If Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood suffers from any one thing — and it suffers from many — it suffers from being disconnected from the classic nature of the character. Even Kevin Costner’s Robin of Locksley, through the terrible accent, had a bit of joie de vivre. Even he had a bit of fun.

Universal Pictures has released one final trailer for Robin Hood, once again emphasizing the larger scale of the Russell Crowe-led affair. As you can clearly see, they want you to know that director Ridley Scott is taking the action back to his Gladiator days.

If Ridley Scott is doing one thing with his upcoming period action film Robin Hood, it is historical accuracy. Because in those days — I say “those days” because I don’t have time to Wikipedia the particular time period that Robin Hood may have lived like other movie bloggers — everyone was, in fact, a total badass.

Universal Pictures has released the Superbowl TV spot for their upcoming action tentpole Robin Hood, from director Ridley Scott. The film stars Russell Crowe in the title role, as a crusader from the people who steals from the rich, gives to the poor and sword fights to some kick-ass heavy metal music.

The first trailer for Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood — which stars Russell Crowe as the bow-wielding outlaw of Sherwood Forest — has hit the web via YouTube this evening, and man does it rock. Literally.

Ridley Scott is back in the past, working on yet another epic period action film with Russell Crowe. This time, instead of going all the way back to the time of the Gladiator, Scott is taking on the story of Robin Hood.

Ridley Scott’s untitled Robin Hood film has started shooting with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett taking on the roles of Robin Hood and Maid Marion. This is the fifth collaboration between Crowe and Scott.

Known for its fair share of minor disasters so far in filming, Nottingham scored a well-known and respected leading lady to play Maid Marian. According to the Telegraph, Cate Blanchett has joined Ridley Scott’s Nottingham playing the romantic lead to Russell Crowe’s Robin Hood/Sheriff of Nottingham.

Every day I seem to find something that reminds me that this little world of the interwebs is beautiful. Today I was hanging around on Twitter when I was directed to a very cool post by tech enthusiast and web-celeb Robert Scoble.
