What do you get when you give a bow and arrow to Gladiator’s Maximus? What you get is in the image above. USA TODAY has the first look photo of Russell Crowe in the upcoming movie ROBIN HOOD, directed by Ridley Scott, also starring Cate Blanchett as Maid Marian. I think he should’ve left his long hair from State Of Play movie. And I’m not sure about the costume, it’s still a bit cliche.. no tights but even Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood outfit in Prince of Thieves didn’t look this obvious
Russell Crowe plays Robin of Loxley in an origin story of Robin Hood that hews close to historical facts of the period. Abandoned as a child, he finds community with the common people of Nottingham. Robin’s abandonment and trust issues hamper his ability to fall in love. He meets his match in Marian (Blanchett), a strong, independent woman.
ROBIN HOOD opens May 14th, 2010
