Ridley Scott is putting his spin on the old familiar tale. Once deemed Nottingham, the picture has been renamed the proper: Robin Hood.
At first Scott had a version of the movie with Russell Crowe as both the Sheriff and Robin. Now, Crowe will play only the part of Robin Hood.
The story has had many incarnations in Scott's hands and thus as a Robin Hood fan (the BBC series, Kevin Costner, and all), I am worried. We will have an evil Sheriff of Nottingham but now the French will have an antagonist storyline.
A retelling with a revisionist's pen means that the writers, director, and producers have no idea where they are going and when they get to the end of their budget, it's editing time!
Other notes: Cate Blanchett has replaced Sienna Miller in the film as Maid Marian.
The film's principle photography begins in April.
