Anyone else looking forward to seeing MM as the Sheriff - after hearing him describe the "evolution" of the role on JR (thank you ibbcplayer) and seeing the latest trailer ("Nail!") I can't wait to see Robin Hood on the big screen...well let's be honest, MM on the big screen...

I'm not sure he has a big part though as the sheriff. MM was talking in a radio interview a few weeks ago and said the part kept getting smaller and smaller with every redraft of the script. Maybe he was just being modest but I got the impression the sheriff will not be such an important character as you usally get in Robin Hood films/tv programmes.

Yes, he said that at first he was killed by Cate Blanchett, then Mark Strong, and then some guy with sword...but MM decided to just go for it and played the sherriff BIG (like the wig/costume he has to wear) and Ridley Scott liked what he saw...so yes MM/Sherriff probably ends up on the cutting room floor...but still looking forward to MM in a different kinda role...
