Hood

Four. That is the now the number of Robin Hood movies in the works at various studios. How many different versions of this story do we need? Four is apparently the answer, so get ready for Sherwood Forest fatigue (or you could just go to a Ren Faire). The newest Robin Hood film has been set up at Warner Bros., although the studio hasn’t revealed what their take on the property is just yet, so it could be a gritty reimagining or an animated film or sock puppets.

Just say the words "Avengers" and "Marvel-style movie universe" in a pitch and you've got yourself a deal. Now Robin Hood is getting his very own movie universe because when you think major action hero, you think Robin Hood. And dollar signs. Don't forget the dollar signs -- because in this new movie landscape, Robin Hood takes from the audiences and gives to the studios.
