11. Robin Hood

Release Date: September 21

Why It's Doomed: Does anyone really want yet another Robin Hood reboot? Well, we're getting it anyway, with TV director Otto Bathurst (Black Mirror, Peaky Blinders) making his feature debut while Taron Egerton stars as Robin Hood, alongside Jamie Foxx (Little John), Jamie Dornan (Will Scarlet) and Ben Mendelsohn (the Sheriff of Nottingham).

If you think this is all a bit reminiscent of last year's critical and commercial dud King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Robin Hood was penned by the very same writer, Joby Harold, who has just one other movie to his name: a terrible 2007 Hayden Christensen-starring thriller, Awake.

Despite the talented cast, there's just little reason for this film to exist, and don't be surprised if it makes things even worse for itself by trying to set-up a Robin Hood Cinematic Universe. You can hear the groans of indifference already.
