What’s the first thing one thinks about when it comes to Robin Hood? A dashing archer? A talking fox? A man in tights?
For centuries, the medieval hero was seen as just that: a hero. He was the legendary outlaw who stole from the rich and gave to the poor — and rebelled against tyranny. He led a merry band of outlaws and had a beautiful, noble ladylove. And for years, that’s how The Death of Robin Hood writer-director Michael Sarnoski saw him, too.
