What's the plot of Robin Hood 2018?
The re-imagined movie sees Robin Hood and Little John mount a revolt against the corrupt English crown.
The film features automatic weapons, fashionable battle armour and "chic fascist-wear," according to one reviewer.
The film was produced by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson and the screenplay was written by Ben Chandler and David James Kelly.
Jamie Foxx described the film to Entertainment Weekly last year.
He said: "It's different.
"The way they shot it was crazy, it looks like you're watching Zero Dark Thirty.
"We're shooting with our bows, but they computer-generated it so it's rapid-fire, almost like an AK.
"I saw that and was like 'Oh, they ain't ready for this.'"
