“Sarnoski is one of the great voices in film today. There’s a confidence in his storytelling that I was just blown away by…” A24 has debuted a quick “first look” promo featurette for The Death of Robin Hood, another re-imaginging of this classic legend of the English folk hero. “The legend was a lie,” apparently he was just a killer. Grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, Robin Hood finds himself gravely injured after a battle he thought would be his last. Now in the hands of a mysterious woman on an island, he is offered a chance at salvation. Death of Robin Hood stars Hugh Jackman as old man Robin, with Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett, and Noah Jupe. They’ve been launching numerous trailers for this film, including another promo trailer a few weeks ago. Does it actually look good enough to watch? Is the twist on this Robin Hood tale even that good? This seems like it’s watch a watch just to find out – and I trust in Michael Sarnoski (who’s also in this promo video below). Out in theaters next month – have a peek.

Here’s the “first look” featurette for Michael Sarnoski’s movie The Death of Robin Hood, from YouTube:
