Is this guy not the busiest in Hollywood now a days??? Christian Bale is Robin Hood in Nottingham? Mail Online is reporting a rumor that Christian Bale, Vanessa Redgrave, William Hurt and Saoirse Ronan are all in talks to join Russell Crowe and Sienna Miller in director Ridley Scott's Nottingham: Christian Bale, soon to be seen as the caped crusader in The Dark Knight, is in talks about donning the jolly Lincoln Green outfit of Robin Hood, where he will be part of a menage a trois between Russell Crowe's Sheriff of Nottingham and Sienna Miller's Maid Marian. Nothing is signed for Bale, but director Ridley Scott is exceedingly keen to cast him. Costume fittings begin next week, so he'll be either in or out by then. Vanessa Redgrave and William Hurt are also in discussions about being in the film, which is called Nottingham. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=46191
He'd be a perfect Robin Hood IMO! Sounds like a good cast thanks for posting, didn't even know a Robin Hood was in the works.
UPDATE: Ain't It Cool News is denying the rumors although they have no specific source, and Latino Review now reports from their own sources that Russell Crowe would like Sam Riley, who played Joy Division singer Ian Curtis in Control, to play the part of Robin Hood. Stay tuned as this story develops and the film gets closer to production. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=46191
Christian Bale, Russell Crowe, and Ridley Scott. Damn that's a hell of a team. I'll at least remember to seek out the reviews of this one.
