Ummmmm no, I mean Will Smith is a fantastic actor and all, but I just can't see him as the man in tights. Plus the Wachowskis annoy the hell out of me. Also Hood? Cthuluhu kill me now.
Matrix Creators Want Will Smith to Play Updated Robin Hood

It'll at least be more believable than tubby middle aged Russel Crowe playing a "young" Robin Hood.
Goddamn, that pissed me off...

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. Smith wanted to be in the movie, and he wasn't able to pull off a convincing Neo. I remember reading about it when his wife Jada-Pinkett Smith was cast as Niobe.Diligent said:
EDIT: It seems wherever i read that was wrong.
"Actor Will Smith turned down the role of Neo to make Wild Wild West, due to skepticism over the film's ambitious bullet time special effects." -Wiki
Sheriff white guy of Nottingham Inc. starts taking parts of the Sherwood Forest Estates (euphamism for "Low-Income Housing" which is a euphamism for "the Hood", which is a euphamism for "that part of town you avoid for good reason") and is turning it into his own playground. Rob N. Hood must then steal the stuff and fight the evil to protect the hood from the evil busniess empire's Board of Director's head John who is contorlling things while CEO Richard Lionheart is away on a business trip. Saving his woman-friend, a maid named Mary-Ann, who John hired to clean his house but is now trying to take advantage of. He finds help from Little John, who could be played by Shaq. It ends with an epic knife/baseball bat/fist fight between the Sheriff and Rob, possibly after a huge shootout and/or epic car chase which likely has a large bodycount of Notthingham Inc. "elite" security guards who for some reason were sent to the Stormtrooper Acadamy of Aiming while the heroes have between a 75 and 90% hit rate with their bullets. Little John dying in the epic final fight is optional but suggested to increase the drama and make it seem like Rob is in serious danger. In the end, Sherwood Forest Estates is saved and CEO Richard makes a formal apology and gives everyone in the hood free bling to make up for it.
If I am at all right on this, Hollywood is indeed screwed up beyond repair. Especially considering how hard I tried to make the story full of racist stereotypes.
I might save this and pitch it to the Wyan's Bros. I bet they'd make it for sure and it would be funny (because it is the Wayans bros and because they can get away with the racist stereotyping because they are black).

Well, as long as this is something that is not placed in the era. I think I can be comfortable with that. If it is something that is modern, and not placed in the medivevil times then it might not be too bad. As long as it only carries the spirit of Robin Hood and nothing else. However, I hope it doesn't encourage theft from well meaning people. I hope it does not justify theft in any way. I also hope it doesn't show that white people are the only ones who are rich, and thus should be stolen from. I guess we have to wait and see.
Dipshits. The Wachowski Brothers have officially gone bonkers. They were bonkers before (*cough*Speed Racer*cough*), now it's just completely official.
I know what these words mean, but in that order... they make no sense.Elizabeth Grunewald said:
I really have no problem with the idea of an African American Robin Hood.
The movie, overall, has the potential to be either really good, or eye-gougingly terrible.
