Good one.

 

I admire them for having the guts to green-light such an obvious flop although maybe they should have just gone ahead and done something new in this quasi-medieval setting instead of just doing yet-another Robin Hood movie. It might even have done slightly better as something a bit more fresh.

A bit like God of Egypt, I would assume that was made because Liongates could pre-sales the international market to finance 85/90% of the budget.

 

Known franchise but not own by anyone because it is so old, so no fee to pay, somewhat star power but at a reasonable price, modern action-comedy take that with a pre-viz of what nice trailer it could give at the end and production design choice you can try to sell. With obvious sequel potential if it would have work. With Leonardo DiCaprio producing.

 

It is to note that this movie started to shoot before the Ritchie Arthur movie released in theater, not sure they wold have been able to sell it after.

Maybe they could have chilled with the arrow motif on this considering it's aimed at like every good guy. Though i like the giant people on fire to the right.

Lots of weird costume choices but the Maid Marion slip prom dress from the 1970s takes the cake...

That has crossed my mind.

Or maybe they sold 200% of the film and need a flop to finish the scam....the Max BIalystock scenario.

I was randomly scrolling through Fandango, and it seems there are some special sneaks a la ASIB at some of my Regal theaters near me for the Monday before opening day. Weird, but okay.

Who wrote this synopsis??

 

Quote

Robin of Loxley (Taron Egerton) a war-hardened Crusader and his Moorish commander (Jamie Foxx) mount an audacious revolt against the corrupt English crown in a thrilling action-adventure packed with gritty battlefield exploits, mind-blowing fight choreography, and a timeless romance.

If by "Crusader" they mean he actually took part in the crusades, then that's certainly one way to appeal to the Trump/Islamophobe crowd :L

Under a Moorish commander? 

[Valonqar]

Taron Egerton a war hardened crusader? 

 

 

 

[The Futurist]

This will silence the Robin Hood brand for at least 16 years.

I  admit I laughed outloud at that...don't know if it was the guy who wrote the PR release or the screenwriters, but somebody sure as hell is clueless when it comes to history.

Look, I am not expecting a Robin Hood to be historically accurate, but there is taking liberties with History and there is being just plain stupid, and this is just plain stupid.

Nah, Bohemian Rhapsody got that treatment, and it's doing well:)...now, if they do the Atom BOGO WITH the $4 ticket deal....then yeah, it's a desperation sign (although isn't this entire movie a desperation sign?:)

It's a modern masterpiece that needs no reviews. It's all obvious in previews.
