Is that the show where Marian wakes up Robin Hood and screams BAKA and hits him with a warhammer because he has morning wood?

Legend of Tarzan sidestepped most of the origin story because nobody needs to see that origin story again. What it did show was important to the plot and fit in nicely. It also didn't have a sequel hook.

muscles like this! posted:Remember how the last Robin Hood movie was also an origin story except for some reason they cast loving almost 50 year old Russell Crowe? That's because that whole thing was thoroughly hosed with. When Scott was originally developing it with Crowe in mind, the script was called Nottingham, and the idea was that the Sheriff of Nottingham and Robin Hood were the same person. Scott and the studio got cold feet and it was re-tooled into a traditional story.

DC Murderverse posted:Good news everyone! That is pretty good news, as the initial reviews for Greatest Showman, while not good, do not indicate the absolute train-wreck I was hoping for given the subject matter. (Seriously, PT Barnum was a bastard who exemplified the worst parts of capitalism; he should not be lionized or promoted at all and yet here we are). General consensus seems to be that it's total bullshit, but as a pure visual spectacle it isn't bad; no real vitriolic takes, yet, although this one from Vox is pretty good: "Right now there's something especially uncomfortable about watching a character based on the father of entertainment spectaculars praising exaggeration, falsehood, and ignorance for its pure pleasure value, reality be damned." Hell, OK, here's another good 'un: "In a broader sense, the mishmash does recall the real Barnum, who once sewed half a fish to half an ape and called it a mermaid." Well, at least I'm not alone.

Taintrunner posted:90 minutes of tech CEOs and finance dickheads getting the guillotine one after the other? I'd watch it. In all honesty I would totally be down for a movie about Eisenhower set in the early fifties just so there could be discussion about a republican president signing a tax bill with a 91% tax rate on the highest bracket. Just force people to talk about Keynesian economics again.

I´ve also heard that at some point it was meant to be a medieval police procedural thing with Robin Hood as a sort of mythic figure that everyone talks about but would never be shown directly.

QuoProQuid posted:how many movies are already planned for the robin hood origins expanded universe? Lots, at first. When they first announced the movie it was going to be followed by 'origin' movies for the rest of the Merry Men and all the other characters but that quietly got dropped over time because I guess they realised that no one wants to see Friar Tuck: Origins. There was a discussion in the Justice League thread about whether the 'Marvel Method' had really changed the face of movie making and whether there were that many shared cinematic universes planned so I went and dug up a list and the RobinHoodiverse was one of them: Snowglobe of Doom posted:Well there's the Godzilla/King Kong Monsterverse, obviously. There's also the upcoming Hasbro-verse (G.I. Joe, Micronauts, Visionaries, M.A.S.K. and ROM: SpaceKnight), the X-Men extended cinematic universe (spinoffs including the Wolverine films and Deadpool, upcoming films including New Mutants and Gambit), The Transformers films (they've got a spinoff Bumblebee film coming up and you can bet there'll be more), an upcoming Hanna-Barbera shared cinematic universe (starting with a Scooby Doo reboot), American International (!!!!) were planning on relaunching themselves with a shared universe and Lionsgate's upcoming Robin Hood film starring Taron Egerton and Jamie Foxx was supposed to be followed up by 'origin' films of all the other characters including Friar Tuck but they seem to have dropped that idea. Halloween Jack posted:What was that British show where Marian ran the rebellion and Robin was a dopey mascot?

The Condorito movie already was released in Latin America iirc but will be here soon, it features a bird man and his nephew rescuing a potential mother-in-law from space aliens to try to impress her enough that he can marry her daughter. You know, a typical movie plot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE2eGfHI47c
