7. "Problem is this movie had a troubled history" In response to In response to 5
1st it was called "Nottingham" where Robin was the bad guy and the Sheriff was the good guy. That got scrapped.
2nd time The Sheriff and Robin Hood where to be both played by Crowe.
3rd Had the Sheiff becoming Robin Hood
4th had the sheriff of Nottingham as a CSI-style forensics investigator". Scott elaborated the script, portraying the Sheriff of Nottingham as being Richard the Lionheart's right-hand man, who returns to England to serve Prince John after Richard's assassination. Though Scott felt John "was actually pretty smart, he got a bad rap because he introduced taxation so he's the bad guy in this", and the Sheriff would have been torn between the "two wrongs" of a corrupt king and an outlaw inciting anarchy.
This is the one they finally decided to make unfortunately for us.
BTW it's there 5th collab., but who the fucks counting?
