Yahoo has premiered the new full trailer for director Ridley Scott’s take on Robin Hood.
Russell Crowe stars as the titular hero along with Cate Blanchett (Maid Marion), Kevin Durand (Little John), Mark Strong (Sir Godfrey), Matthew Macfadyen (Sheriff of Nottingham), William Hurt (William Marshall), Danny Huston (King Richard) and Scott Grimes (Will Scarlett). Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential, Man on Fire) wrote the screenplay.
I’d say it looks good, although after Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven if we really need another historical war/action film from Ridley Scott. The aesthetic is the same, and we’ve already seen similar duels and bigger battles, only this time the action will be PG-13. I realize it’s generally a different story, but after watching the trailer I can’t help but feel I’ve already seen this, and perhaps in better form.
Robin Hood is scheduled for release on May 14th, 2010.
