Taron Egerton & director Otto Bathurst are interviewed for the new Robin Hood film starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx, Fifty Shades’ Jamie Dornan, Eve Hewson and Tim Minchin. It is directed by Peaky Blinders and Black Mirror’s Otto Bathurst.

Stefan Pape sat down with the actor to talk about how he brought out a more human side to the character, one that would differentiate his Robin of Locksley from the portrayals by Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe. Egerton talked about how to fit in the flaws of the character along with the action packed set pieces. He talks about prejudices and tension between the Merry Men.

Director Otto Bathurst talks about the power and endurance of the folklore legend, and how the constant greed, constant corruption are an eternal story, and we'll always need heroes who will stand up.

The newest version of the poor man’s hero stars Taron Egerton as Robin Hood, Jamie Foxx as little John, the leader of the outlaw’s group Merry Men, Jamie Dornan as Will Scarlett, half-brother of Hood, member of Merry Men, and husband of Marian, Eve Hewson as Maid Marian, Tim Minchin as Friar Tuck. Ben Mendelsohn as the Sheriff of Nottingham and Paul Anderson as Guy of Gisburne.
Producers include Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Davisson Killoran, Production companies are DiCaprio’s Appian Way, Safehouse Pictures, and Thunder Road Pictures.
