Originally, there was no wedding scene at the end of the film; the scene on the battlefield with Lancelots (
Ioan Gruffudd
) body is longer and involves a short monologue from Merlin (
Stephen Dillane
), where he tells Arthur (
Clive Owen
) he hasnt failed his knights despite the death of Lancelot and Tristan (
Mads Mikkelsen
). This scene is then followed by the funeral scene, which is also longer, with Bors (
Ray Winstone
) giving a short monologue. This is then followed by a scene of Lucan (
Johnny Brennan
) trying to remove Excalibur from a stone. He fails, but Arthur tells him that one day hell be strong enough to do it. Black smoke then rises from Lancelots pyre and there is a fade to the slow motion shots of the horses riding. However, after several poor test screenings, the audiences biggest complaint was that the ending was too melancholy and needed a scene to finalize the romance aspect of the story. As such, the wedding scene between Arthur and Guinevere (
Keira Knightley

Antoine Fuqua
dislikes the new ending, and on his DVD commentary states that he much prefers the original, darker ending.

s story "Draculas Guest" which was written as a chapter in his 1897 novel "Dracula," but excised due to the novels length. It was first published in 1914, two years after Stokers death. Other elements are loosely based on the 1872 short story "Carmilla" by
