Since the late 1300s there have been many different iterations of the legendary Robin Hood. The most famous story being “The Noble Birth and Gallant Atchievements of that Remarkable Out-Law, Robin Hood” (1678). But when it comes to film adaptations, that’s a different story…almost completely. The best known Robin Hood films are Prince of Thieves the one in which Kevin Costner starred in, Disney’s animated version and who can forget the Mel Brooks Men in Tights version? The most recent time the story came to the big screen was in 2010 which starred Russell Crowe. The legendary hero is once again getting his story told on the big screen but this time it stars Taron Egerton and Jamie Foxx.
Lionsgate released the first images for the upcoming film at CinemaCon and we have them for you below.
A war-hardened Crusader and his Moorish commander mount an audacious revolt against the corrupt English crown in a thrilling action-adventure packed with gritty battlefield exploits, mind-blowing fight choreography, and a timeless romance.
Alongside Egerton and Foxx the film will star Ben Mendelsohn (Doctor Strange) , Eve Hewson (Bridge of Spies), Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades of Grey), Paul Anderson (Peaky Blinders), and Josh Herdman (Harry Potter). The film is directed by Otto Bathurst (Black Mirror, Peaky Blinders).
