The new Robin Hood movie looks awesome — Russell Crowe’s coolest role since Gladiator?

Posted By Hup | December 17, 2009

I just saw the trailer for the upcoming movie for Robin Hood, which will be opening up next year in 2010. It’s directed by Ridley Scott and stars Russell Crowe, which are exactly the same roles they both had in the amazingly awesome and still best-ever Russell Crowe movie, Gladiator (which, incredibly enough opened up nearly 10 years ago in 2000).

This version of Robin Hood looks like it’s going to put a much more realistic (and gruesome) spin on the age old ’steal from the rich and give to the poor’ story, which means that there may not be many sightings of the Merry Men that we’re all so used to. The movie aims to be more of a prequel to the common Robin Hood story, which has seemed to become pretty popular these days in the entertainment industry. It’s also going to center a lot of it’s plot around Robin Hood’s love for the always beautiful Maid Marian, who is played by Cate Blanchett.

Check out the trailer below, along with some more trailers of well-known Robin Hood movies that we’ve all probably seen at one time or another.
