Building Character

Hot off of this casting news for Ridley Scott's Nottingham London's Daily Mail reports that the director wants to cast none other than Christian Bale as Robin Hood in his reinvention of the legend.

Flipping the story upside down-Russell Crowe plays the Sheriff of Nottingham as a more noble character forced to work for a tyrant and Hood will be portrayed as a much darker and sinister rouge than previous incarnations.

How cool would that be! 2 of my favorite actors going after each other as Hero/Villain...Bale is something else--The Dark Knight, then John Connor in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins and now maybe this...Wow!! Stay Tuned To See If This Becomes Official

Vanessa Redgrave, William Hurt and Saoirse Ronan will also apparently appear in the "Hood".
