Focus Features has retitled Paul Greengrass’s forthcoming period action film *The Uprising* as *The Uprising: The Rise of Robin Hood*, two weeks before its premiere. The change makes explicit the film’s connection to the Robin Hood legend after earlier marketing presented it chiefly as a drama about the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt.

Andrew Garfield plays the leader of a rebellion against King Richard II, assembling an army to fight royal tyranny. The studio says the story is based on events that helped inspire the Robin Hood legend; the article suggests the revised title may be intended to make the premise more commercially recognisable.
