Robin Hood is an upcoming film based on the Robin Hood legend, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Russell Crowe. It is due for release on May 14, 2010.[2] The film began development in 2007 when Universal acquired a script entitled Nottingham, depicting a heroic Robin Hood to be played by Crowe. Scott's dissatisfaction with the script led him to delay filming, and during 2008 it was rewritten into a story about Robin Hood becoming an outlaw, with the position of being Sheriff as part of the story. Scott dropped the latter notion and Nottingham was retitled to reflect the more traditional angle.

[hide][ edit] Premise
It is late 12th century England and Sir Robin Hood of Locksley, Earl of Huntington, (Russell Crowe) has returned to his North English village after fighting in the Third Crusade. Upon arrival, the nobleman and his servant discover the oppression caused by the new Sheriff of Nottingham (Matthew Macfadyen). Sir Robin uses his intelligence and military skills to free his home village from tyranny and corruption in England, by taking back what is rightfully his, and by taking back what rightfully is theirs, to restore justice and happiness to England. Robin must also win the affection of the recently widowed Lady Marian (Cate Blanchett) while leading his Merry Men of Sherwood Forest to victory and fairness. [3][ edit] Cast
- Russell Crowe plays Robin Hood; it is his fifth collaboration with Scott. Having loved the character since childhood, Crowe joined the project despite being initially displeased with the script. He spent 10 "whole" months reading books about the character and his historical basis, noting "This has got to be the best [Robin Hood depiction] ever done, otherwise I should be doing something else."[4] Crowe put on weight for 2008's Body of Lies, so Universal considered sending an NBA trainer to Australia to coach him back into fitness.[3] Crowe trained with a bow and arrow for four months and was able to hit a target from 45 meters.[5]
- Cate Blanchett as Lady Marian. Sienna Miller was originally cast in the role, but pulled out.[1]
- Mark Strong as Sir Godfrey, King John's henchman.[6] When interviewed in November 2008, Strong stated the character was originally called Conrad and was based on Guy of Gisbourne. He described him as having blond hair and a disfigurement from being struck by a crossbolt.[7]
- Eileen Atkins as Eleanor of Aquitaine, King Richard and King John's mother. Vanessa Redgrave was originally cast for the part, but pulled out after the death of her daughter, actress Natasha Richardson.[8]
- Oscar Isaac as King John of England.[6]
- Steve Seiter, Jr. as Friar Tuck.
- Ciaran Flynn as Loop.[9]
- Léa Seydoux as Princess Isabella.[6]
- William Hurt as William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke.[10]
- Kevin Durand as Little John.[11]
- Scott Grimes as Will Scarlet, Robin's nephew.[11]
- Alan Doyle as Allan A'Dayle. Crowe enlisted Doyle to play the Merry Men's minstrel, having collaborated on the album My Hand, My Heart.[12]
- Danny Huston as Richard the Lionheart
- Matthew Macfadyen as the Sheriff of Nottingham.[13]
- Max von Sydow as Marian's father.
[ edit] Production
In January 2007, Universal Studios and Brian Grazer's Imagine Entertainment acquired a spec script written by Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris, creators of the TV series Sleeper Cell. Their script portrayed a more sympathetic Sheriff of Nottingham and less virtuous Robin Hood, who become involved in a love triangle with Maid Marian. The writers received a seven-figure deal for the purchase. Actor Russell Crowe was cast into the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham with a salary of $20 million against 20% of the gross.[14] The following April, director Ridley Scott was hired to helm Nottingham.[15] He had attempted to get rights for himself and 20th Century Fox, but had collaborated with Grazer on American Gangster and signed on as director rather than producer.[3] Scott was not a fan of previous film versions of Robin Hood, saying "the best, frankly, was Mel Brooks' Men in Tights, because Cary Elwes was quite a comic".[16]In June, screenwriter Brian Helgeland was hired to rewrite the script by Reiff and Voris.[17] Producer Marc Shmuger explained Scott had a different interpretation of the story from "the script, [which] had the sheriff of Nottingham as a CSI-style forensics investigator"

Filming was scheduled to begin in August in Sherwood Forest if the 2008 Screen Actors Guild strike did not take place,[21] for release on 26 November, 2009. By July, filming was delayed,[22] and playwright Paul Webb was hired to rewrite the script.[3] The film was moved to 2010.[23] The Sheriff of Nottingham's character was then merged with Robin.[24] Scott explained Robin "has to retire to the forest to resume his name Robin. So he was momentarily the Sheriff of Nottingham."[25] Hedgeland returned to rewrite, adding an opening where Robin witnesses the Sheriff dying in battle, and takes over his identity.[26] Scott chose to begin filming in February 2009 in forests around London, having discovered many trees which had not been pollarded .[16] Scott was also pleased that the 200 acre Nottingham set that was built during 2008 had aged into the landscape.[27] By February 2009, Scott revealed Nottingham had become his version of Robin Hood, as he had become dissatisfied with the idea of Robin starting as the Sheriff.[5]
Filming began 30 March, 2009.[6] In June and July, the crew will begin filming at Freshwater West, in Pembrokeshire, Wales .[28] Filming also took place in the Bourne Wood at Farnham, Surrey during summer 2009 and in Dovedale near Ashbourne, Derbyshire [29]

Robin Hood by Director Ridley Scott
Director Ridley Scott is working on a new movie based on the story of the legendary Robin Hood. Once titled Nottingham, the movie has been retitled to the more marketable 'Robin Hood'. Besides Russell Crowe as Robind Hood the movie is also starring Cate Blanchett as Lady Marion and Mark Strong as Sir Godfrey, King John's henchman. The movie Robin Hood is set to be released in May 2010.Here below a first look at Russell Crowe as Robin Hood:
(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)
Plot:
"In the film, Robin (Russell Crowe) is an archer in Richard the Lionheart's army, and the villains are the French. This version of the character was abandoned as a child and has problems trusting people. After Richard's death, Robin returns to Nottingham, becoming an outlaw and trying to win the heart of the widowed Lady Marion (Cate Blanchett). Producer Marc Schmuger said this is about how Robin Hood became an outlaw and this is how those guys became the Merry Men of Sherwood Forest."
A new film based on Robin Hood's story may not seem that much exciting at first. But with Director Ridley Scott helming the project and teaming up again with Russel Crowe (they worked together on Gladiator), this Robin Hood movie can but arouse my interest: impatient to see Ridley Scott's take on Robin Hood!
