A Knight’s Tale: The Shooting Script
Product Description
Featuring 50 movie stills in full color, the only official tie-in to the Columbia Pictures film, written, produced, and directed by Academy Award®-winner Brian Helgeland (co-writer/co-producer of L.A. Confidential), starring Heath Ledger (The Patriot). This is the rousing story of lowborn William Thatcher (Heath Ledger) and his band of medieval misfits as they careen their way towards impossible glory. The fearless squire William, softhearted Roland (Mark Addy), hot-headed Wat (Alan Tudyk), Kate the blacksmith (Laura Fraser), and an itinerant writer/storyteller named Geoff Chaucer (Paul Bettany) join forces in a story that’s part romance, part road trip, part exuberant swashbuckler. This unique Newmarket Shooting Script® edition includes the film’s complete shooting script, an introduction written especially for this book by Brian Helgeland, an exclusive 24-page color photo album with 50 photos, and full film credits.

Written by the screenwriter and director of “A Knight’s Tale” this book provides a fascinating insider’s look at the film’s creation. The 24 page photo album includes rare candid shots of the film’s cast and crew.
The story is a classic underdog tale with likeable characters. I particularly enjoyed reading the scenes that were ultimately not included in the film. Although I have watched the movie several times… these passages added a depth to the characters that made kept the storyline fresh for me.

This was an awesome movie that I absolutely loved, so of course, I had to buy and read the screen play. Brian Helgeland was a brilliant author to create such a wonderful and fun script that everyone could enjoy. It was one of the funniest movies I ever saw and the script was also, undoubtedly hilarious. This story has it all: action, comedy, and romance. A story to please all.

A Knight’s Tale. I haven’t actualy seen the movie, but I have read the script. It’s amazing!! It is funny, interesting, romantic and clever. It tells the story of William Thatcher(Heath Ledger), who is a peasant and the son of a thatcher. When the Knight that William is under the employment of, suddenly dies right before he is supposed to joust, William must joust in his place. Although only himself, and his two friends Wat and Roland, know that it is him jousting and not the real night. You must be of noble blood to compete. Suprisingly, William wins and finds that he is a natural at jousting. He decides to go to a big jousting tournament in a few weeks, under the alias of Sir Ulrich Von Lichtenstein. Wat and Roland help train him and get him ready to joust, and they go to the tournament. There William sees the girl of his dreams, Jocelyn (Shannon Sassomon), and will do anything to win her heart. When he’s jousting, he beats everybody there except Count Adhemere(the “bad guy” in the movie). William swears that he will beat Adhemere next time he jousts him. The plot goes on, there are some interesting twists and you meet some more neat characters. This is a really great movie, and this script is easy to read. You will LOVE “A Knight’s Tale”!! Don’t miss it!!
