You might make money but you are taking this piss out of an English folklore.
+1. Its a legend/ folklore. But I can guarantee Little John would not have been black. There were no blacks in England!
In the BBC they had a fit Black actor playing Friar Tuck. Because they wouldn't want to offend fat people.
Um, actually there were black people in places like Suffolk that date back to the 1100s.
When was the last time a decent Robin Hood film was made? I suppose it's all opinion, For me maybe Robin and Marion with Sean.
Robin Hood is such an iconic character I was baffled when the Russel Crowe version came out as I had to actually explain to someone who Robin Hood was. I sarcastically asked them if they never heard of James Bond or Sherlock Holmes either. It's so trendy to update iconic characters to the point they're unrecognizable in fear the classic representations won't appeal to current audiences. I hope this doesn't one day happen to Bond.
Yeah. Maybe at least long enough until characters like Robin Hood start to be appreciated and represented in their original forms as opposed to updated.
Exactly...after this weird looking film,i think Robin Hood would have no interest to the viewing public...getting like Simon Templar on the big screen...wasted.
History is vague on this. Yes as far back as the Romans and Vikings they had black slaves. But first official records are way beyond medieval times. I'm not convinced the population in the midlands was very high, especially free men.
It needs to be well done. Robin Hood should have his own thread here.
I've just made one....all Robin Hood chat has a new thread peeps.
Oh, the population most certainly wasn't high but there were still blacks around. There were definitely slaves as well as merchents/travellers but a lot more blacks were mostly running around other parts of Europe during medieval times than they were in England.
Unfortunately, his recent portrayals of other franchise characters, such as Superman and particularly Napoleon Solo will probably preclude him from the role.
Please, no. He s a great Dr Strange. Let him stick to that.
If indeed the story is true that Babs thought Hugh was too "Fey" for the role, I feel it was a significant lapse in judgement.
The "too fey" comment was probably true and it was the same criticism he got from the fan boys when he was first cast as Wolverine, a part he went on to be fantastic in.
