Sienna Miller Heads for Nottingham

June 18, 2008

Sienna Miller (upcoming G.I. Joe) has confirmed to BBC News that she will play Maid Marian in director Ridley Scott's Nottingham, which Universal Pictures is targeting for a November 6, 2009 release.

The 26-year-old is set to appear opposite Russell Crowe, who is playing the Sheriff of Nottingham in the film, written by Brian Helgeland.

She said: "It's happening. I just found out. It's the most exciting news in the world. It's ridiculous. But there's this looming actor's strike, so it's not 100% sure that it's going to be made, but it's looking pretty certain."

In Nottingham, a love triangle forms between the legendary do-gooder Robin Hood, his Maid Marian and the archer's arch nemesis, the Sheriff of Nottingham. The Sheriff is expected to be a more noble lawman who will face off with a more shadier Robin Hood in the Sherwood Forest.

Boy, does this sound stupid. But, then again, Crowe will class it up at least a little bit.

I love the idea of putting a twist on the classic story.

Sounds cool.

Cool little twist here reversing the roles, making Robin Hood into the villian. And if Ridley Scott is directing, then Im so there.

And I agree about Sienna Miller, she is just a piece of eye candy, no more ...no less

What a load of bullocks... Ridley Scott is one of the most overrated directors in the world. Sienna Miller is a crap actor anyway...

Tosser!

BBC news needs better editors. "more shadier"? Somone needs to be fired.
