Jamie Dornan Eyed For Robin Hood: Origins


Fifty Shades star Jamie Dornan is in negotiations to play Will Scarlet in director Otto Bathurst's ("Peaky Blinders") Robin Hood: Origins.

From a script by writer/producer/director Joby Harold ("Awake") and produced by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson under their Appian Way banner, Bathurst's Robin Hood: Origins follows the titular hero as he returns from the Crusades and eventually forms a band of merry men to fight corruption.

Kingsman: The Secret Service star Taron Egerton is set to play the titular role opposite Eve Hewson ("Bridge of Spies") as Maid Marian, and Oscar-winning actor Jamie Fox as a "battle-hardened but war-weary" Little John.

Not unlike Ridley Scott's 2010 film starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett, Bathurst's interpretation of the iconic outlaw and hero is said to be "a gritty revisionist take" on the famous character.

The model turned actor is having a busy 2016 as he cemented his talent with the World War II thriller Anthropoid, and the mystery thriller The 9th Life of Louis Drax. Dornan recently wrapped filming both Fifty Shades sequels and is also starring in the BBC drama The Fall.
