David Michod: The King of Human and Animal Kingdoms
Lost Section Of Oldest Manuscript Of ‘Tale Of Genji’ Discovered“The original manuscript of the story no longer exists, with the oldest versions of the story believed to have been transcribed by the poet Teika, who died in 1241. Until now, just four chapters of the 54-chapter story are confirmed to be Teika’s transcriptions, but now a fifth chapter, which depicts Genji’s encounter with the girl who becomes his wife, Murasaki, has also been identified as Teika’s. The manuscript had been kept in an oblong chest in a storeroom at the Tokyo home of Motofuyu Okochi, a descendant of [a] former feudal lord.” – The Guardian
Six years ago, David Michod and Joel Edgerton – neighbours, besties and Australian film luminaries – started tossing around the idea of making a film about Henry V and the political machinations that preceded the Battle of Agincourt.

In The King, Hal comes to the throne vowing an end to his father Henry IV's warmongering with Scotland, but is almost instantly inveigled into war with France. He ultimately has his victory, but only after being betrayed and undermined by his own advisers. The war, he now knows, was a brutal folly. Thrones are not places to play games. And he will be watching his back for the rest of his days.
