Paul McGuigann will direct The Weinstein Co's upcoming film, FOUR KNIGHTS.

The film, a historical drama, is set in 12th century England and follows four foul-mouthed knights sent by King Henry II to negotiate the peace with the troublesome but hugely popular Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Beckett. The knights' mission goes wrong when they murder Beckett and flee to a remote castle with the whole country baying for their blood.

Paul Webb will pen the screenplay based on the play FOUR KNIGHTS IN KNARESBORO.
