Ridley Scott says 'Nottingham' gets new title

The folks at MTV recently talked to Ridley Scott about his upcoming project "Nottingham," and one of the first things the filmmaker touched on was the title:

“Oh yes, I think we are just going to call it ‘Robin Hood’,” Scott told MTV. “We start in almost two months.”

Okay, with this taken care of, let's move on to the Russell Crowe playing more than one role thing. Apparently, Scott has some news to share with people about that as well:

“[Crowe as both Robin and the Sheriff of Nottingham] was an idea so far back, way back when at the time I had this proposed to me, and I read it and thought, ‘I don’t really know what it does for it, but it’s alright’,” he told MTV.

“It is better to simply have the evolution of a character called Robin Hood, who will come out of a point in the Crusades which is the end,” he added.

Scott had more to say about the film, and you can check out the whole interview here.
