Deadline: Is the venerable rogue do-gooder Robin Hood becoming the “It” guy in Hollywood? Disney has acquired the Brandon Barker spec Nottingham & Hood, a revisionist take on the Robin Hood legend for Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman to produce through The Picture Company. This follows Sony staking a claim to Sherwood Forest as it bought a pitch by Cory Goodman and Jeremy Lott earlier this fall for high price. I’m told that Nottingham & Hood has a Pirates Of The Caribbean tone and the hope is to launch a new adventure franchise that fits Disney’s global brand
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
If there can be a cinematic arms race with Sherlock, I suppose the same can happen for Robin Hood. "Notthingham" and "Sherwood" sound like the best names to me, albeit very Smallville-ish. "Hood" is as ambiguous as it gets, but I like the sound of a swashbuckling, Pirates ton.
For the decades we've gotten Robin Hood movies, I hope we finally get a Robin Hood story that shows us who he is as a character, or whether Sheriff of Nottingham is as bad a dude as we think.
