Ya know I seriously doubt Robin Hood would have such a LOUD horse back in the day - not good for an "outlaw" although i'm sure they do it to help Russell stick out in the crowd. Just an observation.

STUDIO DENIES ROBIN HOOD IS IN TROUBLE

Executives at the studio behind RUSSELL CROWE's new ROBIN HOOD movie have denied rumours the big budget blockbuster is in trouble - following a name change and reports the shoot has been marred by problems.
The film, which stars Crowe and is directed by Ridley Scott, has been hit with a series of setbacks, with actress Sienna Miller quitting amid reports filming in England was delayed because of location difficulties.
Miller was replaced by Australian star Cate Blanchett and production began earlier this year (09), but the set has been plagued by whispers of a longrunning feud between Crowe and Scott - which was subsequently denied by movie bosses.
And Universal Pictures chairman, Marc Shmuger, insists new reports of film chiefs being called in to make peace between the pair are totally untrue.
He tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, "Ridley and Russell asked us to visit to see more than an hour of footage they've already shot, which was nothing short of spectacular. Russell and Ridley are working on their fifth film together and have one of the strongest and most collaborative working relationships. When it's news that a studio chairman and a film's producer (Brian Grazer) visit a production, it must be a very slow gossip day."
But Crowe has confirmed movie executives have backtracked over the film's name. It was originally titled Nottingham, but is currently known only as Untitled Robin Hood Project.
He explains, "I think it's just going to be Robin Hood. There were lots of other ways of calling it and some different ideas. Prior to Christmas, the studio were talking about Nottingham as a title being well-known now, having been discussed for 18 months at the highest levels of press and marketing and stuff like that and it was a good - what they called a solid gold - name.
"And the question came up: But is it better than Robin Hood? And everybody just shook their head and said: No, it's not."

The rumour mill is grinding....

Trouble is brewing on the set of the new Russell Crowe flick in London!

Director Ridley Scott and Australian actor Crowe have been butting heads since production began on Universal's Robin Hood remake, and it doesn't seem that either will be putting their differences aside anytime soon.

"The producers had to fly to London because Russell and Ridley won't talk to each other," a spy relayed to reporters. "Every time they stop filming, it costs the production millions of dollars."

What divas!

The trouble started even before filming began, with Russell demanding Ridley be booted off the flick because their last collaboration, Body of Lies, was such a disaster! He also was reportedly bitching about his story line, saying the script needed to be rewritten so he could have more screen time!

The chairman of Universal, Marc Shmuger, doesn't think there's a problem at all, of course.

"Ridley and Russell asked us to visit . . . to see more than an hour of footage they've already shot, which was nothing short of spectacular . . . We couldn't be more excited by what we saw," Shmuger told the press.

He continued: "Russell and Ridley are working on their fifth film together and have one of the strongest and most collaborative working relationships. When it's news that a studio chairman and a film's producer [Brian Grazer] visit a production, it must be a very slow gossip day."

Nice try at a spin, bud!
