Hopefully Joaquin Phoenix will be the Sheriff of Nottingham and Djimon Whatshisname can be Little John or Azim or whatever.

Nah. I'm not really jazzed. It could be good, I'll have to see more. Robin Hood is kind of like Dracula, in that it's been done so many times that there really needs to be something fresh. The only reason I'm not writing it off is because of Scott.

The last time I heard anything about this movie, it had Crowe as the sheriff and was called "Nottingham".

There aren't many Ridley Scott movies I like but I'll surely take this Gladiator pt 2.

the assembled cast definitely carries alot of gravity

He was actually playing both. It was some lame ass twist movie where Robin and the Sheriff are the same person. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde disguised as Robin Hood.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #10 on:** December 16, 2009, 07:58:01 PM »

The origins of "Robin Hood" just hint at literally a homeless thief so they actualy have a lot of leeway to be creative with this if they wanted to be. Personally, I think it would be cool if they actually tried to show how the modern Robin Hood myth was formed and make a story that's actually meaningful of the politics of the time. I think Russel Crowe could actually do a film like that well.

But most likely, they're making this whole warrior-poet rehash just for sales. Going by the premise of the film on wikipedia, it's just another robin hood movie.

Told by a dying old man, giving his confession to the church perhaps; he was a kid during Robin Hood's time.

Man, I was going to make a Zeitgeist joke with your post before this one but wasn't sure if it was apt. Guess I was right.

And no one really cares about the myth itself but the romanticized take on Robin Hood. It's just more exciting.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #21 on:** December 16, 2009, 09:04:21 PM »

No, if you make what happens on screen look real/authentic, then a story that shows the way a homeless thief gets made into legend can be interesting. The traditional Robin Hood legend is boring and tripe. It's just tired and useless as far as any serious movie goes. However, you reverse it and show it all treated as hopeless fantasy of the people of the time, and it becomes interesting. If your audience is over 12 years old.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #24 on:** December 16, 2009, 10:37:17 PM »

I don't know if you should call it a period movie if it just takes real people and makes up most of the stuff about them. Like the princess that Wallace is shown having an affair with (and impregnating) was actually a toddler at that time..

Gladiator was OK since it was 99% action like the title would imply and never claimed to be showing a real historical event (at least not that I can remember.

And his utter inability to act.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #33 on:** December 17, 2009, 04:41:42 AM »

I'm pretty sure Robin Hood always used a traditional English long bow and realistically, long bowman would be pretty big and buff since they had to be able to lift 200 pounds each time they did a full draw on one of those bows. Having a skinny-ass lithe motherfucker carrying around a long bow would be like a Japanese porn star wearing magnum condoms.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #34 on:** December 17, 2009, 05:09:34 AM »

yeah, the original "Robin Hood" probably was actually a malnourished thief. Maybe the archery part was thrown in when England became proud of it's archers' military superiority.

However, anybody can figure out that no holocaust-surviving elves could really draw a long bow more than a few inches, they certainly wouldn't be able to pick off anybody from a distance and you can just bet that this movie is going to show some sniping scenes only possible because Russel Crowe lacks agility and humor.

Quote from: Edge™ of Kosma on December 17, 2009, 05:00:56 AM

Using a longbow in a forest

It wouldn't make sense, I agree. But that's what the trailer showed where Crowe is just using a long bow and lots of rage.

You know what would rock?

A Robin Hood tale focussed on the Sheriff trying to track that bitch down.

That's what it was going to be originally. Then Ridley Scott had the bright idea of Nottingham and Robin Hood being the same dude. Then he decided that sounded stupid and now he's apparently just doing a traditional (?) heroic Robin Hood movie.

I'm not sure what to think of this, but all Scott's historical pictures thus far have been pretty ace...

King Don of Heaven sounds good. Hope it's better than Kingdom of Heaven, which featured some of the worst acting from a lead I have ever seen, and is in no way better than either Braveheart or Gladiator.

Ridley Scott has the weirdest career, he's got some stone-cold classics, a bunch of middling flicks to good/great, and some utter dreck in his resume. I mean, yeah, you can say the same about lots of people who've made great films, but few of those people have something like 1492 or G.I. Jane (I coulda swore that was a Tony Scott movie) in their histories.

I never know to be whether to be excited for his next film or not. Like this one for instance.
