Robin Hood is a 2010 historical action-adventure film based on the Robin Hood legend, directed by Ridley Scott and written by Brian Helgeland, which was based on a story written by Helgeland and the writing duo of Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris. Produced by Imagine Entertainment, Relativity Media, and Scott Free Productions, it stars Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, William Hurt, Mark Strong, Mark Addy, Oscar Isaac, Danny Huston, Eileen Atkins, and Max von Sydow.
Development began on the project in January 2007 with Universal Pictures' purchase of a spec script by Reiff and Voris, which would see the film focus on a more prominent and sympathetic Sheriff of Nottingham. Casting Crowe in the title role, Ridley Scott was hired to direct later that same year. Rewrites delayed the film throughout 2008, with Helgeland hired to rewrite the screenplay, which saw a refocus of the story to be about Robin Hood once again, abandoning the Nottingham angle entirely. Filming commenced in March 2009 throughout England and Wales.
