Last of Robin Hood
Jan 24, 2013

While on Sundance, Dakota talked about a new project she’s involved in; A film named Last of Robin Hood. The filming begins Feb 15th:

Dakota Fanning has been cast as Kevin Kline‘s teenage girlfriend in the true Hollywood pic The Last Of Robin Hood, which chronicles the final years of Errol Flynn‘s life with Kline portraying the swashbuckling screen icon. Quinceanera helmers Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland scripted and will direct. Fanning will play teenage actress Beverly Aadland, who was 17-years-old and by Flynn’s side when he died at age 50 in 1959. Susan Sarandon is also attached as Florence Aadland, who wrote the 1961 book The Big Love accusing Flynn of starting a sexual relationship with her daughter when Beverly was 15, an allegation Beverly Aadland later confirmed to People.

“The filming begins Feb 15th.” Great! Too often we hear about movies way way ahead of filming and then they fall through — very frustrating.

Here’s the Wikipedia page for Beverly Aadland.

This will be a nice challenge for Dakota. Tessa, in “Now is Good” was a pretty tame persona; this should give Dakota a chance to step it up a lot and do it soon. One of my thoughts when watching “Now is Good” was that she’d best not get herself typecast in this sort of role; I am quite relieved.

The casting of Kevin Kline as Flynn seems a bit strange. Flynn was only 50 when he died (and Beverly was 17). Kline is 65 and about 46 years older than Dakota; Flynn was about 33 years older than Beverly. We’ll see how it all works out.

Beverly died in 2010 but they have her mother’s book to go on plus this 1988 interview for People magazine.

Oops, the People link fails. I’ll copy in again. If it still fails, you can search for the article by title: “Errol Flynn’s Pretty Baby”
