We heard that Russel Crowe was on board to play both Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham, because they would be the same person.

Crowe, much to the confusion of seemingly everyone but Ridley, play both the Sheriff (who was going to be portrayed as a decent man) and Robin Hood (who was going to be portrayed as a ruthless vigilante) - but the Sheriff and Robin were going to actually be the same person. Or something like that. Or maybe not. Nobody was really sure what the hell Ridley was talking about, so whatever. It doesn’t matter anyway, because that is all being thrown out window, as Ridley revealed to MTV the other day. In fact, the focus is being shifted back to the hooded hero and the film will ...

... According to the MTV Movies Blog, Scott has changed the title to plain ol’ “Robin Hood,” ditched the dual-role concept, and in fact, ditched the whole “revisionist take/Sheriff-centric” idea in favor of what appears to be a pretty standard issue Robin Hood movie–robs from the rich, gives to the poor, is handy with a bow and arrow. In fact, the Sheriff will barely even get villain status–this time it’s all about England vs. France. Here’s what he means: ...

... and titled Nottingham , was a movie that really had my attention. I really got into the idea of telling the story from the villains point of view, and possibly showing the Sheriff of Nottingham in a different light. I also really liked the rumored idea of Crowe playing dual roles, as both Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Well, it turns out very little of what we knew about Scotts film is true, and the resulting picture isnt quite as interesting conceptually as Id hoped. MTVs Movies Blog chatted with Scott recently, where he revealed that his next picture is ...

... and that should instantly give you an idea of what else is happening with the film. The first is that the idea of Russell Crowe playing both the Sheriff and the Robin Hood and therefore reworking the mythology to show Robin Hood as being the Sheriff in disguise, is out the window. A big "phew" on that score everyone, because that idea didn't sound at all workable, never mind if it was any good, and it really didn't sound good at all. Ridley Scott has revealed to MTV through Total Film that this idea was a bit further back in time and things are ...

[edit] So, rather than the Robin-vs.-Sheriff showdowns we’ve come to expect from “Robin Hood” movies, Scott has instead employed the history of the time to make an entire country the villain. “It is from France. It is the French,” he insisted. “The villain is much bigger in that sense; much more important, and much more dangerous.” ...says THIS ARTICLE over at MTV's Movie Blog.

Nottingham Is Now Robin Hood (And Less Interesting)
Screen Rant —
... earnestness. While that is not always a bad thing I feel that Scott has decided to make a film that would be easier for him to make in a genre, tone and time frame that won’t stretch his range. While most directors would see a film like this a challenge, Scott has made historical epics his stock in trade over the past decade or so. For him to make something with pace, adventure and wit would be the real challenge!
For that reason alone - I’m annoyed.
