It might be surprising for most, if not all, but Russell Crowe has confirmed rurmors that he will play the part of both Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham, however ludicrous that may sound.

He confirmed this at the LA premiere for Body of Lies over the weekend. Crowe commented that the dual roles are “a good old clever adjustment of characters… one becomes the other… it changes.”

No further details were given, though he does talk about the delay, noting that they are trying to do the “best” version of the immortal tale, which is causing it to take much time.
