First trailer for “ROBIN HOOD: GHOSTS OF SHERWOOD”

Forget Russell Crowe—we’re more interested in seeing what a Robin Hood movie featuring Tom Savini and Kane Hodder looks like. And now that a teaser trailer for ROBIN HOOD: GHOSTS OF SHERWOOD has hit the web, we have a taste.
Savini is the Sheriff of Nottingham and Kane Hodder is Little John in GHOSTS OF SHERWOOD, a 3D feature directed by Oliver Krekel. The film also stars Tom Paladin Bareck as Robin, Carolina Grigorov as Maid Marian, Kai Borchardt as Friar Tuck and Martin Hentschel as Will Scarlett, in a scenario that has the undead Merry Men haunting the titular forest. Check out some exclusive pics from the movie here and here, and see its Facebook page here.

Good timing with Sherwood Forest being in the news today and the Robin Hood Festival being saved yesterday J.  It actually looks like Sherwood in the trailer too and I’m impressed by the way it goes back to the semi-pagan outlay of the 80’s TV series

Council’s U-turn on future of parks (Robin Hood Festival)

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE County Council has decided to continue running its Robin Hood Festival and keep a number of specialist park ranger posts open after complaints from the public.

The county council planned to put an end to the festival and make some park rangers redundant to save money in next year’s budget.

But a spokesperson said the council has done a U-turn and revised its savings to the country park service after listening to comments from the public.

The council has to make savings of £187m over the next four years.

The original proposal which identified savings of 47 per cent, has been reviewed by the council and revised to provide a further £200,000, reducing the savings to 34 per cent.

Comments came from a public consultation.
