Well I don't think phrase "historical" has much to do with this one unfortunately Mark. Perhaps they will get the costumes close but the rest appears to be rather.....contrived. Judge for yourselves.

Yeah I just watch the trailer and it's about 2 knights transporting a girl who is suspected of being a witch and starting the Black Plague.Not exactly historical but could be good.There may be another Pirates of the Caribbean in 2011.Suppose to be focusing on Capt.Jack more.Good the last 2 focused too much on the girl (especially the last) and Orlando Bloom.Keira Knightly doesn't want to do it (good).After the first one she wanted to be an action hero and I think it took away from Johnny Depp as Capt.Jack.

I thought this was going to be a thread on Donovan.
When I looked out my window
Many sights to see
And when I looded in my window
So many different people to be
That is strange, so strange
You got to pick out every stitch (3)
Must be the season of the witch (3)
When I looked over my shoulder
What do you think I see
Summer cat looking over
It shoulder at me
Any strange, sure is strange
You got to pick out every stitch (2)
Beat me its eye to make it rich oh no
Must be the season of the witch (3)
You got to pick out every stitch
The rabbit's running in the ditch
Beat me its eye to make it rich oh no
Must be the season of the witch (3)
When I go
When I looked out my window
What do you think I see
And when I looked in my window
So many different people to be
It's strange, sure is strange
You got to pick out every stitch (2)
The rabbit's running in the ditch oh no
Must be the season of the witch (3)
When I to, when I go

He had so many good hits...
how did he stray so far...
what happened to him...
he didn't pull a Cat Stevens did he?
He seemed so talented and his musical career seemed so short.

Mike,
Here's his bio from 1969 on from allmusic.com (which by the way is a great site for any artist's music; I must use it a few times a day):
**
Barabajagal from 1969 generated Donovan's final Top 40 hit, "Atlantis"; for the title track, he collaborated with the Jeff Beck Group, with whom he also worked on 1970s Open Road. He then retreated to Ireland, emerging from a period of seclusion by starring in and scoring the 1972 film The Pied Piper; a pair of new LPs, Cosmic Wheels and Essence to Essence, appeared the following year to disappointing reviews and little commercial interest. Following 1974's 7-Tease, he spent the next years living quietly in California's Joshua Tree desert, mounting only a small club tour to promote 1976's Slow Down; a self-titled LP appeared a year later, and in the wake of 1983's Jerry Wexler-produced Lady of the Stars, he essentially retired from writing and recording altogether. The Donovan revival began in earnest in 1991 when Happy Mondays titled a song in his honor for their groundbreaking Pills 'n' Thrills & Bellyaches; he later toured with the group as well. Five years later, Donovan released his comeback LP, Sutras, helmed by producer du jour Rick Rubin. (The album had the misfortune to be released after Rubin's landmark Johnny Cash record, American Recordings and was virtually ignored or misunderstood by critics.) Donovan toured briefly to support Sutras and then went missing once again, playing out only sporadically. In 2004, however, he reappeared with the intimate and stylish Beat Cafe, a collection of nearly all-original songs produced by keyboardist John Chelew. Donovan also enlisted bassist Danny Thompson and drummer Jim Keltner to round out his quartet. The album featured a pair of covers, a spoken word rendition of poet Dylan Thomas' "Do Not Go Gentle," and a startling rendition of the traditional tune "The Cuckoo."

Ahhhhhh...
Nothing lasts forever...
rocks not what it used to be...
everytime I buy a new CD...my sister asks me...
"Do you ever buy anything from anyone still living"?
I am a classic rock guy...always will be...it's like my "comfort food"...
I did not know he had early roots with Jeff Beck...

Mike,
I've started listening lately to Buffalo Springfield. What an incredible group and what amazing music they made. One of the influential group of the 60s. That has now segued me onto folk rock and, of course, Crosby Still & Nash.

Loved CS&N...beautiful harmony...
I'm not sure as my mind plays tricks on me in my old age...but I think they performed on the Hall of Fame Rock and Roll Concert on HBO on tv last week...
"folk rock and roll"...
I had to drive to Houston this morning to play golf and picked up 3 random CD's...
one was Gordon Lightfoot....
I bought it for "The Wreck Of The Edmond Fitzgerald"
always loved that song.
