Every day, Allociné recommends a film to (re) see on TV. Tonight: Taron Egerton embodies the most famous thieves with big hearts.
Difficult to quantify the number of films that revisits the legend of Robin des Bois. It must be said that the story of the famous outlaw was adapted to feature films, TV movies, animated films, and even parodies.
Among the best known works, there is obviously the Disney Robin of Woods, Robin des Bois, prince of thieves with Kevin Costner, or the adventures of Robin des Bois with Errol Flynn. But it is a completely different film that is now honored …
Released in the cinema in 2018 and directed by Otto Bathurst (which signs his first feature film here after having participated in several episodes of successful series), Robin des Bois is interested in the very specific moment when Robin de Loxley becomes Robin des Bois.
The film is built in three acts. First, the crusades in which the hero participates. Then a second part of waterfalls and races where Robin des Bois and Jean play cat and mouse with sheriff, and finally, a third leading to the final confrontation with the big bad guy.
In this umpteenth adaptation of Robin des Bois, the hero is interpreted on the screen by Taron Egerton (Kingsman), while the character of Petit Jean is played by Jamie Foxx (Django Unchained). By their side, Jamie Dornan (fifty shades of Gray), Eve Hewson (a perfect couple), or Ben Mendelsohn (Rogue One).
Taron Egerton in the shoes of the vigilante pariah
You will understand, Robin of woods enjoys a five -star casting, as well as the popularity of the actor Taron Egerton Who notably received the prize for best actor in a comedy or a musical for his performance in Rocketman, where he embodies Elton John.
However, the Welsh actor almost never played in this film. And for good reason, Jack Huston (Ben-Hur), Jack Reynor (Midsommar), Dylan O'Brien (Labyrinth) and Nicholas Hoult (juror n ° 2) all auditioned to embody the prince of thieves.
Finally, it is Taron Egertonaccustomed to physical roles like his performances in the two Kingsman and Eddie The Eagle, which was selected. And the least we can say is that the 35 -year -old actor assures in the skin of the famous thief who revolts against injustice.
