This sounds good: Russell Crowe will reportedly star as the Sheriff of Nottingham in the 2009 movie "Nottingham," which will be directed by Ridley Scott. Sienna Miller will play Maid Marian. No word on who will portray Robin Hood, who is apparently the bad guy in this film.
In my opinion, with Russell Crowe in the lead role, this movie is almost guaranteed to be good.
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
I thought Kevin Costner was a disaster when he played Robin Hood because he didn't seem to be trying at all. I hope for much better from Russell Crowe.
