Bill Skarsgård Joins Hugh Jackman in THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD
Bill Skarsgård (Nosferatu), Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus), and Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place) have joined Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer in the upcoming film project The Death of Robin Hood.
The movie comes from writer and director Michael Sarnoski (Pig, A Quiet Place: Day One), and it’s set up at A24. With the talent that’s come on board for this project, it’s shaping up to be something interesting.
The story follows “a battle-worn loner, grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, who finds himself gravely injured and in the hands of a mysterious woman, who offers him a chance at salvation.”
The director of the film said: “It has been an incredible opportunity to reinvent and freshly innovate the story we all know of Robin Hood.”
He added: “Securing the perfect cast to transform the script to screen was essential. I could not be more thrilled and trusting in Hugh and Jodie to bring this story to life in a powerful and meaningful way.”
Producer Alexander Black said in a statement: “We are thrilled to be part of this very special project and to be working with a visionary director in Michael, a phenomenal cast in Hugh and Jodie, and producing with our frequent collaborators, Ryder and Swett at RPC.”
Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett of RPC added: “This is not the story of Robin Hood we’ve all come to know. Instead, Michael has crafted something far more grounded and visceral.”
He continued: “Thanks to Alexander Black and our friends at Lyrical along with Rama and Michael, the world is going to love seeing Hugh and Jodie together in this epic.”
Production begins in Ireland this week.
