Michael Ross rewriting futuristic ROBIN HOOD take for Warner Bros.

Michael Ross has been hired to rewrite the futuristic Robin Hood take for Warner Bros. Deadline reports that the film has commercials director Nicolai Fuglsig attached to helm. Charles Roven, Richard Suckle and Gianni Nunnari are set to produce the film. The initial draft was penned by Jason Dean Hall. The story is "set in dystopian London, and the band whose brazen thievery restores hope in the beleaguered population."

This sounds like a pretty cool concept. I have loved the traditional takes on this classic character, but I like the change to the future setting, What are your thoughts on this news?
