Ridley Scott will direct the film, which had been called "Nottingham" but is undergoing a title change.
The script for the film has reportedly evolved into a "Gladiator"-esque version of the legendary Robin Hood tale.

Filming on the $130 million movie is slated to begin in early April.

jaceeThey are both too old to play Robin and Marian! Besides, the version with Kevin Costner is still the best, even with his horrible supposed-to -be-English accent, lol. And no one will ever best Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham. Ever. His performance was nothing short of brilliant and the best part of the movie. I suggest just renting Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and save your $8!report abuseposted February 25, 2009 7:19 PM PST
