Cate Blanchett will play Maid Marian in Ridley Scott’s new Robin Hood movie, which is set to star Russell Crowe as the famed thief.
What was once a twist on the Robin Hood mythology that would have had Crowe playing a sympathetic Sheriff of Nottingham has turned into a more straightforward Robin Hood origin story that will more closely follow the historical facts of the period.
In the old version, Sienna Miller was to play Marian, and names as varied as Christian Bale and Sam Riley were bandied about to play Robin Hood.
The new film, which begins shooting in April, will get a $130 million budget and is aiming for a PG-13 rating.
