Maximus and his bow and arrow

[meganbmoore]

New trailer for Ridley Scott's Robin Hood, which doesn't quite as strongly resemble "Gladiator in Sherwood Forest" but still has a lot of that feeling.

Looks a bit more promising, and I'm glad Marian gets to talk in this one, even if it isn't the most original line ever. (But fabulously delivered.) A couple comments

Hmmmm I don't know how I feel about all this anti-monarchy talk in a Robin Hood film. I mean Robin Hood has always had the theme of King Richard returning and Robin Hood fighting against the injustice of a King ruling without the right to rule. This trailer kind of feels as though he's fighting for democracy which just jars me

[meganbmoore]

Yes. It's possible that this is one of those things where the entirety of a theme is in the trailer and the actual product has much less, but I suspect it's significant that the movie is set after Richard's death.

One can only hope that if they're going down this route that it'll end with Magna Carter and then I can justify it to myself!

That...would be kind of cool.

I know right? No one ever uses the Magna Carter in film! And I can get at the plot the trailer is portraying as long as they tie it in at least a little with history!
