The new Robin Hood film starring Russell Crowe, Nottingham, now has a sheriff. 

34-year-old British actor Matthew Macfadyen, best known as Fitzwilliam Darcy in the 2005 film version of Pride and Prejudice, has supossedly been cast in the role of the Sherrif of Nottingham. Macfadyen revealed that he had been cast in “Nottingham” (the previous title of the project) at a public Masterclass event on April 17th. The actor’s agent finally confirmed the role details with the Darcylicious fansite. Macfadyen most recently appeared as John Birt in Frost/Nixon. His credits also include Death at a Funeral, Incendiary and the BBC mini-series Little Dorrit.

Originally Crowe was supposed to play both roles in the movie, but thankfully director Ridley Scott decided against that idea.

The newest remake of the classic tale of Robin Hood directed by Ridley Scott and starring Russell Crowe has been given an official release date.  That date is May 14, 2010. 

Crowe plays Robin of Loxley in an origin story of Robin Hood that hews close to historical facts of the period. Abandoned as a child, he finds community with the common people of Nottingham. Robin’s abandonment and trust issues hamper his ability to fall in love. He meets his match in Marian (Blanchett), a strong, independent woman.

2010 is looking like a good year for movies. I really can’t imagine Crowe as Robin Hood though, no matter how hard I try.

Here’s the trailer for the new film State of Play starring Russell Crowe�and Ben Affleck.

I really like Rachel McAdams, she’s a great actress. I spent a day on the set of this film and it looks much more interesting than it did from the one day of shooting I saw. Oddly they never show Jason Bateman in the trailer, but he is in the movie, I saw him on set. Maybe he’s the killer.�

The new film, Nottingham starring Russell Crowe directed by�Ridley Scott�has new plot details.�

Scott told us recently that Crowe is playing both Robin Hood and Nottingham�which left a few people scratching their heads. It wasn�t so confusing in retrospect given what has been�reported about the script elsewhere.

But now Brian Grazer has further clarified to MTV News how this dual role thing is going to work AND he even dropped a bit of a bomb about how the beginning of the film plays out. So spoiler-scared folk please go no further.

Asked about the confusion over who Russell is in fact playing, Grazer said �The two role confusion is that what Robin Hood does is he sees Nottingham in battle very early in the movie and Nottingham dies. And Robin Hood takes over the identity of Nottingham. Thats how it plays out.� Grazer went on to call the film �an origin story� for the characters.

Well, I certainly hope this iteration of the story will be solid, it sounds a little contrived at the moment.�

The world is still mourning the loss of Paul Newman. He was a legend and the movie world will never be the same. Celebrity tributes to Paul have started to pour in and I thought I would share some of them…

“For me personally, his is the kind of life I would like to lead in this industry. Not only was he classy and phenomenally talented, but he led a normal life. He was also extraordinarily philanthropic and gave back such a tremendous amount. He was the ultimate role model.” �Leonardo DiCaprio

“There is a point where feelings go beyond words. I have lost a real friend. My life�and this country�is better for his being in it.” �Robert Redford, who costarred with Newman in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting

“The history of movies without Paul Newman? It’s unthinkable. His presence, his beauty, his physical eloquence, the emotional complexity he could conjure up and transmit though his acting in so many movies�where would we be without him?” �Martin Scorsese, who directed Newman in his Oscar-winning performance in The Color of Money

“He was one of those guys who was an inspiration to my whole life. And he always came up with something interesting. He gave some magnificent performances.” �Russell Crowe

“Paul was a very fine actor and a really good race driver. But mostly, he personified humanity�always taking care of those who were less fortunate. For me, this will be his legacy.” �David Letterman

“He was my hero.” �Julia Roberts

And lastly a statement from Paul’s three daughters…

�Paul Newman played many unforgettable roles. But the ones for which he was proudest never had top billing on the marquee. Devoted husband. Loving father. Adoring grandfather. Dedicated philanthropist…Always and to the end, Dad was incredibly grateful for his good fortune. In his own words: ‘It�s been a privilege to be here.’ He will be profoundly missed by those whose lives he touched, but he leaves us with extraordinary inspiration to draw upon. During this difficult time, we ask for privacy for our family.� �Elinor, Melissa and Claire, whose mother is Oscar-winning actress Joanne Woodward

He will be missed forever.

A Beautiful Mind,�the Oscar-winning�film starring Russell Crowe and Jennifer�Connelly,�is airing on TNT tomorrow night.� The story portrays the life of real-life mathematical genius, John Forbes Nash.

�John Forbes Nash Jr. [is]�a mathmatical prodigy able to solve problems that baffled the greatest of minds.� He overcame years of suffering through schizophrenia to win the Nobel Prize.

[Nash] made an astonishing discovery early in his career and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But the handsome and arrogant Nash soon found himself on a painful and harrowing journey of self-discovery. After many years of struggle, he eventually triumphed over his tragedy, and finally – late in life – received the Nobel Prize.

[While] at Princeton University, Nash struggles to make a worthwhile contribution to serve as his legacy to the world of mathematics. He finally makes a revolutionary breakthrough that will eventually earn him the Nobel Prize. After graduate school he turns to teaching, becoming romantically involved with his student Alicia. Meanwhile the government asks his help with breaking Soviet codes, which soon gets him involved in a terrifying conspiracy plot. Nash grows more and more paranoid until a discovery that turns his entire world upside down. Now it is only with Alicia’s help that he will be able to recover his mental strength and regain his status as the great mathematician we know him as today.

John Nash was born in 1928 and is still alive today.��According to�campus legend, Nash became “The Phantom of Fine Hall,” Princeton’s mathematics center, known as a shadowy figure who would scribble arcane equations on blackboards in the middle of the night.� A Beautiful Mind airs Sunday, December 2, at 8:00 p.m. and again at 10:15 p.m. on TNT.
