While thespian Christian Bale was more a mutual friend with Russell Crowe in last year's 3:10 to Yuma instead of a true enemy, it seems the two may be facing off against each other very soon in Nottingham, the upcoming reworking of the Robin Hood story by director Ridley Scott. Mail Online is reporting that Christian Bale, Vanessa Redgrave, William Hurt and Saoirse Ronan may be joining leading stars Russell Crowe and Sienna Miller in the film, where Crowe is playing the Sheriff of Nottingham and Miller is playing Maid Marian. Who's playing Robin? Well, it could be Christian Bale...
Christian Bale, soon to be seen as the caped crusader in The Dark Knight, is in talks about donning the jolly Lincoln Green outfit of Robin Hood, where he will be part of a menage a trois between Russell Crowe's Sheriff of Nottingham and Sienna Miller's Maid Marian.
Nothing is signed for Bale, but director Ridley Scott is exceedingly keen to cast him.
Costume fittings begin next week, so he'll be either in or out by then. Vanessa Redgrave and William Hurt are also in discussions about being in the film, which is called Nottingham.
Saoirse Ronan (who appeared with Vanessa in Joe Wright's award-winning film Atonement) will also be in the picture.
