“You are a crusader. Now you have to be a warrior. You wanted to steal? Now is your time,” Little John tells Robin Hood in the first teaser trailer for Lionsgate’s upcoming action-adventure film “Robin Hood”.

Taron Egerton is playing the legendary archer, following the footsteps of Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner, and Russell Crowe.

It seem to be a gritty version, though based on this trailer, is not as serious as Ridley Scott’s war epic drama, which was released in 2010. There looks to be a few modern twists to it. In fact some of the action scenes conjures the kind of visuals from Egerton’s blockbuster “Kingsman” franchise.

The story of course is legendary. Robin is stealing from the rich, and seeks the help of Little John (played by Jamie Foxx) to spark a revolt against corrupt powers that be. Ben Mendelsohn (Ready Player One, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), is the film’s villain, playing the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Directed by Otto Bathurst from the screenplay by Ben Chandler and David James Kelly, the film also features Eve Hewson as Maid Marian, Jamie Dornan as Will and Scarlet, Tim Minchin as Friar Tuck.

Robin Hood is set for release on November 23, 2018.

There is certainly no shortage of Stephen King film and tv series adaptation especially after the success of last year’s “It” as a new psychological-horror drama series “Castle Rock” gets a new trailer today.

From mega producer J. J. Abrams, the spooky new trailer features some of the cast entangled in a mystery that beset the eponymous town, along with footage of an alligator, creepy mask man, and suicidal characters.

“Everyone’s got a theory about how it started, about Castle Rock’s original sin,” narrates Terry O’Quinn’s character Dale Lacy. “There’s blood in every backyard, inside every house. People say ‘It wasn’t me, it was this place.’ And the thing is, they’re right.”

Also in the series are André Holland, Melanie Lynskey, Bill Skarsgård (Pennywise from It), Sissy Spacek and Jane Levy .

Here is the show’s synopsis:

A psychological-horror series set in the Stephen King multiverse, Castle Rock combines the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of King’s best-loved works, weaving an epic saga of darkness and light, played out on a few square miles of Maine woodland. The fictional Maine town of Castle Rock has figured prominently in King’s literary career: Cujo, The Dark Half, IT and Needful Things, as well as novella The Body and numerous short stories such as Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption are either set there or contain references to Castle Rock. Castle Rock is an original suspense/thriller — a first-of-its-kind reimagining that explores the themes and worlds uniting the entire King canon, while brushing up against some of his most iconic and beloved stories.

Hulu has slotted the premiere of “Castle Rock” to July 25.

The Orchard

“What saves a man is to take a step.”

The new documentary from Encompass Films recently screened at Austin Film Festival where it won “2017 Hiscox Courage Award.” The documentary is the first feature film from its director Dominic Gill, who founded the production company with wife Nadia Gill.

The documentary follows former Motocross athlete Aaron Baker’s journey, the motocross accident that left him paralyzed, and the subsequent 15-year struggle to regain movement.

The filmmakers describe “Coming To My Senses” as “portrait of movement, how it relates to our goals and dreams, and how it changes our motivations and perspectives.”

Here’s the documentary’s synopsis:

In 1999 Aaron Baker broke his neck in a motocross accident, leaving him completely paralyzed from the neck down. Despite doctor’s grim prognosis, over the next 16 years Aaron decided not to listen to those who said ‘he had a million-to-one odds of ever feeding himself again’ and instead, through painstaking effort, endeavored to regain as much mobility as possible. This journey through the unknown took him from the depths of depression to the joys of cross country road tripping via tandem bicycle with his mother and friends, and finally, culminating in his opening a socially conscious low-cost gym focused on increasing mobility for the disabled.

Now, in Coming To My Senses, we watch as Aaron takes one final journey which symbolizes his recovery: crossing a 20-mile tract of Death Valley unsupported on foot. But will he make it?

“Coming To My Senses” is set for EST distribution on May 15 followed by VOD on May 22 .
