Robin Hood trailer

Few films earn my immediate attention like a Ridley Scott film… especially when the film involves horses, swords, and Russell Crowe in total gon’-f*ck-shit-up mode.

Below is our first look at the trailer for ROBIN HOOD. And I think as we’ve all suspected from the get-go, it heavily recalls Scott’s KINGDOM OF HEAVEN and GLADIATOR (and I don’t know, there’s even a little something of LEGEND there to me). The 72-year-old British director obviously knows how to make these types of films in his sleep, and oddly enough, I don’t feel like it’s become old hat yet. Watching a master craftsman do what he does best is a good thing.

Also, The Courier-Mail has gotten hold of 8 new photos from the film, including the one above. Check ’em all out RIGHT HERE.

ROBIN HOOD is set to open May 14, 2010. For an HD version of the trailer, CLICK HERE.
