Robin Hood 'origin movie' takes aim with Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx

'Robin Hood', starring Taron Egerton, opens at cinemas nationwide on Nov 22.

Guy Ritchie attempted to breathe new life into the King Arthur story last year with King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword. It turned out to be a bad idea.

Now, Otto Bathurst, whose previous work includes directing episodes of TV series Peaky Blinders and Black Mirror, is injecting some grittiness to the Robin Hood tale with a feature film titled simply, Robin Hood.
