CROWE: ‘SCOTT EPIC WILL BE TRUE TO HISTORY’
Oscar-winner RUSSELL CROWE can’t wait to star in RIDLEY SCOTT’s forthcoming ROBIN HOOD epic, as he’s been a fan of the tales since childhood.
And the Gladiator star - who will play the Sheriff Of Nottingham in the movie - claims the legendary filmmaker is going to great lengths to make sure his big-budget adaptation is historically accurate.
He says, "I’m a big Robin Hood fan and have been since I was a little kid.
"We’ll have a look at the Hollywood mythology and how much of that is embedded in the psyche of people when they think of Robin Hood.
"I’ll tell you this - Richard the Lionheart won’t be bounding up in the last scene and saving the day. Richard was a bloke who only spoke French. And who only spent six months of his 10-year reign in England."
