		<description><![CDATA[Gladiator by the way of Saving Private Ryan, directed by the Kingdom of Heaven version of Ridley Scott?

Sure it's all there but I'm not going to cover old ground (even if Scott is) because I actually enjoyed this trailer and it's the best barometer for the heavy action the new movie is likely to deliver. PG-13 action though, unfortunately.

If I'm being honest, the story feels a little one-note, even for a Robin Hood redo but I'm somewhat interested in seeing how the movie turns out. I just wish it had a bit more sense of fun about it, but I love Russell Crowe and Gladiator as much as the next guy, and if this is to be the sequel we never got (or asked for) then so be it.

Still, I mourn the Nottingham movie (from the p.o.v. of the Sheriff of Nottingham) which was originally promised...

Robin Hood is set for a May 14th release. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I feel like I've seen the story of Robin Hood played out so many times previous in both film and t.v. adaptations over the years that I'm truly drained with the legend now. Each version has the same standard scenes, the same setups, the same characters, the same stock performances.



It doesn't matter how many times the trailer for Ridley Scott's grim, slightly more upbeat, bloody but nevertheless rather conventional looking movie proudly claims that this one is dealing with the "man behind the legend", I'm afraid, you simply can't pull the wool over my eyes. I've seen this story before, multiple times. I'm done with it now.


Aren't you done with it Sir. Ridley... haven't you made this movie before?


I'm struggling to see what's new that so badly needed to be told in this version.

Do you guys not remember when this movie went by the title of Nottingham, and it was supposed to be centered around the point of view of The Sheriff of Nottingham who was intriguingly positioned as the good guy of the piece? That was the movie to make.

Not this Robin of Loxley "crusader turned outlaw, robbed from the rich and gave to the poor" again. Costner's version ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not that I have anything against 35 year old British actor Matthew MacFadyen but if this were any other kind of Robin Hood picture, I would be feeling pretty outraged at this point by his casting in this iconic screen role. 



Alan Rickman, whether it was an outrageously over-the-top and ridiculous performance or not, put his heart and soul into one of the true memorable and charasmatic villainy parts in cinema history which saved Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and made that movie seem ten times better than it really was. Rickman went at that part with full gusto and no fear, knowing the material was camp stuff, and he performed it in such a fashion that the campness was both disguised and made fun of.  

MacFadyen, the lead star of Spooks, who bored the world to death with his forgettable performance as Mr. Darcy in Pride &#38; Prejudice (showing that Colin Firth actually did a lot more than simply put on the costume of unsinkable character first time around) has been cast as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Ridley Scott's now filming epic it has been confirmed by his agent over at a fansite.

He shoot his scenes sometime over the next two months.  

But ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Universal are betting on a 44 year old Russell Crowe and his GLADIATOR director Ridley Scott to make some serious green again in the Summer blockbuster season with a tale about a middle-aged ROBIN HOOD, which remarkably is being made as an origin story and not beginning with the legend already established, like you might think given Crowe's age and stature as an actor.

ROBIN HOOD has been pushed up from November next year to the pressure cooker of the Summer blockbuster season, opening just 7 days after IRON MAN 2 on May 14th 2010, and just a week before SHREK GOES FOURTH.



I'm not convinced audiences are willing to bank on Crowe being HOOD. Not since CINDERELLA MAN has Crowe looked anything like a summer box office leading man and if he is still in the same shape that he shot STATE OF PLAY in, he's gotta him that gym, and fast. 

But it's not just that. It's the whole image of him with a bow and arrow and wearing the green, playing a good samaritan. Fighting the rich to give to the poor. Can we really buy that from him these days?

His time to have played HOOD passed five years ago, if ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brendon Conelly, formerly of the great blog site Film Ick and now taking residence at /film must visit a thousand different websites a day. His reach and grasp for finding news in the most obscure places is just ridiculous. 

Over the weekend he visited the National Pot's Ampersand column and came across the news that Russell Crowe had cast his friend Alan Doyle, the frontman of Canadian folk band Great Big Sea to play Alan-a-Dale in his next movie ROBIN HOOD. 



(he is the one on the right of this picture)

Crowe and Doyle go back about four years when Doyle contributed some music for Crowe's My Hand, My Heart album.
If you’re working on a new house and you have friends who know how to plaster, you hire your friends who can plaster. If you’re doing a movie and you need a dude who can play the lute, you phone your friend who can play the lute.
In classic Hood folklore, Alan-a-Dale was a wandering minstrel who became a member of Robin's band of outlaws, the "Merry Men." He was the musical narrator of Disney's ROBIN HOOD but has left out of the 1991 live action version ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES. 

He is often the character to be ...]]></description>
