Trilogy , I hear??

There have been various rumours in the press over the last few months that there might be two other films to the merlin story planned to be filmed next year.

If so, will the story of Uther be developed?? The relationship between Uther and Merlin... and will Merlin find love with the lady of the lake??

I really enjoyed the first film, lets hope the Asylum go back to Wales , Uk and complete the story.... using of course , the horses , scenery , actors etc... from that lovely country.

Keep me posted!!

Several actors from Merlin and the War of the Dragons return in Dragon Crusaders, director Mark Atkins's latest movie for The Asylum. Looking at the cast listing for the latter on the IMDB I've spotted similiarities in the roles some of them play in both movies.

For example, in Merlin and the War of the Dragons Iona Thonger played Ingraine - Uther Pendragon's future wife and Queen, while Carys Eleri and Nia Ann played Viviane and Nimue - the Ladies of the Lake.
In Dragon Crusaders, Thonger is portraying the 'Forest Queen', while Eleri and Ann are playing two of the 'Witches of Caer'lo.'

Hmm. When Merlin and the War of the Dragons was originally released, director Mark Atkins did say in interviews that it was intended to be the first in a trilogy. Unfortunately it didn't happen, but I suspect that with Dragon Crusaders, Atkins has taken a script for one of the planned Merlin sequels and subjected it to a rewrite.
