USA Today offers up a first look at Russell Crowe in costume on the set of Ridley Scott's Robin Hood flick...Producer Brian Grazer. explains the look:
"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"
Where Crowe ranks with past Hood legends of Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks is anyone's guess but he looks fine doesn't he...
How Grazer sees the film:
"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."
He also promises Cate Blanchett's Marion character won't be some whimpering damsel in distress:
"We just shot a scene where Maid Marion fires a flaming bow and arrow into the night sky."
There's also a lot of Gladiator comparisons going on...
The new movie is scheduled to hit theaters on May 14th, 2010.
