Robin Hood movie description:
Robin Hood’s adventures will introduce us to the life chronicles of an experienced archer who originally had his own instinct of self-preservation while serving in King Richard’s army fighting against the French. After Richard’s death Robin goes to Nottingaham, the city suffering from a corrupt despot sheriff who tortured people with high taxes, where he falls in love with an energetic widow Lady Marion who was rather skeptical about Robin’s desire to arrange a public campaign against the wealthy rulers of the city. Hoping to conquer Lady Marion and save the village, Robin gathers a team of mercenaries with deadly skills. Together they begin to hunt the upper class representatives to eliminate injustice which makes simple peasant suffer.
However, Robin Hood and his team get into a great adventure. Their country, weakened by long wars and being in the state of constant war awareness because of the new king poor governance, becomes vulnerable to riots from within and to treats from far. It is impossible to predict where the new heroes will have to go to prevent their country from being drawn into the bloody civil war and return the former glory to England.
“Robin Hood” is the movie by Ridley Scott based on the Robin Hood legends with Russle Crow in the main role. The film release is scheduled for May 14, 2010. Work on the movie begain in 2007 when Universal bought the script called “Nottingham” which told about heroic Sheriff of Nottingham, who was supposed to be Crow. Scott did not like the script which lead to delay in filming and during 2008 it was re-written in the story of Robin Hood who became a criminal preserving the role of the sheriff as a part of the story. “Nottingham” was renamed to make the movie name look more traditional.
