Ridley Scott is set to direct Russell Crowe in the Universal Pictures drama Nottingham, which Brian Grazer is producing for Imagine Entertainment, reports Variety. Universal earlier bought the spec script by Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris, creators of the Showtime series Sleeper Cell. Crowe was attached at that time. Crowe stars as the Sheriff of Nottingham in a revisionist take on the Robin Hood tale, with Nottingham as a noble and brave lawman who labors for a corrupt king and engages in a love triangle with Maid Marion and Robin Hood. Production will start next year. Scott will direct the film after he helms Leonardo DiCaprio this fall in a CIA thriller for Warner Brothers. Scott has directed Crowe in Gladiator, A Good Year and the upcoming American Gangster.
