Russell Crowe’s movie Robin Hood is now available on HBO Max after some delays and changes. The story of Robin Hood, a famous hero from English legends, has been retold many times in movies and TV shows since the early 1900s. The 2010 film, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Russell Crowe, is one of the most well-known recent versions.
Fans of Robin Hood have plenty to look forward to! The 2010 film Robin Hood will be available on HBO Max starting February 1st. This follows the recent conclusion of the first season of the new Robin Hood series on MGM+ (December 28th), and comes ahead of the release of A24’s The Death of Robin Hood, featuring Hugh Jackman, later in the year.
Michael Sarnoski, known for directing films like Pig and A Quiet Place: Day One, wrote and directed The Death of Robin Hood, which features a cast including Sean Bean, Connie Nielsen, Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett, and Noah Jupe. While the series on MGM+ offers a traditional take on the Robin Hood story, Sarnoski’s The Death of Robin Hood promises a grimmer and more intense interpretation.
Ridley Scott directs this new take on the classic tale of Robin Hood, with a screenplay by Academy Award winner Brian Helgeland (known for L.A. Confidential). Starring Russell Crowe as Robin Longstride, the film takes place in 12th-century England and follows him and his group of outlaws as they fight against injustice in a small village, igniting a revolt that changes the country’s power structure.
The film boasts a remarkable cast, featuring Cate Blanchett as Marian Loxley, William Hurt as William Marshal, Mark Addy as Friar Tuck, Oscar Isaac as Prince John, Danny Huston as King Richard, Kevin Durand as Little John, Scott Grimes as Will Scarlet, Matthew Macfadyen as the Sheriff of Nottingham, Eileen Atkins as Eleanor of Aquitaine, Alan Doyle as Allan A’Dayle, and Léa Seydoux as Isabella of Angoulême.
When Robin Hood came out, reviews were mixed. It earned a 43% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with many critics praising the actors and exciting action sequences. However, they felt Ridley Scott’s new take on the classic story didn’t capture the same adventurous spirit that made the original Robin Hood so popular.
Okay, so Robin Hood actually pulled in a decent $322 million globally, but honestly, it was considered a flop. The problem wasn’t the total earnings, it was the cost to make it. With a budget somewhere between $155 and $237 million, it needed to earn around $387.5 to $592.5 million just to break even and be considered a success. As a movie fan, it’s always a bummer to see a big production struggle like that, even if it makes a lot of money on paper.
Okay, so revisiting Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood after all these years, I think it’s going to find a whole new audience on HBO Max. Let’s be real, with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett leading the charge, plus the enduring appeal of the Robin Hood story, it’s a pretty safe bet people will tune in. It’s a classic tale, and those big names still draw a crowd, even after 16 years.
