We've been hearing about Ridely Scott's revisionist take on ROBIN HOOD for a while now & many different names were rumored to be in contention for the "Robin" role (most persistently Christian Bale).

One indication from CHUD (HERE) told us that Robin would actually be played by the same guy portraying The Sheriff of Nottingham - Russell Crowe.

Well, Scott has finally resolved the issue once and for all by revealing who he cast as Robin Hood to MTV. And..it's just like CHUD said:

The news comes straight from the helmer himself, with Scott revealing “He’s playing both!” 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.”

...says THIS ARTICLE at MTV.

So there you have it...
