Why It's Doomed: Because Hollywood just can't let Robin Hood rest easy, yet another attempt to build the legend into a blockbuster franchise is on the way, this time depicting him as a young upstart, played by Kingsman's Taron Egerton.

The sexy superhero approach didn't work for King Arthur earlier this year, and with TV director Otto Bathurst taking the reins on a project that's suffered through numerous production delays, the excitement just isn't there.

Even with a cast including Jamie Foxx (Little John), Ben Mendelsohn (Sheriff of Nottingham) and Jamie Dornan (Will Scarlet), this has critical and box office dud written all over it, a troubled mishmash of concepts that you'll probably come across on Netflix in a few years and suddenly remember that you ever actually saw it.
