What is happening now

Robin Hood is an arcade game released in late 1983 for several early home computer systems including the Commodore 64 and Atari 2600. Recent coverage has centered not on the game itself, but on Focus Features' film The Uprising, starring Andrew Garfield, which has generated considerable confusion around its actual subject matter. The film, directed by Paul Greengrass, initially marketed as a 1381 Peasants' Revolt drama, was repositioned in its marketing as a Robin Hood origin story - only for the UK distributor to quickly deny any Robin Hood connection. Reviews and director commentary have since framed the film as depicting a proto-Robin Hood figure rebelling against English tyranny, though the exact nature of its relationship to the legend remains ambiguous.
