First Look at Russell Crowe as Robin Hood
Hey is that Maximus with a bow and arrow?
USA Today has just revealed a first look at Russell Crowe as Robin Hood in the Ridley Scott directed Robin Hood, which is currently filming and set to be released by Universal on May 14, 2010.
In the pic, Crowe looks a lot like his Gladiator alter-ego Maximus, but as producer Brian Grazer says, "He doesn't have the old Robin Hood tights. He's got armor. He's very medieval. He looks, if anything, more like he did in Gladiator than anything we're used to seeing with Robin Hood."
Grazer also adds an interesting note saying, "Oddly, it's a metaphor for today. He's trying to create equality in a world where there are a lot of injustices. He's a crusader for the people, trying to reclaim some of the ill-gotten gains of the wealthy. That's a universal theme."
