NEW YORK – Eva Green loves playing strong, even dangerous women.
On the new Starz series "Camelot," Green treats herself big-time — and makes the most of it.
There she is, as Morgan, in the series' opening scene, fiercely facing down King Uther, the father Morgan believes has betrayed her. Drawing on her sorcery skills, she soon will arrange the king's sudden death. She means to succeed him on the throne. And when Uther's unknown son, Arthur, emerges to claim the crown, Morgan declares war on her half brother as well as the wizard Merlin, Arthur's mysterious mentor.
"This castle and realm should be mine," she proclaims.
"Camelot" premieres Friday at 10 p.m. EDT (airing opposite "Merlin," a retelling of the Arthurian legend with Merlin as a young man, now in its third season on Syfy).
"Camelot" stars heartthrob Jamie Campbell Bower (the "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" film sagas) as Arthur, a carefree, impetuous young man who was raised from infancy as a commoner and is as surprised as anyone to learn his destiny: to lead Britain from a dark, troubled present into a bright, hope-filled tomorrow.
Joseph Fiennes ("Shakespeare in Love," the TV series "FlashForward") is Merlin, who has foreseen the legend of Arthur and aims to see it come to pass.
But Merlin and Arthur will have their hands full with Morgan as their rival.
