This is a real thing that is being made, an actual movie called Robin Hood: Origins. Millions of dollars, months of production, hundreds of participants. Grips, gaffers, caterers, people who put the sleeves on microphones, someone whose job is just to put little Xs on the ground in colored tape for blocking out all the scenes in Robin Hood: Origins. Multiple labor unions working in concert. Contract negotiations. It took multiple meetings on the topic of Robin Hood: Origins to create Robin Hood: Origins. Sets were created. Locations were rented. There was discussion: should we film in England or Maine? Georgia will give us a tax break, both the country and the state. A scriptwriter was hired, then more writers. Hours of tense discussion of particular lines of dialogue. Casting. Thousands auditioned for a chance to be in Robin Hood: Origins. There are people who will give up a major portion of their life to the creation of Robin Hood: Origins.

The film is titled Robin Hood: Origins, and it is real. It really exists. It will soon be consumable.

Kevin Costner turns up as Robin Hood's old mentor or ally of some kind, maybe he's a villain, it doesn't matter, the audience loves it. He was in that movie in the 90s. He was Robin Hood. Do you remember, Jacob? Do you remember the movie in the 90s? Is this a joke? Am I joking right now? Or is this actually a thing that will be in the movie? It could be. Maybe it's a joke but it is real. Maybe I know it's real, and I'm pretending it's a joke. Maybe I don't know it's real, but it will be real anyway. Maybe Kevin Costner said no. Maybe Kevin Costner contacted them and they said no. Maybe it wasn't Kevin Costner and actually it was Kevin Bacon and I just don't remember properly. Maybe Cary Elwes will show up. That would be fun, right? It could happen. Robin Hood: Origins is happening. They're making a film called Robin Hood: Origins. That's the part of the post that isn't a joke. That part is real.

It is ten years from now and you are purchasing Robin Hood: Origins at Wal-Mart. Why are you doing this? Why does Wal-Mart still sell movies? Does it make you happy, at least briefly? Will you even watch it? It feels good to make a purchase. It feels good to be able to make a purchase, and to be able to purchase Robin Hood: Origins in a Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack. Yes, they still pack the DVD in there. Nobody knows why. But they do it. There are special features. The cast and the director and the main scriptwriter are all together, and they are talking about the movie they made. The director likes a particular shot. The director likes the female lead. She was so good, so talented. Whatever happened to her? She had brown hair, and she was in her 20s, and she was pretty. She got old, and then she went away. That Kevin Costner cameo was so much fun, wasn't it?

Three Musketeers: Rise Of The Count Of Monte Cristo. Is that a real movie as well? Those are two different books, aren't they? How sure are you? How sure are you that they weren't in a shared universe? It was the same author, wasn't it? Do you know? Maybe it makes perfect sense, and maybe it's real, and maybe the following is real: ZORRO, a movie about Zorro, and it has a minimalist poster with the classic Z and it plays into America's economic frustrations. It could be real. Maybe it's not a joke, and maybe the Monte Cristo thing wasn't either. That could be true, because they're making a real film called Robin Hood: Origins.

Here's something I'm going to throw out there: There's going to be a montage where Robin Hood tries different kinds of hats, and bows, and he won't say "that's what I'm talking about" because he isn't black, but he'll probably smile grimly at the camera and be like "that's the one" in a way that reminds us that he's pretty casual about different kinds of bows, but his friend/assistant, who will be the smart one and basically Q from James Bond but in a Robin Hood way, will say something like "Get Equipped With Bubble Lead." Do you remember that? Do you remember that from the video game in the 90s? It would have come out near when Robin Hood: Rise Of Costner came out. Here's something else: they probably won't say "buck-and-a-quarter quarterstaff" in the movie Robin Hood: Origins, and that's a shame.

Chill la Chill: Don't lose your gay

I can't wait to see how Robin Hood meets Azeem, his Moorish best friend, in school. Turns out he was being bullied for having a different religion than everyone else and people would bully him for praying 5 times a day when it would interrupt class times. But Robin Hood stood up for him, fights the bullies, and makes an important speech in front of his peers saying perhaps their Gods aren't so different after all. Azeem swears a life-debt for this act, which later becomes useful as Robin tries to take back Nottingham castle from a corrupt Sheriff a la the "Dukes of Hazzard."

The film is mainly of Mel Brooks in a library with a huge pile of ancient books serious-library-sleuthing style, the books are all about middle english tales and yon legende of Robin Hoode, a long forgotten folk tale. "This will do, yes," he says.

Nobody wanted to see Robin Hood in his prime. People go to theaters to feel good. They want to see Robin Hood as a helpless infant, go home and write a funny post about it, like a cool thinkpiece about modern current millenial new media interpretations of what to do with a child's tale from centuries ago. I hear Male Cast Member is getting buff! Female gaze, anyone?

i didn't believe the title of this thread. but this is a real movie. i thought to myself, no way would jamie foxx ever play robin hood's trusty sidekick little john in a gritty reboot of the robin hood story. but i was wrong. its a real movie that is going to come out in 2017. no way would leonardo dicaprio help produce a movie that takes a beloved historical character and gives his story a modernization, but here we are.

IMDB says Origin is a gritty reboot which is confusing me because I thought all the movies were already the gritty origin story of Robin Hood

Victory Position

Hmm. I get it. So we get to meet Robin of Locksley, the lord of a small, but productive county in Britain. We get to see how he runs his town with a tough, but fair hand and gives King Richard his dues. Probably the best out of the lords, at that. Seeing Robin so courtly, so well-mannered? I guess that's new, but to see his fall would be the best part. We get to see him denigrated by the usurper King John, stripped of rank in a dramatic piece, and reduced to the rank of an outlaw. I suppose the Q-moments could come in the next movie, but I think he would be running for the most part.

Running away to get his revenge. Robin Hood: Origins 2 - The Merry Men of Sherwood.

yeah my bff introduced me to it and it was always been our go-to show to watch while chilling and getting high together

^ there will never be another Sheriff of Nottingham nearly as great as that one

also Will Scarlet being played by Ray Winstone was casting genius

actually p much all the regular characters were awesome, unfortunately the main actor gets replaced mid-show and the show suffers for it. oh and the synthy celtic soundtrack music by Clannad is top notch as well and compliments the pagan overtones of the show
