Please Stop With Robin Hood Movies, Hollywood

Please Stop With Robin Hood Movies, Hollywood

The movie theater offerings, for the most part, did not disappoint this past holiday weekend. Thanks to high-performing movies like Ralph Breaks the Internet and Creed II, this was one of the highest grossing Thanksgiving weekends in recent memory. However, amid all the positive buzz, you may have completely missed that fact that the new Robin Hood opened this weekend as well. The movie was dead on arrival, barely sending out a pulse to audiences. So, Hollywood, can we please finally admit that it's time to stop with the Robin Hood movies?

The latest version of the classic Robin Hood tale, creatively called Robin Hood, is a reimagined take for modern audiences. The film follows Robin (Taron Egerton), a wealthy nobleman who returns to England from fighting in the Crusades only to learn that the people live under the oppression (and taxes) of the king and his enforcer, the Sheriff of Nottingham (Ben Mendelsohn). With the help of Little John (Jamie Foxx), Robin forms a group of merry men to steal from the rich, give to the poor, and win the heart of Maid Marian (Eve Hewson).

Sound familiar? It should because that's the same plot that almost every Robin Hood movie ever made has followed. Any moviegoer or person on the street can probably lay out the basics of Robin Hood without thinking too much about it. Is it any surprise that people felt like they could afford to sit out another Robin Hood movie?

Robin Hood had a rough Thanksgiving, grossing $23.2 million worldwide on a budget of $100 million. It's still early in the game, but that's a steep climb just for the blockbuster to break even. This seems to indicate that people just weren't interested in a new version of Robin Hood, a story that has hit some real diminishing returns ever since its days in Golden Age Hollywood.

Robin Hood has a long history in Hollywood and foreign studios. The character has been adapted into no less than 50 films over the last century, and that's not even including the dozens of TV appearances of Robin Hood. It's the well that just keeps giving, and whole generations of families have grown up surrounded by various Robin Hood stories.

The first Robin Hood movie dates all the way back to 1908. Dubbed Robin Hood and His Merry Men, it was a silent film, and the first appearance of Robin Hood onscreen. Since then the character has appeared in some form or fashion at least 10 times a decade. The history of Robin Hood in film is actually quite fascinating, but whatever made those early projects catch on has long since dwindled.

For one thing, the myth of Robin Hood doesn't spark the imagination quite like it must have done in the early days of film. The story of Robin Hood is good, swashbuckling fun which appealed to an audience that was still new to movies on the big screen. However, you can only eat a giant cookie for so long before it starts to make you sick.

I will say, though, that the benefit of having all these different adaptations is that it forces filmmakers to get creative with the source material. There are Robin Hood films set in space, the future, and modern times. Some feature Marian as the lead or Robin Hood's daughter taking up the mantle. These movies cover a wide swath of genres like drama, fantasy, adventure, action, and comedy. Even the latest Robin Hood was packaged as an action-oriented blockbuster with a superhero slant.

But even the most significant deviations doesn't change the fact that this is still the same basic formula and people can guess what happens at the end of most Robin Hood films. When you can predict the basic plot points of any given movie before even seeing any footage, that's not a great sign.

That familiarity is a big reason there are so many Robin Hood movies in the first place. Robin Hood is public domain so that anyone can make a movie or TV series about him. So, that's free intellectual property that most everyone is familiar with, meaning there's less legwork for a studio to explain the character or plot. That's also why there are so many King Arthur, Peter Pan, and Dracula movies.

The new Robin Hood gets some brownie points for trying to be different. The Sheriff of Nottingham is revealed to be at the center of a convoluted conspiracy involving the Crusades, and a new sheriff takes over by the end. However, that still wasn't quite enough of a difference to make this attractive.

Despite a decades-long run in Hollywood, it doesn't bode well that only about six or seven of these films are memorable. Errol Flynn's The Adventures of Robin Hood from the thirties is said to be the best Robin Hood movie, but what does that say that no other movie about the same thing has been better in 100 years? (Costner fans, insert gripes here.)

Other memorable Robin Hood movies include Robin and Marian, a revisionist take starring Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn as older versions of the title characters; Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves starring Kevin Costner, which had bright spots but was ultimately the beginning of the descent for modern Robin Hood movies; Disney's animated Robin Hood with the fox that the internet has a crush on; and, of course, Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

It doesn't seem like Hollywood is quite ready to learn a lesson from the underperformance of the new Robin Hood. A few different projects are rumored to be in development. The Wachowski siblings are reportedly writing and directing a modern adaptation called Hood, while Disney is working on Nottingham and Hood, which is supposedly intended to be a new adventure film franchise in the vein of Pirates of the Caribbean.

There was also at one point discussions from Sony about a Robin Hood cinematic universe, with characters getting their own spin-off films. That is such a colossally bad idea that it tells you how badly the studio was trying to get into the shared universe trend. People are really going to flock to the theaters to see Friar Tuck: Not So Merry, Man.

Ultimately, there's a reason that this story keeps being retold, and there will be more movies. I'm just saying, give people a break. The previous Robin Hood movie (also called Robin Hood) was in 2010, and even an eight-year gap wasn't enough space to get people to care. Can we go a full decade without a Robin Hood movie? THEN let's see how we feel about that Friar Tuck movie.

How The DCEU Might Be Planning To Introduce Batgirl

How The DCEU Might Be Planning To Introduce Batgirl

Of the numerous movies in development for the DC Extended Universe, a fair number of them are connected to the Batman mythos, including Batgirl. So far Barbara Gordon has only appeared in one live action movie, 1997's Batman & Robin, and I don't need to tell you how that movie was received. So it's safe to say that a Batgirl movie would likely provide a much better representation of the character, and with the superhero movie genre more popular than ever, now's a great time to finally shine the spotlight on the heroine. However, rumor has it that before she headlines a standalone adventure, Batgirl will be introduced to the DCEU in Birds of Prey.

Earlier today, it was reported that Cathy Yan is in talks to direct the Birds of Prey movie, which was announced in November 2016, written by Christina Hodson and will either start shooting late this year and early next year. According to Variety writer Justin Kroll, the reason that DC and Warner Bros want to fast-track Birds of Prey over Suicide Squad 2 (which was previously rumored to begin production in the latter half of 2018) isn't just because of Hodson's script, but because they're interested in bringing in Batgirl sooner rather than later. It's similar to how T'Challa, a.k.a. Black Panther, was introduced to the MCU in Captain America: Civil War and then starred in the Black Panther movie almost two full years later.

It's worth taking this information with a grain of salt, but if Birds of Prey does officially enter production sometime within the next 12 months, then it would make sense to feature Batgirl in it. Along with being one of Batman's most trusted allies in Gotham City, whether she's suited up as Batgirl or behind a computer screen as Oracle, Barbara Gordon is also one of the founding members of the Birds of Prey, with Black Canary and Huntress rounding out the main trio. Batgirl is popular enough that a lot of people unfamiliar with the comics are probably aware of her existence, but it would be interesting for see her fighting alongside other heroines for her first DCEU appearance. Once that introduction is out of the way, then we can follow along with Barbara Gordon as she battles the forces of evil on her own.

No plot details for Birds of Prey have but it will also feature Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, though it's unclear if Joker's squeeze will work with the starring heroes or team up with them. As for Batgirl, her standalone movie was announced in March of 2017, and originally Joss Whedon was attached to write and direct. However, after a year, Whedon was unable to formulate a good story, so he departed the project. Christina Hodson is now writing a new Batgirl script, but a replacement director hasn't been found yet.

Keep checking back with CinemaBlend for the latest updates regarding Batgirl's cinematic future. If you're interested in learning what other projects are in development for the DCEU, look through our DC movies guide.
