Russell Crowe as ROBIN HOOD pics - well... kinda...
Hey folks, Harry here... Ridley Scott's ROBIN HOOD set is closed, but when you're making the UK's most popular mythology - there's gonna be images that escape. Below you'll see a more armored Robin Hood than you're likely used to - and I bet this will be greatly different from my favorite telling of the tale, THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD with Errol Flynn. As we exist in a world where all stories must be gritty and dirty and more bloody. I suppose it's a reflection of the times. Hopefully this won't have Bryan Adams singing...

I have an English accent!

The Postman 2: Robin's Revenge?
-
It doesnt feel right for Robin Hood.Interesting tho.
-
Gets my vote. I'm there.
-
Bring back the real sheriff
-
people are shitting on this so much. I think it's just a reflex with too many people at this point. Scott in this setting with Crowe has potential doesn't it?
-
This picture was released in mid-April. Don't remember it being on the site, maybe it was maybe it wasn't. Either way...
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/ article-1172000/Rockin-Robin-Slimmed-Russell-Crowe-gets-Gladiator-look-play-prince-thieves.html -
Give me Prince of Thieves, Alan Rickman, Michael Wincott, and Kevin Costner!
-
My opinion of this movie has just done a 180 from not caring at all to eager anticipation.
-
Because there's no love like your love.
-
I know Prince Of Thieves began with Robin in prison during the Crusades and from those pics it seems like this new film will begin with the Crusades as well.
Prince of Thieves was actually on TV last week. It's still a very fun movie. -
The Brian Adams song was number 1 for how long? If only this new movie would have it that good. At least Russel Crowe is finally looking like his Gladiator persona once more..That was his last great movie..
-
Only the awe-inspiring power of giant robots can rid Russell Crowe of his eternal pugilism.Gonna throw a telephone at one a' them giant robots, eh mate?... I think not. You'd need a goddamn telephone pole to drop one of those suckers.
-
It came out the year I graduated high school; it was also the summer of The Rocketeer. Aside from Kevin Costner's non-accent, the movie still re-plays extremely well. The director, Kevin Reynolds, really did a great job with it. I'm not sure how this version could really add anything more to the same old story though. If anything, it looks like a remake of Prince of Thieves.
-
at Crowes Diva like Demands.
-
pretty bitchin' golf cart.
-
Doesn't look bad, just not the costumes I expected. Better than little tights.
-
but the creative juices just aren't flowing like they used to

Boy, Arthur and the pantheon of his chroniclers oughta kick your butt for such blasphemy.
-
And in these pics!

Crowe would tear Erroll Flynn's fucking head off.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
-
Chroniclers" were French. THere is that.
-
it looks good to me. Prince of Thieves was fun, but Kevin Costner was woefully miscast.
-
I wondered how long it would take for that little nugget to surface, and while Chretien and the vulgate rock, I think Malory more than makes up for it. Besides, after 1066 who WASN'T French?
-
...but it sure smells good!
-
for at least ten years now! (Eleven?) If you could just get through the coffin, the decapitation would be easy. Hell, I could tear George Washington's head off! Not that I would, because he's a hero of mine.
-
Crowe would probably skull fuck Flynn then rip it off!
Erol was a little too prancy as Robin. Tyrone Power would have been better! -
This is the gay porn version correct?
-
I'm just really not interested in this one at all. And I like pretty much anything Robin Hood.
-
according to that 2nd pic, it looks like we're finally going to get to see the famous "Robin Hood driving his band of merry men to football practice in the Mule ATV" scene that all of the previous movies have missed.
-
Yep.
-
If ol' Russ aint fightin' round the world, then I dont give a damn.
-
AWESOME. The dudes going places.
-
PRINCE OF THIEVES was rather too glossy and mainstream for my tastes. I preferred the Patrick Bergin ROBIN HOOD that came out around the same time (anybody see that one? Anybody at all?).
Also there was a great little Robin Hood film (i think from the seventies) called ROBIN AND MARIAN with Sean Connery as an old Robin Hood coming back for one last clash with the Sherrif (Robert Shaw). That was a decent flick.
This should be good too. -
god I hate him
-
thats what it looks like..not complaing though since that movie was number 1 in my books (director's cut of course)...but perhaps this film is set at the same time and maybe in the same universe if ridly is using the same crew it'll have the same look

Crowe would Bow before Flynn and beg for advice. -
i'm still waiting for American Dad to do some sorta spoof, or least a joke about Critters...come on, maybe it can be a pet from Roger's planet or something, it must be done.

That same generically eastern Mediterranean "exotic" wailing bitch who has ruined every death scene in a period picture since Gladiator. GAAAH, I am so sick of that shit at this point!

"Robin Hood and Little John running through the forest..."
by skycrapper
Always here the Disney song when I read about Robin Hood.
-
Well, at least Crowe isn't faking that he's a Spaniard this time. I'll see this for sure.
-
The cross on his chest is taking my mind in that direction. SWISS ARMY KNIFE MAN!!!
-
That wailing bitch... she's almost worse than ScripGirl (who didn't show up this week! Anyone else notice? Or care?)
-
Ever since Gladiator, a film which I loved ever so dearly, EVERY DAMNED period piece film has had the "exotic wailing bitch" or EWB for short to the point that they might as well just cut and paste her in from the previous period film...doesn't even have to be a death scene now someone can be just riding across the desert, or taking a stroll down some wheat fields and BOOM EWB arrives....even 300 had it..
-
needs more unicorns. ohhh and fairies. yep, definitely needs fairies. fuck it--just remake Legend already.
-
Really adds a Highlander feel to it.
-
Bryan Adams is welcome to sing on that one.
-
As does everything in this world.
-
Gladiator is definitely one of my favorite movies ever. I am so excited for this. His costume is definitely Crusade-stylin.
-
Friar Tuck throwing turkey legs away after one bite. More of that.
-
. . . Will Ferrell is NOT in it.
Nor Jack Black . . .
Nor Robert Downey Jr. . . .
Nor Ben Stiller . . .
Etc . . . -
... is because it's part of a battle scene between the French and the English. Robin Hood is obviously a soldier at this point in the movie. My brother is an extra in the scenes they are shooting on a beach in Wales, and they'll be there for ten days. The French will be attacking from the water in longboats, and the English will be defending the beach. It's supposed to be as furious as the opening of Saving Private Ryan.
-
Go Fat Robin! Go!
-
And I'm already bored, does anyone really want to see this? I'm tired of the turning classic stories into some gritty thing. Maybe thats what they were, but who cares anymore. Wow another Medevil period piece. I guess its too hard to come up with something cool and original about Medevil times.
-
I love that film - it is quite dark in places too. (30+ year old SPOILERS) Marian has scars on her wrists from suicide attempts and nearly all of RH's old crew bite the dust before the end. Robert Shaw's Sheriff is a brutal SOB but unlike Ian Holm's massive wanker King John he has some sense of honour.The final duel between Shaw and Connery is fuckin' brutal as well and tries to be as realistic as possible. They both know that they are just a pair of old farts with little chance of making it through unscathed. After a few minutes they are both completely fucked and straining to take swings at each other.It is quite cheesy in places but well worth a watch.

Um Harry..USA today already showed pictures of his "Robin Hood"
by glory_fades_immaxfischer
Have you ever read the original story or just get your history from Errol Flynn and Disney?
-
...has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions...
-
Ivanhoe maybe
-
Also, in case you didn't know, Crowe should be buttfucked in the face.
-
He has the right look for it (at least w/ mustache & beard.
-
In LOTR
-
...when he's got that bad-ass ATV at his disposal?
-
They'll put Michael cera as Rocket Robin Hood, or some other dickface geek if not Black or Ferral.
-
Robin Hood had access to a ATV. Fill in the rest and you too can write for SNL.
-
That is the end of the movie.
-
Robin Hood takes place during the 12th century and the reign of Richard the Lionheart, who, as a Norman King of England ruled as the Duke of Normandy, Duke of Aquitaine, Duke of Gascony, Count of Anjou, Count of Maine, Count of Nantes and Overlord of Brittany. When during his reign did the "French" ever invade England? He practically owned all of France.
-
That's all.
-
if this will bomb!
-
Youngdog, now you got me wanting to see ROBIN AND MARIAN again...
Henry Jones, did your brother tell you how the battle ends? Can I hazard a guess? The French don't surrender by any chance do they?
(makes chicken noises hoping to antagonise any French tb'ers into a flame war, secretly knowing that if they engage they will of course surrender. Checkmate to Cobra Frenchie) -
I like your sentiment but a buttfucking to the face would in actual fact be a facefucking.You may have your own special technique of buttfucking reserved for people that piss you off that you would like to see transferred on to Russell Crowe's face but you could always refer to that as Facefucking - the Cruel Kingdom way.
-
what the fuck is wrong with bryan
adams singing? is this because hes canadian? whats everyone got against our neigbors to the north
anyway? -
Best Robin Hood ever.
-
Well then, it's the other way around. The English are in the longboats and the French are on the beach. Either way, there's lots of arrows being shot and just as many helicopter shots to capture it all on film, apparently,
-
I wish they'd research the period movies more closely. There were NO motorized vehicles at that time!!!! Robin Hood driving around the forest in a ATV is just going to wreck it-for me at least.
-
Horses complaining of back problems.
-
I have no desire to see it.wtf cares about robin hood
-
The ATV is just filling in for the horse while they film the movie. They are going to digitally insert in a horse in post. See no horse would sign a contract allowing them selves to carry Crows lard ass around everywhere.
-
Jason Statham as Will Scarlet. Nicolas Cage as Friar Tuck(Gains 120lbs for the role). Ian Mcshane as Nottingham. Do I eevn have these charecters right? It's been a while.
-
Somebody needs to make a list pronto.
-
If that is true then its a big red flag. It looks like Ron Howard may be Crowe's last BFF.
-
Seriously, how people can bitch about this is beyond me. It's Scott & Crowe doing Robin Hood and nobody's seen shit beyond some stills.
-
for three hours yesterday. Lots of shots of Crowe on a horse, wind and rain machines etc. Loads of the guys are extras in the rowboats, but the set guy said it is only going to be eight minutes of screentime from all the Wales filming.Funny thing is that Crowe is helicoptering himself to Windsor every night (about 250 miles) rather than stay in our rather spartan lodgings...

I think some of you may be letting nostalgia cloud your judgment
by jimmy rabbitte
Prince of Thieves suuuuuuuucked. I saw it in a packed theater, on opening weekend; and when it ended everyone got up and walked out very quietly. The suckiness of the film had drawn all the air out of the room. PoT's = P.O.S.
-
I'm assuming this is some kind of temporary getup--maybe a preliminary stage before he goes outlaw.But it does make me think that Crowe would be great for some sort of Ivanhoe, King Richard-type part. I'd actually be more interested in the film if he played a part like that--sort of a modern counterpart to Henry Wilcoxon.But no matter how unnecessary this film seems, it's a good cast and I like Crowe. I hope they do something that justifies its existence.
-
Rickman does rule indeed
-
A lesser actor would have sucked saying that.
-
or Jon Hamm
Bill Fagerbakke as Little John -
that's what this film is going to be...it will literally make you involuntarily cum your pants during the first scene...and it'll be so good that you'll just have to sit in it until the credits roll...sticky fucking robin hood bliss...
thanks to Boogie Nights for the imagery -
...I like the `updating`with the mini-jeep especially ;-)
-
the time? Some historians put Robin Hood at around 1070 AD to early 1100's AD. And not at all involved in the crusades.
-
The Bryan Adams' song "Cant' Stop This Thing We Started" plays during the opening titles.
-
I like both Scott and Crowe, but after "Prince of Thieves," "Gladiator," LOTR etc I think I've had enough with medieval times.
-
FIGHTIN' PEOPLE ROUND THA WORLD!!!!!
-
IS THE BEST ROBIN HOOD MOVIE EVER MADE!
-
The Fellowship reach the sanctuary of Lothlorien, where they can mourn the passing of Gandalf The Grey.
'What do they sing?' asks Frodo.
'A lament for Gandalf. I would tell more but for me the pain is too near' replies Legolas.
'Then I will tell' interjects Boromir 'Tis the Exotic Wailing Bitch. Bitch shows up whenever someone dies. BITCH! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!' -
Why the hell didn't he keep the longer hair for this. Looks too much like Maximus prancing about as Robin Hood with the Ceasar haircut.
-
Abom, you glory boy! How the devil are you?
-
really really looved a womaaan.
-
We're in Heaven.
-
You all know it.
-
So used to watcing him in The Crow, Alien Resurrection, basquiat, Dead Man, even metro. Forgot he was in costner[.
-
Ah, now I understand. Makes sense to me;)
-
Seriously, Exotic Wailing Bitch's work in Troy and especially the videogame of Black Hawk Down was spectacular.
-
I think that was one of the first movies I found completely retarded for stuffing in explosions at the end. The funniest I can remember was the trailer for The Scarlet Letter, which in my vague memory ended with a huge explosion, perhaps of a lighthouse. Like something out of a satire.
-
Howdy there, doing alright. I still stop in occasionally, but have been devoting a lot of "surf" time to a new site dedicated to the greater glory of Bale, who can cleanse lepers, juggle otters, and thwart bank robbers with his fists
-
I see Russell Crowe in medieval garb. Maybe it's because he's too famous and acts pretty much the same in everything I've seen him in. I don't know. I will pass on this.
-
Wait... did Bear McCreary use EWB in the BSG theme?
-
I will probably see it.
-
Crowe would throw a phone at Flynn, and Flynn would proceed to tear this fat, angry little jerk to pieces. Flynn knew how to enjoy his fame, this angry little jerk does not appreciate it, and he's a faker. Flynn grew up in New Guyney, and fought animals & natives with his bare hands. Also - 70 years from now people will still be watching Flynn's Robin Hood, the definitive one. This will just be another forgotten version that should never have been made.
-
What happened to that guy? Now THERES a voice for Smaug I hadn't thought of . . .
-
And after Flynn tore Crowe to pieces and Crowe lay there bleeding to death - who'd you think would pipe up. Yep. Exotic wailing bitch, that's who. Never misses a chance to add her dulcet tones to a death scene*.
*Exotic wailing bitch is also available for flashbacks, men leaving womenfolk behind scenes, anything set in a cornfield, and bar mitzvahs. -
Sign of the Times you say? Wouldn't it be hilarious if that shot of the actors driving in a cart is actually FROM the movie? Contemporizing classic storytelling at its best... :)
-
I can't remember the original premise of this film now, IIRC it was either centred on the Sheriff of Nottingham or the idea was Robin Hood and the Sheriff would have been the same man. Either way, making a straightforward Robin Hood film is pointless, it was already done perfectly well recently with Costner. Ridley Scott is wasting his time on this.
-
*Caesar
-
Who give a shit...this isn't English class, it's a post on a geek board.
-
Abom, praise Bale. May he never hear the sound of Exotic Wailing Bitch.
-
Can't wait. Will Oliver Reed be in this one too?
-
I like Bryan Adams, actually. He was one of the last big Robing Hood flicks' problems. Costner's goofy disappearing accent, some of the other cliched shit, not so good. This might be fun. Russell Crowe's awfully good.
-

I was watching Man on Fire the other day and she popped up in that, wtf?? I also seem to recall her in M:I-2 aswell... that shit seriously needs to stop.

I'm TOTALLY there. That guy is one of the best, most under-appreciated actors working today. Yeah, he was a douche in ER, and he was SUPPOSED TO BE.
-
Jun 17, 2009 3:20:13 PM CDT
I know that Scott's track record is spotty lately
by my friends call me killjoy
but...how can there be this much hate over Ridley Scott's Robin Hood? Give the man a chance to show you a trailer for Christ's sake.
Maybe you'd feel better if Lucas was making Robin Hood? That's what I thought. -

Looks pretty cool. Interesting to see where they take the Robin Hood mythos.
-
I'm sure they'll look better in the movie, though. :)
-
Seriously, even when he puts on the American accents, it's just "Russell Crowe doing an American accent." I can not watch a movie with his ass in it.
-
Wow, that pickle story was fucking funny. Looks like I have some Bale reading to catch up on.
-
where the fucking market for this? are people scream for more robin? can't they get enough from the plethora of readily available robin hood films?
sorry but this is one more fucking reimagine we don't need. crowes movies are becoming exactly like kevin costers. i.e expensive stinkers. -

RIDLEY SCOTT IS RAPING MY CHILDHOOD!!! Why would he put Robin Hood in ARMOR just because the character starts off the legend fighting in King Richard's Crusader army??? DON'T THESE IDIOTS KNOW THAT ROBIN HOOD WORE BRIGHT GREEN SPANDEX PANTY HOSE????

egotistical fuck
-
is what is pissing the studio bosses off. majorly. Crowe it seems is acting like a major asshole on the set. walking around the set as if he owns it. Crowe is acting alike overly demanding DIVA.
-
Robin Hood is actually being filmed about 15 mins drive from my house. They are currently filming a large battle scene on a local beach over two weeks. I work with two men who are playing extras.
-
is Married to Irish Filmmaker Pat O connor. the director of Cal. ill imdb that.
-
I actually miss Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Fuck she was beautiful...
And yes, the first 2 years of 80's uk tv series Robin Of Sherwood, with its mystical feel and folky music was absolutely brilliant.
It turned shit when Jason Connery came on board for the 3rd year though. -
Kevin Costner's version is ass, but not because of him. Everyone else sucks the taint.
-
Sometimes, at night - when the demons come; I find myself turning to Morgan Freeman's timeless "Robin Hood" rendition of Azeem, the merciful black warrior. At once, I find him both a gentle and powerful man of the woods. In my perfect dream utopia, I picture Morgan's character Ned from "Unforgiven" teaming with Azeem as twin brothers let loose for the sole purpose of Obama's personal security.
-
I caught a few weeks ago on TNT or TBS. People actually LIKE this movie? It was ROBIN HOOD: THE LOW RENT VERSION, WITH EXTRA LOW LIGHTING!
It was as if the filmmakers had the goal of making a Robin Hood movie that was boring, bleak and always took place in low light conditions, even in daylight. -
Looks like wool to me.
Though I guess wool is better armor than a set of tights. -
Hot on the heels of his amazing triumph with Dances With Wolves was only watchable for Ala Rickman's hilarious Sherrif of Nottingham.
Worse English accent EVER attempted by a Yank on screen goes to Christian Slater. Fuck my old boots that was awful. Just fucking aaaawful :-( -
...that bastard.
-
On TCM recently, and didn't have the patience for it. Maybe because it looked like it was filmed with a pound of vaseline on the lens. Made me wonder though...WTF ever happened to Nicol Williamson? His last movie role was Spawn?? And the guy's just in his early '70s..any clues?
-
gritty, naked, forest fucking of Maid Marian by Rusell "The Ham" Crowe. And maybe Ridley will bring back Sigourney and her little sweet pussy and they'll be the only ones that survive the Black Plague, yeah!

Where is Merlin?? Shit.

..is this version going to be dark, gritty and 'realistic'? *Vomit*

I dont like the use of the golf carts though...I can appreciate
by dogmatic
a good remake, but it seems like they are getting awfully liberal by including the use of quality electric-motored equipment as a substitute for horsemanship.
-
Sidney Lumet directing.
-
Well, first off. They are both actors so it isn't like they are both legitimate tough guys (this isn't like Audie Murphy taking on Neville Brand).
Secondly, yeah Crowe looks bigger and tougher, but they didn't do fist fights back then. They sword fought. Flynn has shitloads of fencing experience people. He could probably parry all of his attacks, disarm him and than deliver the coup de grâce.
It would be like Stallone taking on Robert Ryan in a boxing match - sure it looks like Stallone can take him until someone points out that Robert Ryan used to box in college (back when college boxing was serious). -
Slater was bad, but I think he's got serious competition from Keanu for DRACULA.
-
Neither is Russell. I think Errol'd have drunk Crowe under the table, humped a couple sheep w/ him and left a $100 on the table 'for sport' the next day, ya know?
-
for the WIN. Ding!
-
This is gonna suuuuuck!!!!
-
to go with the Robin of Huntingdon version of the legend (where the Hooded Man is a dispossessed Earl and nobleman) instead of the Robin of Loxley variation (where the character is a local Sherwood commoner).
Either way, I hope this gets done right. -
You are the Leonardo Da Vinci of scifi movies, get your ass back to the future or in space asshole! Fantasy is good too. Seriously only 3 scifi/fantasy flicks and those have the most mindblowing visuals of any movie ever.
-
So there you go. And his "historical movies" are friggin amazing you shithead :P Anyways, can't wait for this!
-
Really, who gives a shit about this? There's a billion versions of this story out there already.
And fuck Kingdom Of Heaven. Any grown up person who can stomach a scene like the one where Lord of the Rings guy comes to Jerusalem and immediately gets bullied by the bully knights like being a knight is like being a high school student must be retarded. No two ways about that. -
Really looking forward to it regardless.
-
This always seemed like Gladiator 2 to me. More trees, less Romans. So what's the difference?
-
You understand how stories evolve through re-telling right? By your logic, since there've been a billion Batman stories already told in comic books there was no point in filming The Dark Knight.
-
seems to be a nice guy. I hope he's having fun making this movie.
-
... that Maximus has a bow now!!! But even if you're right and it does turn out to be "Gladiator 2 with more trees and less Romans" (copyright that line, I'm serious) then I'm perfectly fine with that. More Maximus is always a good thing. Except if you're Commodus... Then you're fucked.
-
Forever War: Taking Forever should be the title. while his historic movies are amazing, he's even MORE amazing with his fantastical movies.
-
We've already seen a pic of him as Robin Hood with the bow and not wearing all that armor. Wouldn't common sense lead you to assume that there is a particular reason for him to be wearing that armor? A flashback? A disguise? Come the fuck on Harry, aren't you a pro? http://tinyurl.com/dzz228

Or better yet driving to a horsie ride. *sigh* I really did like the long hair. The short hair makes him look like Friar Tuck. Wait that's probably the point. Nevermind.
-
The English defeat Norway only to lose to the Normans. We've been Frenchies ever since. Tolkien knew what could have been.
-
Does Ridley have what it takes to slightly homage that film?Yes, he does.Kingdom of Heaven was merely practice.
-
Harry was never a pro. And, hopefully, he never will be. the day harry goes pro will be the day I stop reading this website. But yeah, his comment above is all kinds of ridiculous... But that's why we love him.
-
Honestly - at what point do we get a creative movement in popular films?
-
Yes, Tolkien had a glimpse of what might have been had Harold won at Hastings. I lament the literature that might have been, but I am extremely grateful for the literature that might not have been: Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton and of course Tolkien himself.

Today's creative movement is Superheros and Baysplosions!
by m_reporter
Honestly, a crusades epic is probably the most original thing you can expect from a major studio these days. Even if it is Robin Hood, which was raped to death already.
-
as ahchoo
-
Ahhh-chooo!
-
Sorry, but the middle ages were gritty and nasty.
-
The Normans weren't, they were of Viking descent. Hence the term "Norman" which was a derivative of Norseman. Probably explains why William the Conqueror had the itch to conquer England so bad. Those Vikings just couldn't stay away, hell, even Harald Haardrada joined in on the "Let's conquer England again!" game.
-
just saying...
-
that is all
-
I met Patrick Bergen once. He was drinking with Shane McGowen in a pub in Islington. A friend of mine bet me 200 quid that he was Kevin Klein.
I kept saying "That's not fucking Kevin Klein. Not unless he's had a really rough time of it lately." So I went up to the guy and asked him if he was Kevin Klein. And he said he was. Then, he asked how much the bet was worth and when he found out, he told me to tell my mate his name was Patrick, as long as he got half the cash.
Stealing from the poor to pay the.. well, he didn't look very well off. -
Why does this "Robin Hood" look like an armor with Asshell Crowe's head pasted on top? Where's the real Robin Hood, "Robin of Sherwood"?
-
the Robin of Sherwood TV show, yet again?
-
how about doing The Black Arrow? I loved that book growing up.
-
I loved that adaptation... it went downhill once Sean Connery's son took over.
-
...comes the next step in TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION:A V A T A R.Fucking your eyeballs this very December.
-
Oustanding show. WE NEED MORE "KNIGHT MOVIES"!
-
it was supposed to be a real WTF moment when Robin and his friends role into Nottingham
-
why don't they just let people pay $10 to punch Russell Crowe in the face. People would line up for miles just to bitchslap that smug prick.
-
You know it
-
The English need to be fighting the French. It's what we always did & what we always should do. It's also what we're best at (around a trillion wars, all won).
Unless you're French, in which case, all lost.
The second we stopped fighting them & started pretending to like them, the world's equilibrium went to shit. -
as Robin is a giant fat ass, so they'l likely have to cast Dom Deluise's corpse as Little John, he upped the scale, both literally and figuratively.
-
I could never get over Kevin Costner's midwestern Robin Hood. Loved Morgan Freeman, though.

No...you fuckwad, viewers just demand a greater sense of realism now. Any Robin Hood that has graced the screen thus far has been ham-fisted drivel. By the way, classic film or not, the Errol Flynn version sucks elephantitus testicles.

The Michael Praed parts though, The Connery boy was a bit too effete. What are the chances this will kave any mystical/Pagan elements in? I wanna see more Herne the Hunter.

Not sure about all the variations of the legend, but generally RH takes place while King Richard is off on the Crusades. I believe, in real life, the real Richard spent large portions of his reign out of the country fighting the Crusades.

If that is the case, I wonder if they will show Robin and men praying to the saints, receiving the Eucharists and other sacraments and professing their devotion to the church and the truth that Christ rose from the dead.

I am 99.9% sure I will be missing this movie. Who ever cast this should be bitched slapped. Crowe is a interesting actor, but Robin Hood = Fail with a chance of some boobs and maybe a phone incident or 2.

Why are you wasting time with these bad movies when Sam Raimi's fantastic "Drag Me to Hell" is still in theaters? Join the "Drag Me To Hell" talkback!

I love Sam Raimi. The "Evil Dead" trilogy is awesome. But he dropped the ball on "Drag Me To Hell." Good concept, pretty good telling...until the craptastic ending. Sorry, didn't work. No spoiler here...but anyone who says they "were true to the artistic vision" of the story isn't watching the same movie I am. And for the record, I liked "Prince of Thieves." Liked it then. Like it now. And Russell Crowe was great in "Cinderella Man." Now let's return to the regularly scheduled moaning about this film...

Sam Raimi's best since "A Simple Plan."
