Earlier this week, production got under way on Lionsgate’s highly-anticipatedRobin Hood: Origins, with the first set photos revealingTaron Egertonas the title character. Today we have even more images from the set in Dubrovnik, Croatia, which offers our first look atJamie Foxxas Little John. We also have a brief video which showsJamie FoxxandTaron Egertontaking a stroll together, before they’re interrupted by a group riding past on horseback.
These new photos and video comes fromThe Dubrovnik Times, the local publication where the film is shooting. Their report reveals that last night’s shoot took place in the eastern entrance to the Old City section of Dubrovnik, with this scene taking place on the stone bridge that leads into the city from the Ploce Gate. While little context was given for the scene, a brief video showsLittle Johnpulling Robin Hood out of the way as a number of men on horseback rode past them, as they both take off after the horses after they pass. There are also “explosions and fireballs in the set near the harbour area” that can be seen in the background.
The site also reports that today’s shoot moves the action to the center of the city, which hosts “the most intricate sets” built in Dubrovnik. Filming is expected to last in Dubrovnik until March 6, with over 1,000 extras assembled for the shoot, which recreate The Crusades. The first set photos revealed a scene whereTaron Egerton’s title character was spotted kissingEve Hewson’sMaid Marian. It remains to be seen when we’ll get to see the rest of the cast members in action as filming continues in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
