ALAN'S BLOG | ARTHURIAN BRITAIN PENDRAGON FILM PROJECT FORUM

The film was produced by Ridley Scott who had first tried to get a production going in the late 1970s. It is easy to wonder at what Tristan + Isolde might have been if Scott had directed this himself rather than it being left to Kevin Reynolds (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Waterworld). However, that is not to say that the film is poor in fact it is strangely affecting and James Franco as Tristan is actually rather good. The interesting themes in the film just needed a bigger budget to be explored and perhaps some of the characterization was a little weak. Overall there is much to enjoy as instead of going with the mindless entertainment of Robin Hood, Reynolds kept to the intrigue of his 2002 film, 'The Count of Monte Cristo.'
