A24 has released the official trailer for Michael Sarnoski‘s “The Death of Robin Hood,” starring Hugh Jackman as the titular outlaw.
According to the official logline, this darker reimagining of the Robin Hood legend will find the character “grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder.” Unlike most previous iterations of the legendary outlaw, Jackman’s Robin Hood is “a battleworn loner [who] finds himself gravely injured and in the hands of a mysterious woman, who offers him a chance at salvation.”
In addition to Jackman, the A24 thriller stars Jodie Comer (“Killing Eve,” “28 Years Later”), Bill Skarsgard (“Nosferatu,” “It”), Noah Jupe (“A Quiet Place,” “Honey Boy”) and Murray Bartlett (“The White Lotus,” “Welcome to Chippendales”). The film is written and directed by Sarnoski, who previously helmed the critically acclaimed “Pig” (2021) and “A Quiet Place: Day One” (2024). Production on “The Death of Robin Hood” took place in Northern Ireland.
Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett serve as producers under their Ryder Picture Company banner alongside Alexander Black for Lyrical Media. Lyrical’s Jon Rosenberg and Natalie Sellers executive produce with Rama Gottumukkala, Sarnoski and Jackman. “The Death of Robin Hood” is fully financed by Lyrical Media.
A24 acquired the U.S. rights to the film out of Cannes in 2024 and will be distributing the film domestically, while True Brit Entertainment will be releasing the film in the U.K. and Ireland. WME Independent reps the foreign rights to the film.
