One constant for actors is realizing they'll never be able to predict where their colleagues will end up. Who could have predicted that two of the main actors in A Knight's Tale, Heath Ledger and Paul Bettany, would land marquee roles in two separate superhero cinematic worlds? Heath Ledger, as anyone who has seen a movie before will be able to tel...
A Knight's Tale was shot all on location in Czechoslovakia, with the whole cast present and two units shooting simultaneously. The cast and crew didn't just have a long flight to get there-- the work didn't stop when they started shooting. Principal photography lasted for more than four months, and the actors described the daily schedule as intense...
Movies are always looking for ways to make action as visually impactful as possible, and sometimes that means prop designers have to get crafty. Director Brian Helgeland wanted the jousters' lances to explode all over the screen every time they broke, and so the creative team came up with a solution: linguine. The lances were made with hollow insid...
Fans of A Knight's Tale who watched all the way to the end know that after the credits roll, there's a half-minute scene with William's team (Chaucer the herald, Kate the Blacksmith, and Roland and Wat the squires) where they have a farting contest. This scene was improvised, suggested by the actors themselves, who had grown to be quite friendly. D...
Sometimes being willing to do your own stunts doesn't cut it. Heath Ledger was a hot commodity in 2001, and the studio didn't want to see him get hurt. Since A Knight's Tale was filming real jousting - the most they did for safety was padding and easily breakable lance - it was simply too dangerous for their stars to take part. None of the actors w...
The actors may not have been doing the jousting, but that doesn't mean the jousting was faked. Director Brian Helgeland and his stunt people originally thought it would be too dangerous to actually joust, so they tried to come up with ways to fake it, involving tricky camera angles and CGI, but each solution looked worse than the last. Eventually, ...
Before A Knight's Tale ever went into production, Brian Helgeland and Paul Bettany had actually tried to make a previous movie together. Titled The Sin Eater, the movie halted when Fox said the studio didn't want Bettany. Helgeland insisted, and it all fell apart. When Helgeland was given greater creative control for A Knight's Tale, Bettany was th...
Rehearsals are important, but sometimes parties are even more so. Writer-director Brian Helgeland insisted to the studio that he get his actors to the shooting location two weeks ahead of the production schedule so they could go over the script and get to know one another. They did the latter, but not the former. Instead of rehearsing, the actors r...
A Knight's Tale isn't exactly known for being the most historically accurate film, as Brian Helgeland was more interested in engaging modern audiences and creating something unique than being a historian. It still might surprise some fans to learn that Paul Bettany, who played Geoffrey Chaucer, never read any of Chaucer to prepare for the role. Ins...
This one isn't specific to just A Knight's Tale, but it's a crazy detail nonetheless. In 2001, an unnamed Sony employee started sending the higher-ups at the company quotes from a film reviewer named David Manning, from the Ridgefield Press, a real periodical in Connecticut. The problem? Manning himself wasn't real. Manning's quotes were used to pr...
