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.
Earlier this week, Focus Features started to share promotional material for The Uprising with the byline 'Witness the Rise of Robin Hood, ' seemingly out of the blue. 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.
