Ridley Scott Wants 3-D Treatment for 'Robin Hood'

17 hours ago | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

"Robin Hood" could be one of Hollywood movies which are released in 3-D theaters. According to The Wrap, a source close to the project told them that director Ridley Scott "is breathing down the neck of executives" at Universal Pictures to give an approval for making a 3-D version of his action adventure film.

Additionally, the site claimed they have got information from a knowledgeable source who said it would cost only an additional $7 to $8 million to create a 3-D version of "Robin Hood." The extra money that will be needed for the 3-D conversion is considerably small compared to $200 million that has been spent on the epic movie.

Based on the Robin Hood legend, the film follows Sir Robin Hood of Locksley, Earl of Huntington, who has returned to Nottingham after fighting in the Third Crusade and finding the oppression caused by the new Sheriff of Nottingham. Using his intelligence and military skills, »

First Teaser Posters For Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood Emerge

23 December 2009 3:18 PM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

The first teaser posters for Robin Hood (a matching quad and one sheet) have hit the net! Starring Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Matthew Macfadyen and Mark Strong, the Ridley Scott-directed picture is (according to the studio) a more “historically accurate” interpretation that we’ve ever seen before.

Following on from the impressive looking trailer earlier this week, these posters feel like a bit of a disappointment. Still, they are teasers so I suppose they’re not meant to be the all-singing, all-dancing one sheets I’d like them to be. Check them out below:

The story of how an archer in the service of King Richard the Lionheart became to be known as Robin Hood, the famous archer and outlaw of English Folklore.

Beginning after the Death of King Richard at the Siege of Chalus Chabrol, the film follows Robin on his rise to infamy among the English Barons »

Penguins, Nicole Kidman and Narnia – Paul Howlett picks his film highlights

Christmas Eve

Over the Hedge

(Tim Johnson, Karey Kirkpatrick, 2006) 4.25pm, BBC1

A DreamWorks animated adventure in which Rj, the cynical racoon (laconically voiced by Bruce Willis) teaches a burrowful of innocent woodland animals to forage off the waste of an encroaching housing estate rather than rely on boring old natural food, before inevitably seeing the error of his ways. Plenty of good slapstick fun for kids and cine-literate gags for adults, although it all seems a bit glib compared to Shrek and co.

Corpse Bride

(Tim Burton, Mike Johnson, 2005) 6pm, ITV1

Life, in Burton's typically weird and ghoulish fantasy, is a dull, grey affair: death is much more colourful and fun, as young Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp) discovers when he is whisked into the underworld by the maggoty Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter). Trouble is, he's in love »

Universal Pictures has released a brand new one-sheet and a new quad poster for the upcoming adventure Robin Hood, which is set for release on May 14, 2010. The film stars Russell Crowe, reuniting with director Ridley Scott, to bring back the classic story of Robin Hood once again to the big screen. In this incarnation we find that it is the late 12th century England and Sir Robin Hood of Locksley, Earl of Huntington, (Russell Crowe) has returned to his North English village after fighting in the Third Crusade. Upon arrival, the nobleman and his servant discover the oppression caused by the new Sheriff of Nottingham (Matthew Macfadyen). Sir Robin uses his intelligence and military skills to free for his home village from tyranny and corruption in England, by taking back what is rightfully his, and by taking back what rightfully is their, to restore justice and happiness to England.

First Posters From Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood

23 December 2009 12:20 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

For your viewing pleasure, Collider presents some pictures of Russell Crowe looking pissed off. The good news is, they weren’t taken at the Mercer Hotel and a blood-caked telephone is nowhere to be seen. Rather, they’re international posters for director Ridley Scott’s highly anticipated Robin Hood. They feature Crowe (apparently fresh off a screening of Zombieland) in close-up, pointing a ready-to-fire bow and arrow menacingly right at your face.

The message here seems to be in line with that of the original North American trailer: Robin Hood is a badass and this summer you should come watch him do lots of badass stuff. In many ways, it’s reminiscent of the campaign that launched Zack Snyder’s 300. I know some people have taken issue with this, but I’m really not concerned. With a name like Ridley Scott attached, you know you’re in store for a »

New International Trailer for Ridley Scott’s ‘Robin Hood’

22 December 2009 11:00 AM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

We just discussed the recently released trailer for Robin Hood, starring Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, and a host of other excellent actors, But, now Yahoo has the exclusive trailer for the international audience; and it shows far more Robin Hood-like action, and even the prerequisite shot of the camera being the arrow flying through the trees at a target.

Instead of a pounding “metal” tune backing up the images in the last trailer, this time it seems that the music for this trailer is from The Dark Knight, backed up with some added violins; and then some much more decidedly British-isle sounding music.

We also get a good smattering of dialogue, including the soon to be classic, “Are you ready to be, who you are?” There are glimpses of Marian in action, the Sheriff (Matthew MacFayden) yelling at someone, and the still engaging Max von Sydow giving his best Commissioner Gordon speech, »

First International Trailer For Robin Hood

22 December 2009 9:15 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »

The first international trailer for Ridley Scott's forthcoming forest-dwelling epic Robin Hood is now online.

Russell Crowe stars as the titular character, alongside Cate Blanchett as the lovely Maid Marion and co-stars William Hurt, Vanessa Redgrave, Saoirse Ronan, Mark Strong, Kevin Durand and Scott Grimes.

Check out the trailer in the player below. It certainly does, as many have noted, have its similarities to the director and lead's earlier collaboration on Gladiator, but who cares? Gladiator was ace, and if the boys want to get together and make something equally rousing and entertaining a decade later, then we say good luck to 'em.

Hugh Jackman Frolics In the Snow (Photos)

22 December 2009 | Celebuzz.com | See recent Celebuzz news »

He's been a Wolverine.  He's been a vampire hunter.  Now, the versatile Hugh Jackman is a snowman. The uber-celeb-dad took his two kids, plus three young ones from actress-pal Cate Blanchett, to play in the snow at Manhattan's West Side Park. One doesn't typically equate Australians with snow-savvy pranksters, but Hugh does seem to have some mad winter skillz. Check out our gallery for a full-serving of Hugh as cold-weather commando. »

International Robin Hood Trailer

21 December 2009 4:05 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

The first teaser trailer for Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood appeared online last week, giving us our first proper taste of the Alien director’s take on the classic character, as well as Russell Crowe’s portrayal of him. I have to say I agree with fellow Screen Rant writer Paul Young that the trailer was a little disappointing, mostly because the heavy, beating rock music overpowered everything. It wasn’t bad or anything, as what was happening on-screen looked good to me, but just the wrong choice of music Imo.

Now we have a new international trailer for Robin Hood that comes in and saves the day by remedying the problems I had with the first (domestic) teaser. It does this by replacing the heavy beating rock music (which was reminiscent of the second Clash of the Titans trailer) to some which is far more suited to the movie, »
