‘The Death of Robin Hood’ Trailer – Hugh Jackman Brings the Legendary Outlaw to Life
The legend of Robin Hood was a lie, according to the trailer for The Death of Robin Hood.
The dark reimagining of the classic folk tale is written and directed by Michael Sarnoski (A Quiet Place: Day One, Pig).
Hugh Jackman stars as the titular outlaw, channeling an energy reminiscent of Logan as he confronts his own morality.
Grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, Robin Hood finds himself gravely injured after a battle he thought would be his last. In the hands of a mysterious woman, he is offered a chance at salvation.
Jodie Comer (28 Years Later), Bill Skarsgård (IT), Murray Bartlett (“The White Lotus”), and Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place) round out the cast.
“There’s an old quote about Robin that sort of says he’s this murderous bandit who the common folk have decided to glorify,” Sarnoski previously stated. “And I wanted to examine someone who was going through that in their lifetime, and trying to grapple with the role of storytelling and their actual identity.”
Aaron Ryder & Andrew Swett of Ryder Picture Company produce alongside Alexander Black of Lyrical Media. Executive producers include Jackman, Sarnoski, Jon Rosenberg, Natalie Sellers, and Rama Gottumukkala.
A release date has not yet been set, but The Death of Robin Hood is due out in theaters this year from A24.
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
