Ridley Scott just likes the middle ages.

7 1/2 minutes trailer for World Without End the sequel to Pillars of the Earth. (Set 150 years later, so I'm guessing only the fictional town and maybe a couple characters descended from the PotE charactersw are the only relationship? I haven't read either book yet.)

Miranda Richardson is a nun! And the villains don't look as over the top as they were in PotE.

Then there's Labyrinth, based on Kate Mosse's I also haven't read) also due out later this year, but which doesn't yet have a release date or official trailer that I'm aware of, but I did find a low-quality video of some footage:

(I believe the modern heroine's research leads her to the medieval heroine's story?)

They made a mini-series for World Without End? I find the novel weaker in story and less engaging than PotE, and Charis annoys me in that I feel the author is trying too hard to make her a strong woman character. But, if the PotE mini-series is anything to go by, the WWE mini-series might be a different beast than the novel, hopefully more entertaining.
