Ridley Scott’s revisionist version of “Nottingham,” starring Russell Crowe as the heroic sherrif, is being indefiniately postponed, The Hollywood Reporter’s Gregg Goldstein Defamer’s Stu Van Airsdale scooped. THR later carried Universal’s statement it was scrapping the planned mid-August start for the flick — scheduled as a major release for November 200 — because of the threatened actors strike and issues with the script. But I wonder if it’s because of uncertainty over who will play the still unofficially cast role of Robin Hood, who is apparently a villain in this version (Sienna Miller was recently announced Maid Marion). As late as last week, the IMDB listed Christian Bale (Crowe’s co-star in “3:10 to Yuma”) as “rumored” to swap his Batman tights for a more greenish hue. Today, IMDB lists Sam Riley (“Control”) as “rumored” to be playing Robin. Did Bale bail because of his recent arrest? You’d think Universal would be much happier with the red-hot Bale — even if they have to wait for him to straighten out his legal problems and maybe finish the two films he is reportedly currently shooting. Other rumored cast members include Oscar winners William Hurt and Vanessa Redgrave and Oscar nominee Saorise Ronan.
