Robin Hood

[StorminNorman]

No, he's just a bad actor. Gangs of NY was a tolerable movie as is, but Leo was one of the weak points in it, which he tends to be in all his movies.

 

[The Englishman]

Leo is a great choice if can nail the accent as well as he did South African in 'The Blood Diamond'.

What accent does he need to nail??

 

[Han-Solo]

Gawd, I am so sick of Robin Hood movies

Ridley Scott's Nottingham Delayed
Source: The Hollywood Reporter, Defamer
July 26, 2008


The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed a report that first appeared at Defamer - Ridley Scott's Nottingham has been delayed. The film will star Russell Crowe as Sheriff of Nottingham and Sienna Miller as Maid Marian.

According to the reports, the project had been heading for a mid-August start date in London, but has now been put on hold. The trade says, however, that it has not been determined if this means a postponement or a cancellation.

Nottingham, which Universal and Imagine are producing, has been one of the handful of high-profile productions determined to push ahead despite the labor uncertainty surrounding the current stand-off between producers and SAG.

It is not yet known what factors led to the current decision to put the brakes on the production.

I was really hoping to see this.

 

[That-Guy]

I hope that this doesn't get delayed... I'd really like to see a GOOD Robin Hood movie come out in my time, and I'm sorry, Kevin Costner didn't quite cut it for me (although Alan Rickman OWNED as the Sheriff).

As for a good Robin Hood... does anyone else think that Eric Dane has got a real "Errol Flynn" look about him?

RUSSELL Crowe is looking forward to bonus time in Australia after the postponement of filming for his next project, Nottingham.
The Oscar winner said it would be at least seven months before the film gets off the ground in England, allowing him to spend more time at his Woolloomooloo home with wife, Danielle Spencer, and sons, Charlie, 4, and Tennyson, 2, and working on other projects.


"More time in Australia is always a bonus," Crowe said last week.
"I have another project based on the life of comedian Bill Hicks, which is going from treatment to draft stage with Kiwi writer Mark Staufer."


It is understood he is considering playing the main role of Hicks — a controversial and brilliant American comedian who battled drug and alcohol abuse before dying from cancer at 32. Crowe confirmed Nottingham would not go ahead until March next year because director Sir Ridley Scott wanted the leaves on the trees in England's Sherwood Forest to be the right colour.


The delay meant local projects would get more attention — including a documentary Crowe is yet to name and the Bra Boys film, My Brother's Keeper, which was at second draft stage with Australian writer Stuart Beattie, he said.

This film was once fast tracked, too.

Robin Hood movie good to go

RIDLEY Scott's Nottingham movie, which was postponed 'indefinitely' last month, is due to start filming in February.

Russell Crowe and Sienna Miller are still on board for the project, with The Dark Knight actor Christian Bale expected to join them -- though his role is as yet unconfirmed.


Various reasons had been given for the production delay including script problems and the colour of the Forest where they were scheduled to film not being "green" enough.


Director Ridley Scott was said to be furious over the project's delay.
Crowe will play a good Sheriff of Nottingham embroiled in a love triangle with Miller and an evil Robin Hood.

Not the most dependable source, granted, but good news if true. Has Bale been rumoured before? I really hope he is in this

He's been rumored, but I don't believe there's anything official about him being Robin Hood (but it would be amazing if he was).

Bale and Crowe had a good Chemistry in 9:10 to Yuma......it could work in Nottingham to,but my first choise would still be DiCaprio.

Evil Robin Hood?That makes me really curious.

 

[Warhammer]

Robin Hood is evil in this?

I guess I could kind of see it since this will be from the Sheriff's perspective.

DiCaprio would be a terrible Robin Hood.....

 

[dude stannis]

What about Clive Owen. He'd make a good scruffy bad guy bandit.

 

[That-Guy]

I like Clive Owen, but seeing him weild a sword again will just remind me of that dismal King Arthur movie he did.

 

[Watson]

MMMMM great idea

I think he could do a good job. He would do a much better job as a ruffian type then the King type role he did in King Arthur.

 

[shapeshifter]

What would be the point of that, exactly? Robin Hood never existed, so you're not doing a historically accurate, deeper biography of real historical figures. Robin Hood is simply a legendary hero, and the Sheriff a villain.

And your point about the Sheriff upholding the law - he is only intrested in money and his own power. He only upholds the law because it keeps him in power. He's a dictator. He's a bad guy!

there is no proof one way or another about his existing or not. there is documented evidence that supports there being a Robin Hood in history, as well as evidence to the contrary. where record keeping was scarce at best in those ages, it may never be definitive.

DiCaprio would be a terrible Robin Hood.....

or a terrible anything for that matter

 

[x-fan]

how about Cary Elwes, for robin?

 

[Majik1387]

Haha, if he was still in shape.
