It’s been seven years since Russell Crowe’s panned Robin Hood movie and now Hollywood is trying the well trodden tale again with an origin story.
The 2018 reboot stars Kingsman lead Taron Egerton, with Jamie Foxx as Little John, Jamie Dornan as Will Scarlet, Ben Mendelssohn as the Sheriff of Nottingham and Tim Minchin as Friar Tuck.
While the film is slated for release in March next year, not much information has surfaced from the Dubrovnik set – where Star Wars: The Last Jedi was also filming.
Express.co.uk caught up with the film’s producer and screenwriter Joby Harold at the European premiere of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, to find out more about the project.
He said: “It’s actually very different. Much more grounded, a little bit more serious than this [King Arthur].
“[It’s] about a man coming back from war and seeing what’s happened to his country.
“[He’ll] realise that what he was fighting for was actually very different.”
So far it sounds like your standard Robin Hood myth, as seen in the Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner films.
However what exactly is different about it? Perhaps it’ll take inspiration from something like Game of Thrones.
One thing’s for sure though: with a subtitle like Origins you can bet they’re planning a franchise.
Robin Hood: Origins is slated for release on March 23, 2018.
