Based on the story of the sword in the stone, The Kid Who Would Be King marks the first directorial endeavour for Attack the Block helmer Joe Cornish. To celebrate its release, we sat down with the filmmaker himself, as well as all of the leading cast-members form this adventurous British production.
We met the four leading kids – such as Louis Ashbourne Serkis, , as well as Merlin himself, Angus Imrie, and the wonderful Rebecca Ferguson, who plays the film’s primary antagonist Morgana.
