Hugh Jackman's The Death of Robin Hood ends its run as a massive box office bomb with less than $7 million worldwide against a reported $20 million budget.
Not to mention, reading the synopsis, it is apparently about Robin Hood dwelling on his actions in the past and regretting all the things he did or something to that effect. Who the fuck wants to see that movie? Especially in this day and age where the sheriff of Nottingham is the president and the closest thing to a Robin Hood we have in this world has just pleaded guilty and is about to be sentenced by a draconian system that is made to protect the rich at the expense of the poor.
Hearing your synopsis third-hand reminds me of the CollegeHumor skit “Nicolas Cage’s Agent” where one of the movie pitches is “To Kill A Mockingbird retold so that the black guy really did rape that woman”.
Edit: Now reading it for myself… yeah, same sentiment.
