Why isn't this a movie?

So I just saw the trailer for "King Arthur"-- another Jerry Bruckheimer joint. Well, Mr. Bruckheimer, you need to read this book!Last time I went to Europe I brought "Elaine the Fair" with me, and I read the whole thing in just a couple of days. While it is VERY long (a good editor could've shaved a few hundred pages off), it is worth the time.An incredible story, well told, and it has all the elements of a blockbuster movie... Each chapter drove forward with an astounding, almost magical intensity. There are powerful moments that are described deftly by Taylor. One image burned into my mind is Elaine, covered only in blood, wielding a sword (too large for a woman normally) against an onslaught of attackers.Excellent book! And to think it's based on historical facts...
