    He's fictional, but you can't have everything.

Ritchie, Hodge at Warners table
Warner Bros. is launching a King Arthur project with "Sherlock Holmes" helmer Guy Ritchie attached to direct and "Trainspotting" scribe John Hodge scripting for Atlas Entertainment and Hollywood Gang. . . .
Hodge is working on the script with Ritchie with the project aimed to be a re-imagining of the legend of Arthur, believed to have been a sixth century king defended Britain against Saxon invaders. Key source material will be Sir Thomas Mallory's "Le Morte d'Arthur," first published in 1485 as a compilation of French and English tales. . . .

Well, this seems to indicate that the Warren Ellis story is still floating around somewhere. I don't know about John Hodge. His screenplays have really gone downhill since Trainspotting.
