2010 Films - New Robin Hood

[MiniMan64]

Anyone seen the trailer for this?

Another Ridley Scott/Russell Crow 'historical' film, it just looks like Gladiator 2 to me!

New? Whats wrong with the old one.

When I saw this was coming I thought to myself "Yes, this is just what the world needs, another Robin Hood film"

aoparently none of the other ones actually have a Robin hood in- they all used caterhams

Some bits filmed near me, so I will be going.

Watching Costners version now - it does look dated, so why not. Its a good story.

I think Gladiator II is actually called Centurion. Also due out soon.

English history/folklore is full of great heroes, we have had umpteen Hood/Arthur films, let's have one of the others for a change.

That's because much of it was filmed at exactly the same location as the opening scenes of Gladiator.

It's where I hoon about on my mountain bike.

Indeed - Bourne woods, I believe frensham pond also features in the film

Well, it has to be better than Costner's ouvre collosal turd. But it'll never match the original and best:

Costner's film was worth it just for Alan Rickman

Have we had even one yet that bears any resemblance to the original legend?

If they have done it properly this time it might be well worth seeing.

Agree completely with this, what about king alfred for a start?

And the english revolution,

also Boudicca?

no doubt russell crowe will be wearing knitted mail shirts and fibreglass armor, apparently it was too heavy for him in his previous films

always thought nottingham was in the centre of the country in a dense forest, the beach scene was a lot further than where he was supposed to live, but who cares about that sort of thing if it looks good

woods look like black park near pinewood studios
