“Robin And The Hood”: Naomie Harris stars in Sky Family Adventure Film – AFM

Naomie Harris leads robin and the hood, A Sky family adventure film that was on sale on AFM.

The James Bond Star plays unscrupulous developer Clipboard in the comedy, which completed filming this summer and launches as a Sky Original in the UK and Ireland on Sky Cinema.

Harris is joined by Gwendoline Christie, Mark Williams (Harry Potter) and newcomer Darcey Ewart (Prancer: A Christmas Story). Ewart plays the lead role of Robin, Christie is environmental activist Aura and Williams, who played Arthur Weasley Harry Potter Filming, playing the role of the local mayor.

The logline says: For headstrong 11-year-old Robin (Ewart) and her loyal group of friends “The Hoods,” the patch of overgrown woods at the end of their cul-de-sac is a magical kingdom. Sticks and trash can lids have become swords and shields, drones have become majestic eagles, and the hippie lady in the woods (Christie) is a terrifying witch. The only thing limiting her colorful imagination is the prospect of losing her kingdom forever. When slick real estate developer Clipboard (Harris) arrives and dazzles local parents with promises of spas and daycare centers, Robin and The Hoods’ world faces an existential threat. Despite the children’s best efforts, their protests fall on deaf ears. When her parents can no longer see the forest for the trees, Robin and her friends take matters into their own hands to defend their kingdom.

GFM Global Sales joined as international sales agent following an agreement entered into before the AFM. Silver Reel and Future Artists Entertainment are producing.

Julia Stuart, original film director at Sky, said: “Robin and the Hood will be an adventure the whole family can enjoy on Sky Cinema, starring rising star Darcey Ewart as the iconic character Robin alongside Naomie Harris, Mark Williams and Gwendoline Christie.”

Not just any family film Robin and the Hood is a light-hearted, action-packed fantasy that takes me back to my own movie-loving childhood The Goonies And The story without end staffed every Saturday afternoon.
