Sarnoski Reimagines Robin Hood as a Haunted Outlaw with Hugh Jackman
TL;DR
Director Michael Sarnoski’s The Death of Robin Hood casts Hugh Jackman as a ruthless, aging Robin Hood in a mood-driven, medieval tragedy backed by a $20 million budget for A24; the film emphasizes atmosphere and character over big action, filming in Northern Ireland with a priory-set arc, and Sarnoski envisions a darker take inspired by Unforgiven and The Revenant, while hinting at a Death Stranding adaptation next.
