Disney+ is in the early development stage of a live-action/CG hybrid remake to the 1976 animated classic Robin Hood. The studio is bringing back Kari Granlund, who penned the Lady and the Tramp remake, to write the screenplay for Blindspotting helmer Carlos Lopez Estrada to direct. Justin Springer, who produced the recent Dumbo remake, is producing […]
Watched Robin Hood tonight. It’s (still) madder than a dolphin sandwich, but fun with it. Also, I really like that it was Marian who got to run around kicking arses while Robin was stuck dangling above a snake-pit. Nice bit of role-reversal.
The less said about the ‘casino’ in next week’s trailer the better, though…
This was definately the best episode yet, I thought. Helen Raynor’s one, right? And she’s writing for Who next year, so hopefully that’ll be just as good.
I think Owen lost some of his arseholeness in this episode? Seeing a girl be raped and murdered practically in front of him might well have made him realise that some of the stuff he’d done wasn’t a million miles from that- maybe he saw a bit of himself in the murderer, hence all the angst and rage. I can’t exactly like him, but he’s interesting.
I like Gwen, though. She’s a bit like Rose but without the selfishness, and I can picture myself reacting muchly the same way as her in some of the situations she ends up in.
Her boyfriend is adorable too. I hope he ends up with more to do later on.
Jack is…hmmm, he didn’t have that much to do this time around. Except now he can’t die and can’t sleep. What’s next? ;)
Robin Hood-
Confession time: although I am enjoying Torchwood, I’m actually enjoying this more! It’s more…fun. Or something. The dialogue could improve, but most of the things the first episode got wrong are pretty much fixed now (acting’s better, directing’s better…) so it might be time to tune back in again if you turned the first episode off. ;)
Anyway, I thought episode four was very good. It didn’t take the obvious route (most shows would have had it be a comedy episode -a bunch of blokes trying to look after a baby), there was a fair amount of character development, and there was an ending I geniunely didn’t see coming. And many attractive people, occasionally with their shirts off.
It has also just occured to me the double meaning of the episode title: ‘Parent Hood’ obviously refers to Robin, but it just as easily applies to Roy’s mother as well. Sigh. I hope she shows up again, come to think of it…
So…there. :p Must make icons for this shiny new show…
By the way, I bought a £75 jumper today. The most I’ve ever spent on a single item of clothing. But it is a very nice jumper.
