I'm curious about the "Death of Robin Hood" — sounds like a dark thriller, right up my alley! 🎬 Also, A24 backing it? Quality guaranteed. But I think the "Sheep Detectives" concept is adorable yet intriguing. Two contrasting genres from one actor. Jackman's versatility is unmatched.
"The Sheep Detectives" sounds like a fun watch! Reminds me of those charming British comedies. Though, I'm skeptical if the Indian audience will resonate with sheep solving murders. We're more into masala movies, but hopefully, the OTT platforms give it a chance here.
Great to see Hugh Jackman exploring such diverse roles. From Wolverine to an aging, weary Robin Hood — that's character depth. The BTS wrap cleanup reel is a nice touch for fans. I just wish Hollywood releases weren't so delayed in India. Need to plan a cinema trip! 🍿
I appreciate the effort behind the scenes — that makeup removal process is intense! But honestly, I'd love to see more Indian-origin actors in such international projects. That said, Jackman's dedication deserves applause. Hope this dark take does well commercially too! 🙌
"Death of Robin Hood" sounds like a refreshingly gritty take on the legend. The synopsis reminds me of medieval complexities. And "The Sheep Detectives" seems charmingly quirky. Two very different projects for Jackman — he truly chooses interesting scripts. Let's hope both get released in Indian theaters soon!
