YOU ARE SURE OF A BIG SURPRISE.....
THAT WAS CERTAINLY THE CASE FOR MY DAD WHO LAST SUMMER WENT WALKING WITH OUR DOG INTO THE BOURNE WOODS JUST NEAR OUR HOUSE, WHEN HE STUMBLED ACROSS A SMALL SAXON VILLAGE IN THE MAKING AND A WHOLE HEAP OF SCAFOLDING BEING SET UP AND WORK BEING DONE. UPON ASKING ONE OF THE WORKERS WHAT THEY WERE UP TO THEY WERE INTRIGUED HOW HE HAD IN FACT WALKED INTO THE MIDDLE OF A FILM SET IN THE MAKING FOR THIS SUMMERS BLOCK BUSTER ROBIN HOOD. THEY THEN PROCEEDED TO INCREASE SECURITY AROUND THE SET BUT WE STILL HEADED THAT WAY A FEW TIMES TO SEE THE VILLAGES AND CASTLE TAKE SHAPE. THIS LITTLE BAND OF WOODLAND IS NO STRANGER TO THE LIMELIGHT THOUGH AN OBVIOUSLY A FAVORED LOCATION OF RIDLEY SCOTT, AS IT WAS ALSO THE SETTING FOR THE OPENING SCENE IN GERMANIA OF GLADIATOR WHERE A FEW OF MY UNI FRIENDS MANAGED TO BAG PARTS AS EXTRAS AND PRANCE ABOUT ALL DAY DRESSED AS ROMANS IN THE MUD.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE THIS MOVIE, I'M SURE IT WILL BE ANOTHER EPIC, BUT MAINLY TO SEE THE LOCATIONS THAT I SAW GROW OVER LAST SUMMER.
THE FILM IS SET FOR RELEASE ON MAY 12TH.
