NEW ROBIN HOOD TV SERIES
'THE OUTLAW CHRONICLES'
While no less than four new rival movies on the famed medieval Sherwood hero are being planned by different studios in Hollywood at the moment, it seems our green hero ROBIN HOOD will
sneak onto the small screens as well! As 'Deadline' reports, Free Mantle Media has bought TV rights on Angus Donald's historical adventure books THE OUTLAW CHRONICLES to be adapted by Michael Konyves whose LAST KNIGHTS with Clive Owen is currently playing in the cinemas around the world.

In THE OUTLAW CHRONICLES, as Robin’s mission turns from trying to
raise money for his pardon to something much greater, he must confront
the demons of his past, as well as protect those he most loves,
including Marie-Anne, Countess of Locksley, the love of his life.

No offense to Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner, Russell Crowe, or whomever they're casting here, but there's only one Robin Hood . . . and that is Michael Praed. :)
I had to google him, never heard of him before :) To me, Robin is Jonas Armstrong.
Its funny they are doing TUT, because that is a tough genre to make work in the box office.
I know "Gladiator" did well, but ever since the movie Fall of The Roman Empire in 1964 bombed it effectively killed off the "swords-and-sandals" genre.
I would not expect TUT to do well.
To me, Robin Hood is Richard Greene of the old British TV series from the 1960s.
but it is a TV series, dear, not a movie :) And when it comes to epic films, even when they don't pay of at the box office in USA, they usually do around the world or at the DVD market. Those are the films that last long at the DVD market
now I have to google him too :)
4? That's just too many. Hopefully they are spaced out to release years apart. Lol
LOL! Oops... now I see it is a TV show.
Yes, you are probably correct that the genre may be able to make money around the world.
However, I had just read an article about biggest box office bombs and that is where I pulled the swords-and-sandals genre bombing in the box office from.
I'm not going to complain about more Robin Hood stories. I love them. And the King Tut epic looks very dramatic. I'll give it a try. :)
usually the best of films don't make it at the boxoffice and vice versa
or not, SnowWhites came two months apart a few years ago :)
'tis just three summer nights :)
Where's my bow and arrows? Where's my sword? Summer doth fast approach, oh Lord Dezzy!! (smile)
I haven't seen a Robin Hood story in a while
I always love a good Robin Hood story!
it doth fast approacheth indeed!
you will now get multiple opportunities
hear ye, hear ye
My biggest thought is, "Will they get enough viewers on Spike to justify spending all that money?" Because it doesn't look like it was a cheap film to put together...
I'm guessing Robin Hood will be a cable production?
That Kingsley. He's good in everything.
they have a plan of changing their programme and reaching a wider audience and this is one step in that direction ... this certainly puts them on a worldwide map because they can sell it to many countries
could be, but doesn't have to be
Boy King certainly has a compelling trailer.
Boy King certainly has a compelling trailer.
glad you think so
That Ben Kingsley never fails to produce a dynamite character.
should be interesting to see him in this one
Tut looks impressive.
glad you think so
Robin Reboot?
Bobin Beroot?
Hello Sherriff... check out my big arrow!
