Ridley Scott’s NOTTINGHAM Is Not-Happening-Man!
Ridley Scott’s Nottingham, a revisionist take on the Robin Hood legend with the Sheriff of Nottingham as a good guy, with Russell Crowe as Nottingham and Sienna Miller as Maid Marian, was shaping up to head into production in the last week of August this year but now Universal has put the movie on hold, and given no future date as to when cameras will re-roll. According to EmpireOnline:
“… Three reasons have been given for the delay. Firstly, the script, which was originally written by Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris and then polished by Brian Helgeland, is not yet up to the standard that the studio would like. Secondly, the possibility of a strike by the Screen Actors’ Guild could mean that filming would have to stop before it was finished. Thirdly, there are concerns that if the production doesn’t hold off until next spring then the forest locations will not have the required verdant lushness. Apparently no matter how much you pay them you can’t force a tree to be green when it doesn’t want to. ”
When it does kick back into production will there still be room in Crowe and company’s schedules to pick back up or in a year’s time will we be looking at an entirely new cast and maybe even a director? After all, Ridley Scott has one of the busiest slates of any director presently. His planned adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian may be fast-tracked or could he can push on with that bat-shit crazy sounding Monopoly movie he’s been talking up in the last few months.
