Perhaps his evil, blood stained booties were just too big to fill, we’re not sure, but following Alan Rickman’s iconic turn as the Sheriff of Nottingham, c🍌inema’s most charismatic villain is getting his own movie, and this time he’s a good g🌳uy…well, kinda.

Ridley Scott is set to direct Nottingham, an unorthodox recital of the Robin Hood tale. Russell Crowe will reportedly play the role of the sheriff, who works under a corrup🐲t king. It's also rumoured that he'll be caught up in a messy 'Pacey, Joey and Dawson' love triangle with Robin Hoꦐod and Maid Marian.

The picture has been scribed by Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris, t🔜he creators of the US series Sleeper Cell.

There is no release date yet, as Scott is to begin production after he has f𒁏inished shooting Body of Lies, a CIA thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
