The eagerly anticipated adaptation of Robin Hood is finally hitting our screens this Friday with the film being billed as one of the must see blockbusters of the summer. Robin Hood once again reunites director Ridley Scott and Hollywood star Russell Crow, their most noticeable collaboration being Gladiator which came out in 2000.
It has been announced that Robin Hood's first screening will be at the world famous Cannes Film Festival which opens on the 12th May and will subsequently be opened nationwide in France on the same day before being given a world wide release on the 14th. Despite all the surrounding excitement that the film has generated it is hard to believe that at one point there were doubts over whether the film would go ahead as back in 2008 filming had been delayed due to a revision of scripts, plot lines and casting. At one point Robin Hood was due to have Russell Crow staring as both Robin Hood and villain the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Robin Hood is the fifth collaboration between Ridley Scott and Russell Crow and in a recent interview Scott described his relationship with Crow "Russell and I are very similar... He's angry all the time and I'm angry all the time as well. We don't mean to be irritable but we don't suffer fools gladly". Ridley Scott's latest film looks set to be an all action summer blockbuster that details the birth of the legend that is Robin Hood.
Watch the trailer now!
