There was a really good article about King Arthur in this week's Entertainment Weekly magazine. The movie was supposed to be a winter - not summer - release, and a lot of material was sacrificed due to fewer months for filming.
Also, Fuqua was like the third or fourth choice as a director. He wanted to make a bloody, violent "R" rated version, but Disney kept asking him to cut it down for a "PG13" rating. Fuqua's version may be released as a Special Edition Director's Cut DVD.
