Robin Hood

In a bit of casting news, Cate Blanchett has been confirmed as Maid Marian in the Robin Hood movie to be directed by Ridley Scott. I've always been a huge Cate fan because...well, look at her:

Oh, and there's also that thing about being incredibly talented too. Originally, Sienna Miller was attached to the role, but dropped out last year (talk about dodging a missile). Blanchett will star opposite Russell Crowe who will be playing Robin of Loxley. I've never understood the attraction to Russell Crowe, so I'm crossing my fingers there won't be anything involving tights in this movie.

  1. Woah, Russell Crowe as Robin Hood? That seems to be questionable casting to me--although I do agree that Cate Blanchett is amazing! I hope they do this movie with English accents, unlike Kevin Costner's version in the early '90s...
