[spoilers] Spooks Actors - New Projects Thread

[JHyde]

I wanted to share something really interesting I just read in an interview with Russell Crowe. He's doing the remake of Robin Hood with MM coming out in May (it premieres at Cannes in a couple of weeks). There's been some supposition that MM was meant to have a bigger role but a fair bit was left ont he cutting room floor. (To be fair, Ridley Scott has a reputation for totally changing scripts once people actually get on set and are contractually obliged to do work regardless. And I think the press like to write Rusty as the resident Antipodean thug.)

But here's the quote. It makes me wonder if MM walked into something that became very different.

"I: Is it true that you signed on without knowing which character you would be playing?

RC: I signed on the basis that I wanted to remake Robin Hood. there was a script but that's not the one we did, because doing a story where the sheriff is the hero and Robin is the bad guy is interesting for about 20 seconds."

This could mean bollocks but I do hope not everything MM did in the movie ends up edited within an inch of its life or is the worst of the film all together. I'm really hoping this film gets him some good work.
