A modern Robin Hood versus vampires
The cast continues to grow for John Regan’s Sherwood Horror, a contemporary set reimagining of the Robin Hood legend with bite (aka vampires!), which we first told you about here.
Ex-con Rob Locksley (DJ Perry of Ghost Town, The 8th Plague, Blood Ties and Dog) returns home after a six-year absence to find his town under the rule of vampires. He must join forces with his old roughneck hunting buddies to wage war against the evil Sheriff and his horde of blood-suckers.
Newcomer Mike Powers is set to join Taymour Ghazi as one of Locksley’s merry men. Powers will play Will, Locksley’s impulsive younger cousin, who fronts a punk band “Scarlet Fever” in a small southern town. He also happens to be quick-witted and deadly with a dagger.
Powers is co-host of The Mike And Bob Show on 96x, one of the top rated radio talk shows in Virginia. Regan adds, “After screentesting different actors, it became apparent that Mike had the versatility and traits needed to bring Will Scarlet to life.”
The film will be produced by DJ Perry under his Imaginative Endeavors banner. Regan will direct from his own screenplay.
Below is a conceptual design of the Will Scarlet character reimagined for modern times by artist Matt Bahr. Check out the concept poster at our previous news post here.
