Director Ridley "Blade Runner" Scott is currently developing his next feature "Nottingham", focusing on the 'Robin Hood' legend, from the point of view of the 'Sherrif Of Nottingham', played by actor Russell Crowe.

"'Nottingham' is the 'Gladiator' version of Robin Hood," said producer Brian Grazer.

"I think it will have the same propulsion that ‘Gladiator’ had - the same adrenaline hits."
