Bill Skarsgård Joins Hugh Jackman in "The Death of Robin Hood"
Yara Sameh
Bill Skarsgård (Nosferatu, It), Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus, Welcome to Chippendales) and Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place, Honey Boy) have joined the cast of 'The Death of Robin Hood.'
The trio join previously announced stars Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer for a movie that charts the outlaw's 'last days' that's written and directed by Michael Sarnoski, the filmmaker behind the critically-acclaimed 'Pig' and 'A Quiet Place: Day One.'
The movie finds Jackman's Robin Hood 'grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder,' the official logline reads, 'a battleworn loner finds himself gravely injured and in the hands of a mysterious woman, who offers him a chance at salvation.'
Principal photography begins this week in Ireland. Lyrical Media is fully financing the film.
Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett will produce under their Ryder Picture Company banner, alongside Alexander Black for Lyrical Media and Jackman. Lyrical's Jon Rosenberg and Natalie Sellers will executive produce with Rama Gottumukkala and Sarnoski.
A24 acquired the U.S. rights to the movie out of Cannes and will be distributing the film domestically, while True Brit Entertainment will be releasing the film in the U.K. and Ireland. WME Independent reps the foreign rights to the film.
Skarsgård captured global attention as Pennywise the Clown in 'It' and 'It: Chapter Two,' based on Stephen King's iconic horror novel. He's followed that up with a range of versatile performances, culminating most recently with playing Count Orlok in 'Nosferatu,' one of the highest-grossing horror movies of 2024.
Bartlett followed up his Emmy-winning performance in 'The White Lotus,' with a prime role in 'The Last of Us' and 'Welcome to Chippendales.' His upcoming film credits include A24's 'Opus' and 'At The Sea,' opposite Amy Adams.
Jupe has built a impressive resume over his young career, marked by impressive turns in TV series like 'The Night Manager,' the horror franchise 'A Quiet Place' and a commanding performance in 'Honey Boy,' for which he earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination.

BTS Reunion Nears as Jimin, Jungkook, RM, V Complete Military Service
Yara Sameh K-pop group BTS' members Jimin and Jungkook were discharged from the South Korean military on Wednesday, the fifth and sixth to complete the country's mandatory service, prompting fan frenzy and anticipation for their long-awaited reunion. On Tuesday morning, fans and media began gathering near Yeoncheon Public Stadium in Gyeonggi Province to welcome the two stars. The two K-pop idols appeared with bright smiles, offering brief greetings and expressing their sincere gratitude to supporters who had waited for their return. 'Thank you to the fans and reporters who came to see us,' Jimin said. 'It's been a long time, from the pandemic to military service. Now that we're back, we'll work hard to show you what we've prepared.' 'There were a lot of unforgettable moments,' Jungkook added. 'Thanks to everyone who served with us and supported us along the way.' Jimin also hinted at what's to come: 'Now that I'm discharged, I think it's time we continue drawing the picture we had in mind. We'll prepare well and share it with you soon.' He concluded: 'Military life wasn't easy, but I'm grateful for the memories. If you see a soldier on the street, a warm gesture can mean a lot.' The duo enlisted together in late 2023, completing basic training at the same boot camp before being assigned to separate units. Jimin served with the military band under the 5th Infantry Division, while Jungkook completed his service with the Baekma Division. Members RM and V were discharged on Tuesday, and the last to wrap up his service will be Suga on June 21, who is currently fulfilling his alternative service as a social worker. RM and V greeted fans with salutes and a saxophone performance after being discharged. V asked fans to "wait just a little longer" for BTS to reunite. Hundreds of fans, some of whom flew in from overseas, gathered in front of Hybe's headquarters in central Seoul to celebrate RM's and V's return on Tuesday. Many of them were dressed in purple, BTS' signature colour, and carried large banners and photographs of the two K-pop idols. South Korea requires all able-bodied men aged 18 to 28 to serve for about two years in the military so the country can be ready to fight the North. On Tuesday, Hybe displayed a banner saying "We are back", along with the official logos of BTS and ARMY - an acronym for the band's fan group, which stands for Adorable Representative MC for Youth - on its building. The seven-member group put their global music career on hold in 2022 to begin their service at the height of their global fame, starting with Jin in December that year, each serving duties of varying lengths as long as 18 months. The group will make their highly anticipated first public reunion at the upcoming 2025 BTS FESTA, taking place June 13-14 at KINTEX in Goyang, South Korea. The event promises to be a powerful homecoming celebration for fans worldwide and the start of BTS' next chapter. BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys or "Bulletproof Boy Scouts" in Korean, began forming in 2010 after Big Hit Entertainment founder Bang Si-hyuk recruited RM, followed by Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. However, the band officially debuted in 2013, but it wasn't until 2017 when a highly successful US tour propelled their blend of pop, hip-hop and R&B - mostly in Korean - onto the global stage. Since then, the septet has become the most-streamed group on Spotify, the first K-pop act to top the US iTunes chart and several Billboard charts, and one of the most awarded groups in history. BTS has actively advocated for youth issues, including through a mental health initiative with UNICEF. It has also addressed the United Nations General Assembly and met with former US President Joe Biden to discuss the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes. In recent years, each of the seven members has also made a mark individually, with all scoring solo entries on the Hot 100. The band had previously won a deferral, when in 2020, the nation's parliament passed a bill allowing them to delay their duties until the age of 30. In 2022, the oldest member of the group, Jin, enlisted, and the others followed suit. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
