Ridley Scott's Robin Hood

[Batman1980]

Bleh tbh I'm not sure this is a story that needs to be told again. I love Men in Tights and Prince of Thieves and the animated Disney movie...would take quite a trailer and a very glowing review from Ebert to get me to see this.

That is exactly what this film won't be, haha no tights as Russell said, and oh I don't know since it is in England maybe some accents might help cough*Kevin Costner*cough

You actually need Ebert to tell you what movies to see? I thought all men possessed free will?

[Batman1980]

I don't actually but Ebert and I agree about 99% of the time on movies so if he really likes something then I'll probably like it as well.

I like Robert Wilonsky on ultimate trailers Maybe that's cause he's such a Paul Rudd fan though........

Carey Elwes is the only Robin Hood to talk with an English accent

We already have a Robin Hood from Disney and a Robin Hood with Kevin Costner....


...but apparently that's just not enough Robin Hood?

Personally my favorite was men in tights....but I mean come on.....the whole reason that was funny is that Robin Hood has been done to death, and thusly does not need to ever be done again.

Even with Ridley Scott behind the project, somehow I doubt they can do another iteration of this story and get away with it while still making money. It would have to be pretty damn gritty, to be sure. Crowe would have to deliver some oscar worthy acting.

Nah, just doesn't seem likely....but yes, even I who doubt the most will hold a tiny flickering flame for Scott, who needs to prove he can still pump out a beast or two.

Scott has promised this will be the Gladiator vision of Robin Hood, so yeah they look to be going for old school brutal Crowe and Scott here.
