Short description

Robin of Loxley returns from fighting in the Crusades to find Nottingham and the wider kingdom in the grip of corruption, with the wealthy living in luxury while ordinary people struggle. Teaming up with Yahya, a Moorish commander he meets abroad, Robin takes on the Sheriff of Nottingham and the powerful interests behind him. He gathers a band of outlaws, adopts a hidden identity to move between two worlds, and becomes a wanted man as the authorities strike back. Marian, whom he left behind, is now involved with Will Scarlet, and Friar Tuck is among those drawn into the cause. The story is an origin tale, showing how Robin and his companions came together and how the gang of Sherwood took shape.

The film is directed by Otto Bathurst from a screenplay by David James Kelly and Ben Chandler, and was produced with Leonardo DiCaprio among its producers. Taron Egerton plays Robin, with Jamie Foxx as Yahya, Ben Mendelsohn as the Sheriff, Eve Hewson as Marian, Jamie Dornan as Will Scarlet and Tim Minchin as Friar Tuck.

Released in late 2018, the production carried a budget of about 100 million dollars and returned roughly 86 million worldwide. On IMDb it holds 5.4 from around 86,000 votes, while on TMDB it stands at 5.9 from a few thousand. A film critics' rating of 3.9 from 166 reviews sits below both audience scores.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film's artists were instructed to make all the props one-third historically authentic, one-third modern, and one-third futuristic, hence the unique impression the film leaves on viewers.
  • A few days before the end of filming in Budapest, a fire destroyed the set, so the remaining scenes had to be reshot in Paris.
  • The scenes in Nottingham were filmed in the old part of Dubrovnik, Croatia. It was also the filming location for some episodes of "Game of Thrones" (2011) and scenes from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" (J.J. Abrams, 2015).
  • As Taron Egerton later revealed, he does not appear in any scenes riding a horse because he did not film any scenes in the saddle, as he is afraid of horseback riding.
  • Nearly 95% of all the costumes used in the film were handmade by Julian Day and his team.
  • Filming had to be postponed because Taron Egerton was filming "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" (Matthew Vaughn, 2017). Director Otto Bathurst wanted to cast Egerton so much that he even agreed to postpone filming to a later date.
  • To teach the actors archery, they hired artist and archer Lars Andersen. Andersen became famous for a YouTube video demonstrating his incredible archery skills, after which he was nicknamed "The Real Legolas." Robin uses Andersen's technique in this film.
