Finally some news of Ridley Scott’s new movie based on the Robin Hood stories called Nottingham. He is now almost done with his upcoming political thriller Body of Lies. The most interesting piece of news that has come out is the fact that Russell Crowe will be playing both the Sheriff of Nottingham and also will be playing the part of Robin Hood.

Crowe was asked at a recent press conference about the project. He had this to say “No, we haven’t done that yet,” Crowe responded to the reporter’s query. “It’s one of those things where we’re taking our time with. You don’t want to be doing Robin Hood unless you’re going to be doing it really f*cking well. It’s got to be the best one ever done otherwise you should do something else.”

He also went on to say that he would not be wearing tights because according to their research, they hadn’t been invented and wouldn’t be for 300 years. Crowe confirmed that he would be starring in the movie opposite Sienna Miller presumably as Maid Marian.

“He’s playing both!” (he said) exclusively to MTV News during an interview for his new film “Body of Lies,” which co-stars Crowe. While Scott held additional details close to his chest — saying they would take too long to describe — he did exclaim that Crowe’s dual roles would be “a good old clever adjustment of characters. One becomes the other. It changes.”

So the news that Christian Bale and Sam Riley might have taken the role of Robin Hood have all been put to rest now. So this is surely going to be something interesting to watch out for in the coming months. Check this space.
