Sienna Miller has signed on to star with Russell Crowe in ‘Nottingham’ a new revisionist take on the tale of Robin Hood. Miller will star as Maid Marion in a story that focuses on the Sherrif of Nottingham (Crowe) as a lawman who works under a corrupt king, and engages in a love triangle with Marion and Robin Hood.
The film will start shooting late summer, and will be directed by Ridley Scott. The film has been scheduled for a November 6, 2009 release.
I was skeptical of this until I read the part where Ridley Scott would be directing. I love when Scott and Crowe team up, and I love Scott’s period epics, this could end up being a very entertaining film.
Russell Crowe’s accent already resembles something that would fit in another version Robin Hood… though he’ll probably have to drop some of that girth he developed for Body of Lies
