Russel Crowe and Cate Blanchett. I'm a huge fan of Crowe anyway, and doubly so when he's paired with Ridley Scott. Interested to see how it turns out. Should be a LOT better than Costner's version. [Reply]

Not play both.
One of the incarnations of the script was called "Nottingham," told from the perspective of the Sheriff. I believe in that script, Crowe was set to play Nottingham.
Basically, whatever version you read, Crowe is the lead character. [Reply]

There WAS a version where Crowe was set to play both Robin Hood AND the Sheriff.
Personally, I think that would be quite interesting but it didn't garner much support with the Warner Bros brass. [Reply]
Ever see Free Enterprise? Idea based around two Trekkies who caught up with William Shatner. He had a movie idea of doing a full film (musical) version of Julius Caesar, where he played every role. [Reply]

Yeah, of course. It's hilarious and painful at the same time. [Reply]

Two sides of the same coin.
I always wondered how they were going to fit that into the whole King Richard/Prince John part of the mythos. [Reply]
