James Bond’s Naomie Harris and Game of Thrones’ Gwendoline Christie are starring in a new Robin Hood movie, Robin and the Hood.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Harris and Christie have joined the cast of Robin and the Hood, a new family adventure movie searching for a buyer at the American Film Market.
Joining Harris and Christie in Robin and the Hood is Mark Williams, who played Arthur Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise, and Darcey Ewart. Directing Robin and the Hood is Phil Hawkins, who previously made Prancer: A Christmas Tale (which starred Ewart alongside James Cromwell) in 2022.
What is Robin and the Hood about?
“Robin and the Hood follows the tenacious 11-year-old Robin (Ewart) and her loyal band of friends, called The Hoods, for whom the patch of overgrown scrubland at the end of their cul-de-sac is a magical kingdom,” the synopsis reads. “Sticks and bin lids have become swords and shields, drones have become majestic eagles, and the hippy lady in the forest (Christie) is a terrifying witch. The only thing limiting their colorful imagination is the prospect of losing their kingdom forever. When the slippery property developer Clipboard (Harris) turns up and dazzles the parents of the area with promises of health spas and day-care facilities, Robin and The Hoods’ world is faced with an existential threat. Despite the children’s best efforts, their protests fall on deaf ears. When their parents can’t see the wood for the trees, Robin and her friends take matters into their own hands to defend their kingdom.”
Robin and the Hood is written by Stuart Benson and Paul Davidson, while Claudia Bluemhuber and Matt Williams serve as producers. Executive producers include Alexander Jooss, Florian Dargel, Karol Griffiths, Julia Stuart, and Andrew Orr.
Bluemhuber said, “We were excited about Stuart and Paul’s script from the moment we encountered it – Robin and the Hood is a story with a big heart and plenty of laughter, which reminds us of the power and importance of imagination in a world that is swiftly losing it. Landing the fantastic (quartet) of Naomie, Mark, Gwendoline, and Darcey to lead our cast is a brilliant coup, and we’re thrilled that Sky, Future Artists, and GFM are joining us on this adventure!”
