Heath Ledger as William Thatcher looking angrily at a person offscreen in A Knight's Tale
The Big Picture A Knight's Tale is a movie that needs to be seen to be believed – both for how it wrangles a talented cast together, including the late, great Heath Ledger, and how it blends a medieval setting with a classic rock soundtrack. Given how beloved A Knight's Tale is, one would think a sequel would be greenlit. It turns out that Netflix and Sony almost greenlit a sequel.
Release Date May 11, 2001 Director Brian Helgeland Cast Heath Ledger , Rufus Sewell , Shannyn Sossamon , Paul Bettany , Laura Fraser , Mark Addy Runtime 132 Main Genre Action Writers Brian Helgeland Studio Sony Pictures Releasing The Sequel to 'A Knight's Tale' Could Have Featured Pirates and Addressed Heath Ledger's Passing In a conversation with Inverse about his career, Helgeland discusses A Knight's Tale as well as penning the Denzel Washington/Tony Scott action thriller...
On paper, that sounds like a solid follow up to A Knight's Tale; not only would it bring back the characters that audiences grew to love from the original film , but it also had a new story with another great hook by swapping pirates instead of knife. Helgeland even revealed that Bettany pitched him the idea of William passing away during a war and having a daughter with Jocelyn . William's daughter then would be taught how to joust while hiding her identity as a woman.
