Not that that either appears to be the director’s cut. Read more: The Adventures of Robin Hood is Still the Best Version of the Legend But it slows down an already bloated film, weakens the character a little, and the leaner cut – which even then, isn’t too lean – is arguably the best. The longer cut explores in more detail his relationship with the bizarre Mortianna, revealing more backstory – specifically that she’s his mother – and adds in his worshipping at the altar of dual gods.

Reynolds, a Texan, would also have to factor in that the movie was not only filming thousands of miles from home, but also that he was shooting in a British winter (“I think the weather in particular was a problem on that shoot because we were shooting in the fall, and especially up north, we had a lot of weather problems, all very rainy and all,” he told Den of Geek UK). It didn’t help that, when Reynolds signed on, he had just a month and a half to prepare a movie that was mainly shooting in the UK.

Upcoming independent Morgan Creek thus moved quickly (having originally sought and failed to get Mel Gibson for the role of its Robin), and pulled a masterstroke by hiring one of Costner’s best friends, Kevin Reynolds, to direct. The problem was that Fox’s script wasn’t ready enough, and also that McTiernan was also interested in a different, new project with Sean Connery (that ultimately didn’t get made).

Ashton-Griffiths began acting in 1982, and has appeared in many films since. Roger Ashton-Griffiths had the very short role of Master Quayle, the first victim of the evil Sheriff.
