Russell Crowe in the hot 'Robin Hood' trailer (Video)

Russell Crowe does epic uber-heroes very well, the fact not lost on Ridley Scott who inked the masculine Aussie as lead for the new "Robin Hood." The trailer is the first peek at Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood," due out in May. This film reunites Ridley Scott (who directed "Gladiator") with star Russell Crowe. Again, Crowe does Alpha male very well, and we appreciate it! Have a gander:

Robin Hood – trailer

Robin Hood
Directed by: Ridley Scott
Starring: Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchette, Mark Strong
Rating: R
Release Date: May 14, 2010
Trailer Score: 6/10
My Thoughts: Ever since Russell Crowe hefted a phone at a guy making minimum wage and then threw a momentous hissy-fit, he’s morphed, at warp speed, from a snarling gladiator to a pudgy infant prone to public tantrums. Should an actor’s private shenanigans influence the way we look at his art, especially when that actor is as undeniably fine-tuned as Crowe? I don’t know–let’s ask Mr. Cruise if anyone’s opinion of him changed after he bounced around on Oprah’s couch like a wild-eyed lunatic.
I understand that Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe are engaged in a bromance of epic proportions, but you don’t get the d*ck to play Robin Hood, no matter how good he is at Let’s Pretend. Robin

Poll: Who'll win the Golden Globe for best drama actor? George Clooney? Jeff Bridges?
16 December 2009 2:44 PM, PST
| Gold Derby

»
The reason that "Up in the Air" soared off with the most Golden Globe nominations is obvious: Everybody's gone Clooney-crazy this year. So doesn't that mean that George will automatically win best drama actor?
Hold your horses, Derbyites! Golden Globe voters like to spread their gold around. As things stand now, most pundits predict that "Up in the Air" will win best drama picture. Sometimes voters give out a best-actor bookend with the Globe prize (Leo DiCaprio won for best picture champ "The Aviator," Russell Crowe won for best pic "A Beautiful Mind"), but often they don't (Crowe didn't win for best pic "Gladiator").
Globe voters like big, hambone performances, the showier the better, like the last two previous winners: Mickey Rourke ("The Wrestler") and Daniel Day-Lewis ("There Will Be Blood"). If that same pattern repeats, then Jeff Bridges has the edge for stumbling around drunk, flashing lots of ham

Opening on Christmas Day is director Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes. As I have said a few times, I saw the film and thought it was awesome. Great script. Fantastic performances from everyone involved. Amazing chemistry between Jude Law and Downey Jr. A third act that doesn’t suck. Action scenes that sell why Sherlock Holmes is Sherlock Holmes. But more than anything, the film is just a lot of fun. Cannot recommend it enough.

Today, HeyUGuys was able to interview a true legend when it comes to movies. Examples of films he has scored include True Romance, Thelma & Louise, Black Hawk Down, more recently the likes of Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and his latest being that of Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes. On his first ever assignment for HeyUGuys, Adam Farina was given over 30 minutes to talk with the composing icon and you can listen to the full interview audio below.
Points that might be worth taking note are that of the ‘projects’ he and Nolan are currently looking at collaborating on. It has to be the Dark Knight follow-up doesn’t it?! Or is it just Inception which they are both currently working on?
Take it away Adam…..

The first trailer for “Robin Hood” is online.
“Robin Hood” Synopsis: Robin Hood chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard’s army against the French. Upon Richard’s death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion, a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest. Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life. Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff.
The film, stars Oscar winners Russell Crowe as Robin Hood and Cate Blanchett as Maid Marian, Matthew Macfadyen as the Sheriff of Nottingham, Danny Huston as King Richard,

New Robin Hood trailer features lots of yelling, very few tights

The Original Robin Hood, now being remade by Ridley Scott
I assume they’re wearing tights, but the camera never holds on their legs long enough for me to see if these men are in tights or not…
Also, while we can clearly see arrows being let go in slow motion, the trailer for the new Ridley Scott Robin Hood does not show any firey arrows flying at my face in slow motion At All. What does that mean for the quality of the movie? Probably nothing, but I’m in my 30s, so I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Prince Of Thieves (which is probably why I play Everything I Do at every Love Bites Sing-Along).
Other people on the web are making fun of the trailer because it looks pretty much exactly like Gladiator (except with a forest instead of Roman architecture), and yeah,

Ridley's "Robin Hood": The Hero Behind The Outlaw

»
Universal Pictures "Robin Hood", directed by Sir Ridley Scott, starring actor Russell "Gladiator" Crowe in their fifth film collaboration together, is based on the British 'Robin Hood' legend, due for a tent-pole release May 14, 2010.
The film began development in 2007 when Universal acquired the screenplay "Nottingham".
Set in the late 12th century England, 'Sir Robin Hood of Locksley, Earl of Huntington', (Crowe) returns to his North English village after fighting in the 'Third Crusade'. Upon his arrival, he discovers the oppression caused by the new 'Sheriff of Nottingham' (Matthew MacFadyen).
Sir Robin uses his military skills to free his home village from tyranny and corruption, taking back what is 'rightfully' his, winning the affection of recently widowed 'Lady Marian' (Cate Blanchett) and leading his 'Merry Men' of 'Sherwood Forest' to victory.
Sneak Peek "Robin Hood"...

I know that we're all supposed to harumph and say we hate "Gladiator" these days, at least based on the way the fanboy nation reacts every time it's mentioned, but forget that. I loved "Gladiator" when it came out and I still think it's one of the most acutely entertaining moments of Ridley Scott's career. I'm also on record as being a huge fan of the director's cut of "Kingdom Of Heaven," a film that was mistreated to a disturbing extent during its theatrical run. Fox shot themselves in the foot on that one, because the shortre theatrical cut deserved to

When the World Needs Robin Hood, We Get Gladiator 2

If ever there was an apt time for a Robin Hood movie, it’s now. With unrepentant financial institutions back in full force, and Washington refusing to regulate Wall Street’s extravagance, we could use a hero who steals from the rich, gives to the poor, and thumbs his nose at the law. But we’ll leave it to Oliver Stone to give the titans of finance their comeuppance in Wall Street 2, because that’s not how Universal seems to be marketing Ridley Scott’s upcoming Robin Hood, starring Russell Crowe. Instead, they are essentially selling it as a sequel to Crowe and Scott’s 2000 collaboration, Gladiator. (The abundance of chainmail and coats of arms also recalls Scott’s 2005 crusades film, Kingdom of Heaven, set during the same period.) Check out the new teaser trailer and compare the number of elements we recognized from Gladiator to those identified with Robin Hood.

Official ‘Robin Hood’ Trailer and Pictures

A teaser trailer and the first official images have surfaced for Robin Hood, the woodland rogue movie directed by Ridley Scott and starring the Gladiator himself, Russell Crowe. Oh, and Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett as Maid Marion, William Hurt, Mark Strong, Kevin Durant, Danny Huston, and Matthew Macfayden.
You won’t see any tights, “Oo de lallies,” or Kevin Costner in this clip, or the movie for that matter. Instead there’s plenty of sword-swinging, arrow-slinging action set to rock music, the not so subtle trend of letting audiences know this is a new version of the old story.
The reactions to the video seem to be pretty mixed. I personally liked the idea of Scott returning to the popular character when it was titled Nottingham and Crowe way playing both Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham in a re-imaging of the story.
The trailer is embedded below, but if you want,

First Look at 'Robin Hood' (Trailer)

By Brent Lang
Sporting a devastating Roman bob, a man-of-purpose glower, and a veritable armory of medieval weapons, Russell Crowe is ready to take Sherwood Forest by storm as the vengeful Maximus, errr, Robin Hood.
The first trailer for Crowe's latest collaboration with Ridley Scott signals a return to the sword-and-sandals genre that proved immensely profitable with the duo's first teaming, 2000's "Gladiator."
It also looks suspiciously similar to the Oscar-winning hit, with everything from Crowe's haircut to his newly trim physique (apparently he laid off the lager) seemingly d

The Robin Hood trailer that leaked late last night in a low resolution was officially released by Universal today the way it was meant to be experienced: in high definition.
Robin Hood is from director Ridley Scott and stars Russell Crowe as the former soldier who steals from the rich to give to the poor. The two collaborated previously on Gladiator and hope to find similar success with a similar gritty approach as the trailer reveals.
The official Robin Hood movie synopsis released by Universal reads as follows: Robin Hood chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard's army against the French. Upon Richard's death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion, a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest.
