Yellow Brick Road
Robin Hood has been roaming cinema screens since 1908. Yellow Brick Road’s Nils Lagergren and Executive Producers Matilda Olsson and Anton Söderhäll discuss their favourites from these 111 years of outlaws wearing green tights.
From Douglas Fairbanks, Errol Flynn and an animated fox – to Kevin Costner, Cary Elwes, Russel Crowe and Taron Eggerton. This week the Yellow Brick Road leads to Sherwood Forest!
Why is the legend of Robin Hood so successful? What ingredients must a good Robin Hood film include? Why is Alan Rickman the best Sheriff of Nottingham ever? And is it actually possible to shoot arrows as fast as Taron Eggerton in the latest Robin Hood film?
