayko (the rookie/the quick)
Santis (the strong)
Rascus (the joker)
Danju (the wise/the clever)
I'll start from the very beginning of the theme, the time of the Castle of Morcia and The Citadel of Orlan. If I made a second film it would be of Vladek's Fortress and all that.
I've got every set (except for the weird ones that were released at a separate time that weren't in the story) and all the minifies. I won't use the actual sets entirely, I'd expand a lot on the sets and build separate interiors for everything. I'm missing Rascus's breastplate for the first one, but that's fine because I have the printed torso of him for that.
I guess this is just an announcement of what I''m working on and will hopefully be an update thread soon.
If you consider yourself an expert of Knights' Kingdom or are just terribly bored and need something to do, I may consider you for a script consultant, I know I could use the feedback (but that's also what this thread is for).
So yeah, update thread and all that...if you have any suggestions regarding anything Knights' Kindom-ish I'd love to hear them!
