The chats would be more like, “listen, we’re doing a load of rain so do you have any more rain stands I could use?” or he’d call me and say “we’re doing a big fire gig, can we borrow your dantes ?” We were all fairly involved in our own work at the time so I wouldn’t talk to Johnny about what they were doing. Harris told us that “a mate of mine, Johhny Evans, was doing the effects for Prince of Thieves and a lot of my special effects friends were working with John. Whilst Costner and Bergin were busy getting their respective Robins on, one in Buckinghamshire, one in North Wales, lots of the crew were actually moving between productions or meeting to share resources.Īccording to David Harris, head of special effects on Robin Hood, contact between the two SFX teams was a regular occurrence as they shared their limited resources to ensure both films could run on schedule. However, after digging around for an oral history of the film that you can find in this month’s issue of Film Stories print magazine, we discovered that the truth behind the two competing productions was more collaborative than you’d think.
ROBIN HOOD THE LEGEND OF SHERWOOD BITTORRENT TV
An all-green encounter which didn’t happen in the States, due to Robin Hood skipping cinemas to go straight to Fox’s TV network. We know the British press loves a good rivalry and as such, the two films, despite their many differences, were duly set against one another. The other was Robin Hood, a lower-budget, British-made, gritty tale of the Sherwood legend, shot in shadow and firelight and steeped in historical realism.Īt the time, despite being utterly different in tone, budget and creative intention, the summer of 1991 was billed as ‘The Battle of the Robin Hoods’. One was Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, a globe-conquering Hollywood blockbuster with Kevin Costner, questionable accents, haircuts and historic accuracy, not to mention an outstanding performance from the ages from the late, great Alan Rickman. Whilst one production, with Liam Neeson set to play the outlawed nobleman, stumbled at the last, the other two made it into the world.
Back at the dawn of the 1990s, there were three, and all of them were looking to hit production at the same time, a rarity in the film business. There’s that old adage in Hollywood that there’s always at least a couple of Robin Hood films in development. In 1991, everybody expected Patrick Bergin and Kevin Costner’s respective Robin Hood movies to do battle at the box-office, or at least with quarterstaffs over raging torrents of water. One Directors Guild of America Award for " Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Children's Programs" and one Leo Awards for "Best Overall Sound - Feature Film" for William Butler.Exclusive: how 1991’s Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves and the Patrick Bergin-headlined Robin Hood crossed over behind the scenes.
