ROBIN 'HOOD' TO BECOME
HISTORICAL MOVIE FRANCHISE
The biggest news today is that Sony has bought a script for HOOD fast paced historical action franchise in a heated war with other studios! Imagined as a
franchise of movies which would each deal with the green archer Robin Hood and his men from Sherwood, these films would each focus on a different character from Little John and Friar Tuck to Will Scarlett with them being presented as a sort of mediaeval superhero team which shares the same universe like in AVENGERS and X MEN! The idea for the script comes from Cory Goodman ('The Last Witch Hunter') and Jeremy Lott ('Lore')! We saw Robin Hood last time in Hollywood four years ago with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett!

I'm not sure about this Robin Hood adaptation as the Superhero thing is getting a bit tired.
ReplyDeletethis is not a typical superhero film, dear, just the similar concept in the way that the characters will be sharing the same universe
DeleteI imagine the remaking of Robin Hood is going to be good. After all, there's lots of colourful characters for the writers to get their teeth into. And who doesn't love Robin Hood? :)
ReplyDeleteI hope they do a good casting, because they're screwing up with KING ARTHUR franchise big time in that department.... I loved the casting in BBC Robin Hood series...
DeleteYes, that is a terrible shame. To say the least...
DeleteI generally hate most of the castings done in recent years... the new generation of popular actors is just terrible...
DeleteTerrible indeed. Hear hear.
Deleteand singers too!
DeleteBut that's Green Arrow
ReplyDeletemaybe for kids whose knowledge doesn't go further than past 15 years....
DeleteI hope the Robin Hood movies will be based on the Stephen Lawhead books. Robin Hood is a favorite character for me. :)
ReplyDeleteI liked the book as a kid too
DeleteJuvie really appeals to me since I've worked in an alternative school before.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Robin Hood stories and movies.
it could be a really heartwarming series if they don't go cynical
DeleteI don't know how well they are going to do with the Robin Hood (though I love the concept) but if Robin is as scary looking as the drawing, I won't be tuning in.
ReplyDeleteI hope they don't mess it up with casting a very wrong actor for the Robin role
DeleteRobin Who... oh yes... Hood! Could be interesting?
ReplyDeleteRobin Whood :)
DeleteOOH I like the premise of the Kerry Washington movie. Like that Ryan Reynolds movie with the daughter from 10 years or so ago--can't remember the name of it.
ReplyDeleteI think I will like Kerry's movie a lot if they cast the right guys in the roles :)
DeleteFive Ghosts sounds kind of interesting.
ReplyDeleteRegarding your comment about my blog link on my Google page. It's a little complicated. I have 2 Google Plus accounts. The link to my blog is listed on the About page of the Google account it is associated with. I cannot list it on the other account. But what I did, was provide the link to my website. The blog can be found through the website if you scroll to the bottom of the page (on the right).
yes, but can't you just not use the bad account :) Use the one with links in it :) Nobody is able to reach your blog if you use that one. I haven't visited your place for about two weeks due to this
DeleteRobin.... zzzzzzz oh sorry.... you were saying? Would you say this is a reboot?
ReplyDeleteNope, no reboot there!
DeleteAh then it's a re-imaging!
Deleteor a reproduction
DeleteOr an unabashed attempt at rape.
Deletewhich reminds me of Rihanna's and Miley's mistreatment of music....
DeleteIs the One kinda takes a bit from the movie Definitely, Maybe with the past relationships and the guess work. I really want to see this Fabian channel the ghost of a vampire. Seriously, I want to see this done. Hope the Robin Hood plan pans out. You never know.
ReplyDeletewe do love romcoms and epic historical movies
