As legendary as the three musketeers! Will this action hero return to theaters?

Since 1908 and his first foray into the big screen, the legend of Robin Hood has largely been a source of inspiration for filmmakers. There are countless adaptations of the adventures of the magnanimous bandit, be it live action or animation.

A hero with a thousand facets

The one who robs the rich to give to the poor has been played by great comedians, from Douglas Fairbanks to Errol Flynn, including Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe. Disney even dedicated one of the best animated films to him in 1973.

A British hero from the English medieval oral tradition, Robin Hood was never really a figure in French cinema. Max Bublil attempted the comedy Robin Hood, a true story in 2015, but it was a dismal failure with only 500,000 admissions and an AlloCiné audience rating of 1.5 out of 5.

In 2018, the adaptation with Taron Egerton as the hooded bandit also failed to find its audience. Directed by Otto Bathurst, the film was a commercial failure, earning only $86 million worldwide on a $100 million budget. In France, it attracted only 365,000 curious people.

So Robyn won’t be making any more recipes? That didn’t stop him Gaumont and Albertine Productions Launching a project around this legendary outlaw hidden in Sherwood Forest. It’s November 2022, and the studio has announced that Ludovic Bernard (10 Days Without a Mother) will take the lead in an ambitious Robin Hood-centric film.

ROBIN Stubborn, Stubborn, Flirting Stubborn!

“Robin Hood’s ambition is huge. Robin is a bandit with a big heart: he is a Saxon, he falls in love with a Norman woman, he is loyal to his king and he redistributes the wealth. After Errol Flynn, Walt Disney’s Fox and Kevin Costner, we want to bring a French touch to this modern hero.said producer Matthieu Tarot, Albertine Productions.

Since the announcement of this project, we have had no other news. Ludovic Bernard managed to produce two other productions: 10 Days Without Mother Again and Isi and La Bas, in addition to two episodes of the 3rd season of the Lupin series. Will he finally deal with Robin Hood after this?

We have not been able to collect any information on this topic at this time. However, after the success of large-scale historical murals such as the Three Musketeers diptych and the upcoming Monte Cristo, it’s a safe bet that Robin Hood will be the next costumed hero on the list. Which actor would you see wearing the tunic and bonnet of the Sheriff of Nottingham’s famous nemesis? I’ll let you discuss.
