First, I just came across info for this one. They apparently started filming last fall in Colorado, using the Governor's mansion as one of the sets. Word was it would be released this year, but no date has been announced.

In 18th century England, a young farmer finds his world falling apart as he discovers a tangle of past lies and betrayals when his father dies. He is evicted from the farm he thought was his and turned away from the woman he loves. First in desperation, then for revenge, he becomes the highway robber of the poem and fulfills its horrific conclusion.

Production began this month on The Highwayman based on Alfred Noyes' well-known poem of the same name, The Highwayman is set in 18th century England but is being filmed over 4,000 miles away (and over 5000 feet higher in elevation) in Colorado.

Producer Darlene Cypser says, "The rolling plains and mesas east of the Front Range bear a remarkable resemblance to the downs of England. We are also fortunate that Victorian Coloradans were fond of revival architecture. The Governor's Residence, which was given to the State of Colorado by the Boettcher family, was built and decorated in Colonial Revival style which is perfect for our time period."

"Colorado offers a tremendous range of settings," says director Trygve Lode. "There are bustling cities, farmhouses amid rolling hills, forests and plains, Wild West towns and medieval castles. Add 300-plus sunny days per year (and 365 dark nights) and you have a state where the landscape is as film-friendly as the people. We're fortunate to have our own camera, lighting, and sound equipment, so we have the freedom to shoot anywhere we want and we like shooting right here in Colorado."

The Governor's residence will be the mansion of Lord Shafton who is the Godfather-like villain of The Highwayman...

Second, while searching for more details on that movie, I found this trailer for a movie called Turpin. It stars some actors I've heard of, but I can't find any other info on it (you have to be a member of some web forwarding service to open the movie's website) and it doesn't appear on IMDB...

And third, I found another movie about **** Turpin listed on IMDB that's supposed to be released in 2012...
