I can't help it... I'm really excited for this movie. Yeah, it's Robin Hood, AGAIN, blah blah blah... but we haven't had a really good Robin Hood movie in a long time. Prince of Thieves SHOULD have been that movie, but it's hard to say that it is when Robin was miscast and Little John got the shaft for a new character. Perhaps this new Robin Hood won't be any good but here's to hoping it is. There's plenty of talent in this thing and I like that it's a prequel/origin "Robin Begins" type of thing. The story of Robin Hood is too big to cram all into one movie.
I had a thought too... do you think that perhaps the reason that Mark Strong is playing Godfrey instead of Guy is because at the end of this film, we see a mysterious bounty hunter show up, looking for Robin... who will introduce himself as Guy of Gisbourne? I think that would be a cool way to hint at a sequel (and there have already been indications that they want to make one).
