Cate Blanchett Signs On For Recession-Free ‘Robin Hood’ With Russell Crowe And Ridley Scott

British actor Mark Strong was correct and wasn’t lying. Cate Blanchett will fill in for Sienna Miller as Maid Marian for Ridley Scott’s “Nottingham”, err, “Robin Hood.”

Russell Crowe is now only playing Robin and not also the Sheriff of Notthingham as once ridiculously planned. Shooting begins in April. The budget is… holy shit… $130 million. Apparently there’s no recession in the U.K. [Variety]
