WTF???

Apparently this is what Guenivere (Kiera Knightly) from the new King Arthur movie will look like.

Well, I like it.

I was afraid this movie would be all Hollywood with Medieval!Gowns'n'Crowns!Gwynhwyfar and anachronistic chivalrism and such.

Instead, we have Celt!Warrior!Gwyn -- which isn't necessarily correct, as I believe she was Norman -- but it's nice to see they actually put some thought into this film instead of basing it on the stereotype.

Ah, scratch that. Asked my sources [mon mere] and it is indeed so that she may have been Pictish. Actually, no one really knows for sure.

So, pictures are good.

It's just kind of extreme for me. Not extreme on its own (it's a cool costume), but extreme for the context of the story and her social standing/class. They'll have to really develop her "improved" backstory for me to buy into it. I'll be waiting to see how they explain it.
