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.

What!? "he will be part of a menage a trois between Russell Crowe's Sheriff of Nottingham and Sienna Miller's Maid Marian." I didn't know Nottingham was porn!!! Daaaaayum son.



Where does Bale have the time? He's got the Michael Mann upcoming movie, another Batman, 3 Terminators and now expanding to the porn genre with Nottingham.
Bale does it all folks.

Dark Knight owns!

To me Bale, if he can find the time to do it, can be in as many movies as he wants. He, along with Johnny Depp to me, can play anyone or anything. They are two of the best actors in cinema today. And yes, to you nitpickers, I know this has nothing to do with Depp, I'm just saying. And in case you were curious I just blew it with a girl I really like that rejected me at first, then asked me out later, and well...now I'm hear typing on Mania instead of...GD it.

Alcohol...both a godsend and a devil in a bottle. Oh, well, leaving Fort Laudy in two weeks anyway...later, hizzo.

I'm just playing...still dig her...just she won't dig me after tonight. God, why is alcohol a thin line between between being a mack and being an ass?

Yes Bale can be in anything he wants. my Favorite of his is American Pshyco "Do you like Phil Collins?"

Hanso... don't you worry your head about Bale's work schedule, son. He's gonna fit all that sh!t in and he's gonna own the screen.

Bale as Robin Hood? I don't think he'll be able to pull off the English accent. Maybe he'll go with the Mexican accent from Harsh Times.

Yo holmes, what's up with all the taxes brough. Andale ese get the fuck outta here before I smoke you. You ever get any love from your homies? You ever had your shit pushed back in?

lol WISEGUY!

Bale's time has come. The man's a great actor who hasn't really been recognized until fairly recently. I'd like to see him do some comedy. American Psycho hinted at some great stuff there. If he can fit Nottingham in then everyone wins. To make this menage a trois work they need to lose Crowe and recast the Sheriff with Jason Acuna. Too bad Billy Barty's dead.

MrJaw, now's not the time to hit the sauce. Take it from a professional. Now is the time to start experimenting with LSD. Godspeed.
