New Regency Goes ‘Medieval’

“This is Medieval Times!”
Love that scene in ‘Cable Guy’.  Anywho, New Regency Pictures has acquired the Alex Litvak and Michael Finch-penned screenplay for ‘Medieval’.  The screenplay was sold in a bidding environment with New Regency coming out on top.
The film’s story line plays like ‘The Dirty Dozen’ in the age of castles, plagues and serfs, which the studio hopes to spin as a hyper-realistic action movie in the vein of ‘300.’
Sources close to the deal say the original screenplay was sold for $800,000 against $1.6 million, a colossal payday not seen in some time in the spec market.
