Arthur The King Featurette Clip Highlights The Incredible True Story Of Arthur The Dog

Arthur The King is a larger-than-life adventure story that is based on true events. The movie adapts athlete and author Mikael Lindnord’s autobiographical book Arthur: The Dog Who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home, which tells the story of the improbable bond Lindnord forged with a dog while on a 435-mile racing expedition. The movie stars Mark Wahlberg as Lindnord, was written by Lindnord and Michael Brandt (2 Fast 2 Furious) and directed by Simon Cellan Jones (The Family Plan).

Screen Rant is excited to offer a look at the film featurette “A Love Letter to Arthur”. The featurette explores Arthur the King’s true story and features an interview with Lindnord himself. It also presents a look at a number of scenes from the movie as well as Wahlberg as Lindnord, desperate for one final chance to win the Adventure Racing World Championship. Take a look at the featurette and get ready to watch Arthur the King when it hits theaters nationwide on March 15.

More About Arthur The King

As Screen Rant’s Mark Wahlberg interview for the film proves, Arthur the King aims to be more than a feel-good story about a man and a dog. Wahlberg took on an intense training regimen to accurately portray Lindnord who, as part of being an adventure racer, was multi-disciplined and in incredible shape with high discipline and endurance. The movie looks to tell its fictionalized version of Lindnord’s experience as realistically as possible, and that dedication extended beyond Wahlberg to the rest of the cast.

As seen in the Arthur the King trailer, the film also benefits from the pedigree of its supporting cast. Starring alongside Wahlberg are Simu Liu (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Barbie), Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones, Fast X), and, of course, Ukai the dog. Juliet Rylance (Perry Mason), Michael Landes (Obliterated, Cruel Summer) and Paul Guilfoyle (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Star Trek: Discovery) are also in the movie.

Arthur the King showtimes are listed on a range of websites and, as of now, the only way to see the movie is in theaters. Given the featurette above, however, the inevitable digital release of the film will boast special features to give audiences a deeper look into the world of the movie. Though some elements of Lindnord’s story have been dramatized for the sake of the film itself, companion pieces like the above featurette are perfect for enjoying the movie beyond its theatrical run.
