On screen, Robin Hood has been robbing from the rich to feed the poor for nearly as long as movies have been made. The likes of Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner and Sean Connery have put their imprint on the character, portraying him as everything from a swashbuckling rogue to a battle-hardened crusader. Even Walt Disney got in on the action, depicting Sherwood Forest as an animated haven for anthropomorphic foxes, bears and chickens. Given the dozens of films about Robin Hood, Michael Sarnoski, the director of “Pig” and “A Quiet Place: Day One,” worried there wasn’t much left to say about the famous thief.
