Russell Crowe is playing both the Sheriff of Nottingham (as previously reported) and also taking the role of Robin Hood in Nottingham, director Ridley Scott told MTV News during a Body of Lies interview.
According to the director himself:
Sienna Miller has already been cast as Maid Marian in the film, which was recently put on hold to work on the current version of the screenplay.
“He’s playing both!” [Ridley Scott told] 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.”
Nottingham was readying for a mid-August start date in London. No new production date has emerged.
