Regina Mills and Robin Hood get to live happily ever after. It just isn't the Regina and Robin that most Once Upon a Time fans have grown to love. In "Page 23" Regina redeemed her literal evil clone, the Evil Queen, and sent her away to the Wish Land where she finally walked into a pub with Robin Hood. The implication was clear, the Evil Queen and Robin of Locksley are going to get the happy ending that Regina was denied with her Robin Hood. It is a sweet ending for the character but it might not be one she deserves. Like most things with the Evil Queen in Once Upon a Time season 6, the conclusion was sort of a mess.

Robin of Locksley, you've got some explaining to do. In what's becoming one of the greatest "be careful what you wish for" parables in Once Upon a Time's history, it's becoming abundantly clear that the man Regina (Lana Parrilla) brought back with her from the wish realm is nothing like her true love, Robin Hood (Sean Maguire). Sure, he may look identical to the fallen hero, but what with the stealing of hearts from Regina's tomb last week and his suspicious behavior in this sneak peek of Sunday's new episode, exclusive to E! News, Regina might want to look into finding a way to send this guy back from where he came. Where's Aladdin's genie lamp when a girl needs it?! ...

Since his untimely death at the end of season 5, Once Upon a Time fans have clamored for Robin Hood to return to the show. Though the original Robin is still very much dead, Robin of Locksley is alive, well and just a tad bit of a jerk. The Robin that Regina brought back from the Wish Land in "Tougher than the Rest" is a drastic departure from the (second) love of her life but this is only a good thing. In what was a very risky situation, Once Upon a Time managed to revive Robin Hood in the best way imaginable.

Casting is a hugely important part of the filmmaking process. Unfortunately, sometimes Hollywood gets it very wrong. When the wrong person gets the part, it can spoil the whole movie. Here are eight instances where bad casting damaged a big movie.
Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequel trilogy: This bit of bad casting not only ruined a film, it wrecked three films. While the Star Wars prequels had numerous problems, the worst was the portrayal of iconic villain Darth Vader—Aka Anakin Skywalker—as a sulky, petulant teenager. Christensen’s bland performance made the problem 10-times worse. How do you follow the voice of James Earl Jones with the whiny voice of Christensen? He also had no chemistry at all with his co-star and love-interest Natalie Portman, who played Queen Amidala.
Jack Black as Carl Denham in King Kong (2005): Jack Black didn’t know what movie he was in here.

Recently Paramount and Hasbro announced that they’d be creating a “shared cinematic universe” for several of their toy properties, including G.I. Joe, Micronauts, M.A.S.K., Rom and Visionaries. On one hand this is a reaction to the disappointing G.I. Joe movie franchise, but on the other hand it’s another example of the business world learning lessons from Geek Culture. Call it a shared universe, team-up or a crossover – passionate superfans know and understand the power of this narrative tool.
In the early days of comics, two separate (but related) comic companies, All-American Comics and National Comics joined forces in a sort of Nerd-Glasnost to combine several of their second tier characters into one big adventure. The publication All-Star Comics showcased a club of super-heroes called the Justice Society of America. The concept took hold and captured the imaginations of fans with a tenacity that resonates to this day.

A further Robin Hood origin story is in development, and Leonardo DiCaprio is involved...
In what amounts to the third competing attempt to revive the adventures of Robin Hood into a new post-Avengers world, Leonardo DiCaprio and Joby Harold have joined forces to bring new life to the Princes of Thieves and his merry men. Sherwood Forest is getting awfully crowded these days…
As first broken by The Tracking Board, DiCaprio’s Appian Way production company is teaming with Harold’s Safehouse Pictures production company to produce a spec script Harold has entitled Robin Hood: Origins. As you might expect, it is a new detailed origin story for the bandit of Sherwood that with its current title is just begging for franchising capabilities.

Throughout the vast history of cinema the profession of law enforcement has been portrayed heavily and made its mark on the big screen in both dramatic and comical fodder. Whether it be straight up cops and robbers or crooked officers on the take in gangster flicks or ant-hero gun-slinging loners trying to buck the system the presence of crime-busting cads never fail to add compelling, if not at times over-exaggerated, insight into the world of law-enforcing personalities.
The one element of the law-enforcing community that seems somewhat limited but still registers mightily in some cinematic arenas is the concept of the sheriff. Sheriffs do cast a prominent shadow in all sorts of fields in the movies: westerns, medieval times, contemporary country car-chasing farces and even some urban melodramas.

After many years and almost as many takes on the Robin Hood character, you might be forgiven for thinking that there is nothing new to say about the man. But Sony disagrees, putting the finishing touches on a deal to buy a new pitch set in his world, simply called Hood.Cory Goodman and Jeremy Lott are the writers behind what is, by our count, the 730rd take on the tale of the outlaw Robin of Locksley, his Merry Men and Maid Marian. The exact details of what the new script will do to or say about the legend are being kept quiet beyond the idea that it'll be the start of an action franchise and – of course! – a potential shared universe of Merry Men movies. But it was compelling enough to ignite a bidding war that also saw Working Title and Paramount looking to buy it up.Sony ended...

An eagle-eyed Redditor who goes by the name of NoMoreHodoring noticed there was something familiar about one of the swords embedded in the Iron Throne on HBO's 'Game of Thrones.' A quick perusal of their 'Lord of the Rings' films confirmed it. Somehow Gandalf's sword Glamdring ended up in the twisted wreck that is the Iron Throne. Right down to the blue gemstone. What does it mean?! Are Westeros and Middle Earth the same place? Did Gandalf side with Rhaegar in the uprising? Is Westeros the fifth or seventh Age of Man? Is Gandalf the white or the grey? So Many Questions. Of course the reality is the prop designers either grabbed a handful of whatever swords were available for welding or stuck this in as an Easter egg because you gotta have fun at work no matter where you're employed. My money's on the latter though because it gets even weirder.

I probably should have noticed this a long time ago, but it’s starting to dawn on me the CW has pretty much lost all interest in original ideas. If you’ve been following the current development cycle, you likely noticed the majority of the projects the younger-skewing network has been looking at are all based on well known intellectual properties: a Wonder Woman origin story, a contemporary take on Alice in Wonderland, and a Sleepy Hollow reboot. And what was the latest contender to enter the development arena? A script based on the legendary Robin Hood. My enthusiasm for this idea has not been roused.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the CW gave a script commitment for their Robin Hood project, called Sherwood, with Tze Chun on writing duties. It will be set in 1072 England and follow a noblewoman as she attempts to free her serf boyfriend, who was wrongfully imprisoned by Norman occupiers.

While seeking assistance from the legendary Robin of Locksley, she unwittingly reunites Robin and his band of Merry Men, and joins them on their mission to help the poor and bring the corrupt to justice. "American Beauty" producer Dan Jinks will executive produce the drama, which is set up at CBS Television Studios.

Sir Walter Scott’s classic medieval novel Ivanhoe has been adapted for both the big and small screens and the stage several times through the years, most famously in 1952 by Richard Thorpe, whose film nabbed three Oscar nominations. Now Iain Softley is set to make a new version, with Sam Riley on board for the title role.Ivanhoe takes place in 1194, shortly after the failure of the Third Crusade, with King Richard a prisoner and Prince John on the throne. Wilfred of Ivanhoe is out of favour with his father, Cedric of Rotherwood, for his allegiance to Richard and his love for Cedric’s ward, Lady Rowena. Out on his own, he becomes allied with Robin Of Locksley – Aka Robin Hood – and must fight to restore himself through a series of jousts and dangerous missions.Sylvia writer John Brownlow scripted the latest adaptation, which Softley intends to shoot in 65mm for a truly epic scope.

When the full trailer for Robin Hood first hit the screens, it appeared that we were in Gladiator part two territory. Epic sweep, a wronged hero and definitely no American accents or effeminate tights. The finished product is something else altogether, certainly low on swash and buckle but more akin to an origin story. Rusell Crowe and director Ridley Scott have - some would say wisely - veered away from the Prince of Thieves model with its utter skewing of history (telescopes, gunpowder and cesarean births in the 13th century!) as well as giving the hero and story a new spin. So here Richard the Lionheart is killed in the first ten minutes, the Sheriff of Nottingham only has a brief role and there is little robbing from the rich to give to the poor. Returning home from the Crusades Robin Longstride (Crowe) assumes the identity of murdered noblemen Robin of Locksley...

Ridley Scott’s newest epic, his own take on Robin Hood starring Russell Crowe, opens in theaters Friday, May 14. While the classical lore of Robin Hood has him stealing from rich to give to the poor… the trailer suggests Scott has turned the Robin Hood tale into one helluva Gladiator-sized period action flick complete with sword fights. So, anticipating quite an awe-inspiring onscreen display of steel blade clashing, we’ve compiled our top ten list of the best sword fights captured on film.

It's no secret that 2009 was a slow year for a ton of people. Coming off the slump that the world economy has been in for the last two years, for many facets of the entertainment biz, things couldn't get much worse. As we’ve wrapped up this last year, I have heard numerous sighs of relief, seen many puffed up cheeks of exhaustion, and felt the overwhelming dark cloud of “what now?” on Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. Generally, it seems that most of us are perfectly happy to blow a kiss goodbye to the last decade and get on with this new one that, just like that, is suddenly upon us.
As we focus on this new year, and with that, the new topic here at Sco of “Getting the Gig”, I’d like to encourage you and your business by suggesting something to you that you may not appreciate.
