"Camelot star Joseph Fiennes has revealed that magic will play a part in the new Starz drama. However, the actor - who plays Merlin - admitted that the rise of Arthur will be the main focus of the show. &amp;quot;The magic lies in the political essences of the piece,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Yes, there will be dark arts. You&amp;#039;ll see things disappearing and changing shape, but it&amp;#039;s really about the birth of a legend. It&amp;#039;s [about] power [being] given to the wrong individuals, a country split by war and greed\u2026 and the assent of a pure king and noble minds.&amp;quot; He also revealed that he has pictures of Star Wars characters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker on his dressing room wall, explaining that the pair&amp;#039;s relationship is similar to the one shared by Merlin and the young Arthur. &amp;quot;Merlin is a cross between Obi Wan Kenobi and Donald Rumsfeld,&amp;quot; he claimed. Fiennes also expressed regret at the cancellation of his previous science-fiction series, the ABC drama FlashForward. &amp;quot;It was hugely ambitious and it&amp;#039;s sad about it being taken off air for so long,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;We didn&amp;#039;t pull it off.&amp;quot; Camelot is expected to premiere on Starz early next year.
