The Uprising distributor denies it's a Robin Hood movie in one of the year's oddest controversies

Andrew Garfield as Robin Hood in The Uprising.

Just days after US marketing revealed Andrew Garfield’s upcoming historical drama The Uprising as a Robin Hood movie, its UK distributor has denied any connection.

This took everyone by surprise as the movie has not revealed any connection with the outlaw thus far. In fact, the film is actually set during the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381. However, in search of clarification, Metro reached out to the film's UK distributor, Entertainment Film Distributors, who denied that the film was a Robin Hood movie.
