Variety reports that Ridley Scott, having directed Russell Crowe in Gladiator (2000; my review), A Good Year (2006) and the upcoming American Gangster, has signed up to steer the actor through his latest project, a movie called Nottingham:
Crowe stars as the Sheriff of Nottingham in a revisionist take on the Robin Hood tale, with Nottingham as a noble and brave lawman who labors for a corrupt king and engages in a love triangle with Maid Marion and Robin Hood.
A corrupt king? Is that a reference to Richard I, who was played by Iain Glen in Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven (2005)? Or does this film take place after Prince John ascended to the throne?
