Robin Hood has always been seen as a common-class hero, so a film where he regrets all the deeds he's performed (and supposedly all the people he murdered along the way) is re-writing the hero as a villain looking for redemption for his evil deeds.
Meanwhile, a new version of A Christmas Carol is releasing this year, simply titled Ebenezer, which is once again promoting the humanization and redemption of the wealthiest man in town.
