First Official Shots From ROBIN HOOD

I hope, hope, hope that this new ROBIN HOOD film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Russell Crowe is as exciting and as bad-ass as a film directed by and starring the guy from GLADIATOR should be.   We’ve had plenty of these PG to PG-13 versions of ROBIN HOOD stealing from the rich to feed the poor.   I want this thing to be bloody.

Judging by these first, official shots from the film (as well as a couple of behind-the-scenes shots), courtesy of Courier Mail, we might not be getting that.   There’s a lot of horses, a lot of mud being flung, and a whole lot of nothing getting severed from the human body.   Nonetheless, I am holding out hope for the best.   It’s been a long time since Scott wowed me, and it’s been even longer for Crowe.   Here’s hoping for the best.
