Those hot hunks from Sherwood! I agree fully with you that the costumes looks so alluring! Love that coat the Sheriff is wearing!
ReplyDeleteI somehow remember Anne with an E while looking at Ophelia :)
Sheriff has got some style! Or a stylist, money can buy those.
DeleteI like them both :)
ReplyDeleteshould be great fun!
DeleteBoth of these look good to me! :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
that's the popular opinion!
DeleteTim Minchin should ROCK as Friar Tuck!
ReplyDeletehad to google him :) He seems crazy enough for the role
DeleteAgree, they are both looking good, even though Naomi Watts is not one that I care for much.
ReplyDeleteshe's always boring and her face is as dead as dodo! But at least we get to call her a Gertrude, I think we should call every boring person a gertrude from now on!
DeleteWe will start the new Gertrude movement!
Deletewe already did!
DeleteRobin Hood should be good. It's always interesting to see what new take/twist is added to the story.
ReplyDeleteHope we get a trailer soon!
DeleteEven Robin Hood is a kid now?
ReplyDeleteand has a rapper sidekick....
