Synopsis
"Outlaw. Warrior. Hero. The untold story behind the legend.”
Academy Award® winner Russell Crowe reunites with his blockbuster
Gladiator director, filmmaking legend Ridley Scott, for the epic
action-adventure Robin Hood. Joining with Oscar®-winning producer
Brian Grazer (A Beautiful Mind, American Gangster) and Oscar®-winning
screenwriter Brian Helgeland (L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, GREEN ZONE), they
tell the story of the legendary figure known by generations as
“Robin Hood”, whose exploits have endured in popular mythology
and ignited the imagination of those who share his spirit of
adventure and righteousness.
In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders confront
corruption in a local village and challenge the crown to alter the
balance of power between the king and all of his subjects. And
whether outlaw or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become
an eternal symbol of freedom for his people.
Crowe and Cate Blanchett (THE AVIATOR, ELIZABETH) lead a cast of
accomplished performers, including Academy Award® winner William
Hurt (THE GOOD SHEPHERD) as Sir William Marshal, Mark Strong
(SHERLOCK HOLMES, KICK-ASS) as Sir Godfrey, Mark Addy (THE FULL
MONTY) as Friar Tuck, Oscar Isaac (BODY OF LIES) as Prince John and
Matthew Macfadyen (PRIDE & PREJUDICE) as the Sheriff of
Nottingham, as well as legendary performers Dame Eileen Atkins (COLD
MOUNTAIN) as Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine and Max Von Sydow (SHUTTER
ISLAND) as Sir Walter Loxley.
They are joined by Danny Huston (X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE) as King
Richard The Lionheart and Scott Grimes (CRIMSON TIDE), Kevin Durand
(LEGION) and newcomer Alan Doyle as Robin’s Merry Men - Will
Scarlet, Little John and Allan A’Dayle, respectively.
Filmed on location in England and Wales, ROBIN HOOD spans the years
from the death of King Richard I in 1199 to the signing of the Magna
Carta in 1215… One of the most important sites was the setting for
Nottingham Village…Built on the Hampton Estate, near Guildford in
Surrey, the set was ensconced on a private estate with ancient oaks,
rolling fields and stunning topography. Bourne Woods, near Farnham
in Surrey, Virginia Water in Surrey, and Freshwater Beach in West
Pembrokeshire were also a few of the stunning locations used in
filming the vast, breathtaking scenes.
