Russell Crowe Talks Robin Hood

We had a chance to talk to Russell Crowe at a press junket for Body of Lies and he spilled some updates on the upcoming Robin Hood movie. As you should know it was just revealed that Russell Crowe will play both The Sherrif and Robin Hood which is a huge change from the past films and an interesting angle of villain turned hero. As for the status of the film they have not yet started shooting;

No, we haven’t done that yet [started shooting]. It’s one of those things where we’re taking our time with because 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 be doing something else.

As for whether or not Crowe or his co-star Sienna Miller will don tights for the film... its not gonna happen due to science.. darn that science.

I will not wear tights because according to our research they were not invented for another 300 years. I apologize to you all and to Sienna Miller.

Probably worth noting its Sienna I wanted to see in the tights.. not Russell but hey..to each their own. Look for our complete interview with Russell tomorrow.
