  • Do we need another Robin Hood movie?



    IMO it's one of the stories that has been done to death, like "Count of Monte Cristo" or "Three Musketeers" stuff. I usually can't watch that anymore.

    Otoh it's a Ridley Scott movie, starring Russell Crowe (LordShiva: "Gladiator ") maybe they can give it an unique touch.

      Men in Tights is the best of them. Picture the opening scene: the opening credits roll and a hail of fire arrows fly into a village. The villagers run out screaming and organise a fire brigade. Then one comments "there must be another way of doing the credits." The fire marshall replies "that's right. Every time they make a Robin Hood movie, they burn our village down!"
      "You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

            From that Wikipedia link:

            The following April, director Ridley Scott was hired to helm Nottingham.[15] He had attempted to get rights for himself and 20th Century Fox, but had collaborated with Grazer on American Gangster and signed on as director rather than producer.[3] Scott was not a fan of previous film versions of Robin Hood, saying "the best, frankly, was Mel Brooks' Men in Tights, because Cary Elwes was quite a comic".[16]

              Gladiator meets Robin Hood
              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                Cary Elwes rocks.

                I was actually watching Men in Tights a few days ago. It got me thinking that we're about due for a new version of Robin Hood. Will it be darker and gritier than that Costner atrocity?
                John Brown did nothing wrong.

                    Robin Hood is socialist propaganda.

                      I never quite understood the beef with that movie. Since when was dark and gritty a bad thing?
                      Unbelievable!

                        Costner simply must be brought back. His occasional English accent was fantastic.

                            Dark and grity is a great thing. The beef with that movie is that Costner is not a good Robin Hood. He should stick to baseball movies.

                            Remake Robin Hood, with more blood and gore, and I'll eat it right up. I'm like a bloodthirsty sheep.

                              I think it would be cool. The storyteller makes the story, not necessarily the story that is being told.
