Another Robin Hood film titled Robin and Hood, and the project’s cast has been revealed. That cast includes Gwendoline Christie (game of Thrones), Naomie Harris (Sky fall), Marco Williams (Harry Potter), AND Darcey Ewart (Prancer: A Christmas Tale, for Olivia). Robin Hood is one of those timeless stories that Hollywood seems to enjoy telling again and again.
In this version of the story, audiences will follow “tenacious 11-year-old Robin (Ewart) and her loyal band of friends, called ‘The Hoods,’ for whom the patch of unkempt scrub at the end of their cul-de-sac is a kingdom magical. Sticks and bin lids have become swords and shields, drones have become majestic eagles and the hippie lady in the forest (Christie) is a terrifying witch. The only thing that limits their colorful imaginations is the prospect of losing their kingdom forever. When the elusive real estate developer Clipboard (Harris) shows up and wows area parents with the promise of spas and childcare facilities, the world of Robin and The Hoods faces an existential threat. Despite the children’s best efforts, their protests fall on deaf ears. When their parents can’t see the forest because of the trees, Robin and her friends take matters into their own hands to defend their kingdom.
This is definitely a different and unique take on history. The film was directed by Phil Hawkins (Prancer: A Christmas Tale) and was written by Stuart Benson AND Paul Davidson. Filming was completed over the summer.
Producer Claudia Bluemhuber shared in a statement: “We were thrilled with Stuart and Paul’s script from the moment we saw it: Robin and the Hood is a story with a big heart and lots of laughs, reminding us of the power and the importance of imagination”. in a world that is rapidly losing it. Having the amazing quartet of Naomie, Mark, Gwendoline and Darcey lead our cast is a brilliant coup and we are thrilled that Sky, Future Artists and GFM are joining us on this adventure!”
