RememberRobin Hood? He’s back, in Taron Egerton form. Every few years, Hollywood decides to retell the story ofRobin Hood, be it in the form of a cartoon fox or Kevin Costner. What more is there to add to the legend? While this film is set firmly in the past, directorOtto Bathurstis approaching it as a somewhat modern story.  “In my mind, Robin Hood was this sort of seriously militarized anarchist revolutionary, a freedom thinker and a truth seeker,” the filmmaker toldEW. “And the more I got into the story, it just became startling how utterly relevant it is to what’s going on in society now.”

I suppose that might work. At the very least, this newRobin Hoodhas a slick visual aesthetic going for it. It also has the presence of the always-dependableBen Mendelsohn(Rogue One, Ready Player One) as the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham. While I worry about the very talented Mendelsohn getting typecast as villains (he’s playing the villain inCaptain Marvelnext), I’m always glad to see him.

Jamie Foxx(Baby Driver, Collateral) is playing Little John, Robin Hood’s BFF, and in this version, mentor.The Knick’sEve Hewsonportrays Maid Marion.

I don’t really get aJohn Wickvibe from this trailer at all, but I guess we just have to wait for the movie itself.Robin Hoodarrives in theatersNovember 21, 2018.
