ZAGREB — After hosting Star Wars and Game of Thrones, Croatia’s Adriatic resort of Dubrovnik was transformed into medieval Nottingham on Monday for a Leonardo DiCaprio-produced adaptation of Robin Hood. With a budget of between US$70 and 100 million (66-94 million euros), according to local media, Robin Hood: Origins is set to be the most expensive movie ever filmed in the country. British actor Taron Egerton stars as Robin and Oscar-winning Jamie Foxx portrays Little John in the film, which is directed by Britain’s Otto Bathurst. Bathurst said his Robin Hood would be different from previous versions of the famous tale, but remained as relevant as ever. Last year Dubrovnik was a backdrop to scenes in the latest Star Wars blockbuster.
