Loose!

Friday, March 12th, 2010

If movies are like the main course at dinner, than a trailer is like those buttery rolls that you get as an appetizer. They taste great, but you’re done with them after only a few minutes, are still hungry and you’re in the bathroom thirty minutes later with the squirts. If that analogy didn’t get you pumped to watch the latest trailer for ROBIN HOOD than I just don’t get you man.

That was by far the best trailer yet for this movie. It actually showed us honest-to-goodness Robin Hood stuff instead of just rehashing the battles from BRAVEHEART. I wasn’t all that gung-ho for this movie, but this trailer has won me over a bit. Nice job trailer. I’d give you a cookie, but these are my damn cookies!

As you are probably aware, there is a new ROBIN HOOD movie coming out by Ridley Scott and starring Russell Crowe as Robin. To make you hungry for more chainmail, the studio has released a trailer. You may enjoy it by going to this link.

That trailer was solid even though it really only showed two battles, but cut in such a way as to make it seem like twenty. The talent involved is good, but I just don’t know if I can get psyched for another ROBIN HOOD movie. I still say they should have kept this a movie about the Sheriff of Nottingham, which would have been cooler. Oh well, maybe someday.

Robin Hood: Men In The Future.

According to Risky Biz Blog, a company called Atlas Entertainment and another company called Hollywood Gang are going to be tag-teaming a new movie about Robin Hood…in the future. The movie takes part in a post-apocalyptic London, where some thieves help restore the cities hope in humanity or whatever (as stealing from others often does).

Nicolai Fuglsig, whose name I can’t pronounce, pitched the movie to the suits and will direct.

I’ll have to know a little bit more about this movie before I get interested, but at least it isn’t the same Robin Hood movie we’ve already seen a million times. I really hope Robin doesn’t use a bow in the future or if he does, they at least explain why he chose the Edsel of the weaponry world. Honestly, is there anything stupider than seeing a modern action hero wielding a bow-and-arrow while everyone around him/her is using semi-automatic machine guns? The only exception is Rambo since he only started using a bow in FIRST BLOOD: PART II because he forgot the silencer for his gun, and it became a kind of trademark thing afterward. Everyone else; it doesn’t make you look cool or retro, it makes you look like a gimmick. Don’t be that guy.
