Shout! Studios Acquires All U.S. And Canadian Rights To The Naomie Harris And Gwendoline Christie Family Adventure ‘Robin And The Hoods’

Multi-platform media company Shout! Studios has acquired all U.S. and Canadian rights to the live action family adventure ROBIN AND THE HOODS, starring Academy Award-Nominee Naomie Harris (MOONLIGHT, SKYFALL) and Emmy Award-Nominee Gwendoline Christie (GAME OF THRONES, SEVERANCE), from Epsilon Film. The film also stars Mark Williams (the HARRY POTTER series), Tom Goodman-Hill (REBECCA), and Morgana Robinson (THE WITCHES).

ROBIN AND THE HOODS has just been announced as an official selection of the acclaimed Bentonville Film Festival, and has also screened at Belmont World Film Festival, Providence Children’s Film Festival, and Boston International Kids Film Festival. Additional rollout details for the film will be announced soon.

Directed by Phil Hawkins (PRANCER: A CHRISTMAS TALE, IT LIES WITHIN), from a script by Stuart Benson and Paul Davidson, the fantasy film is a Sky Original, produced by Claudia Bluemhuber for Silver Reel and Matt Williams for the UK’s Future Artists Entertainment. Executive producers for Silver Reel are Alexander Jooss, Florian Dargel, and Karol Griffiths.

Fired by her imagination, Robin is the bright-eyed leader of a group of kids, the Hoods, who love to play fantasy games on a patch of land they nickname The Kingdom. While their biggest concern is a rival gang looking to take over their domain, things get serious when plans emerge to develop the area that’s their playground into a new leisure facility for the town. Faced with the ruthless spokesperson Clip-Board, Robin and her friends must find a way to save their play area before it’s too late.

“We’re thrilled to be adding ROBIN AND THE HOODS to our exciting lineup of family films at Shout!,” said Melissa Boag, EVP of Family Entertainment. “This fresh, imaginative retelling of the Robin Hood story offers action and emotion and reinforces lessons about the power of standing up for what is right.”

The deal for the U.S. and Canadian rights was brokered by Jordan Fields on behalf of Shout! Studios and by Julia Weber on behalf of Epsilon Film.
