Fans got the royal treatment yesterday at 200 AMC theaters across the U.S. with a free advanced screening of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. A lucky group of viewers even got to watch the movie with the King himself, Charlie Hunnam, along with director Guy Ritchie and Djimon Hounsou, who plays Sir Bedivere in the film.

Before the screening Hunnam, Hounsou and Ritchie sat down with IMDB for a Facebook live session to discuss the film. Watch a playback here:

April 25

Collider yesterday debuted a new poster for the upcoming fantasy/thriller/adventure King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. Designed by seminal artist Shepard Fairey's Studio Number One, the artwork is a clever redux of a playing card featuring Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) and Vortigern (Jude Law) with the text "From Stone to the Throne," in reference to Arthur pulling the sword Excalibur from stone and becoming the rightful King of England.

Fairey is the artist behind the ubiquitous Andre the Giant OBEY street sticker art and clothing line, as well as and the "Hope" campaign posters of that came to define the 2008 Obama presidential campaign. 

The new King Arthur: Legend of the Sword poster was released in celebration of the upcoming "King for a Day" promotion taking place on April 27, where fans will have the chance to attend an early screening of the film at 200 AMC theaters nationwide. 

Can't make it to a "King for a Day" screening? Don't worry, you can still help Arthur and his gang take back the kingdom when King Arthur: Legend of the Sword opens in theaters on May 12.
