A Knight's Tale (film)

A Knight's Tale (2001) is a film written and directed by Brian Helgeland which is very loosely based on The Knight's Tale from The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer.

Controversy

Despite receiving mixed critical reaction, one supporter of the film at the time of its release was film critic David Manning who, among other things, labelled Ledger "the year's hottest new star". In late 2001, however, Manning was revealed to be fictitious, created by Sony to fake publicity for the film.

As of August 2005, Sony has agreed to refund $5 to anyone who saw the film - as well as Hollow Man, The Animal, The Patriot or Vertical Limit - in American theatres between August 3, 2000 and October 31, 2001.
