Christian Bale is one busy boy. Mail Online is reporting a rumor that Christian Bale, Vanessa Redgrave, William Hurt and Saoirse Ronan are all in talks to join Russell Crowe and Sienna Miller in director Ridley Scott's Nottingham:
Christian Bale, soon to be seen as the caped crusader in The Dark Knight, and currently shooting the next Terminator film, is in talks about donning the jolly Lincoln Green outfit of Robin Hood, where he will be caught up between Russell Crowe's Sheriff of Nottingham and Sienna Miller's Maid Marian.
Bale hasn't signed on the dotted line yet, but director Ridley Scott is definitely up for casting him.
Costume fittings begin next week, so he'll be either in or out by then. Vanessa Redgrave and William Hurt are also in discussions about being in the film, which is called Nottingham.
Saoirse Ronan (who appeared with Vanessa in Joe Wright's award-winning film Atonement) will also be in the picture.
Crowe and Bale starred together in last year's 3:10 to Yuma. We'll have to wait and see if they will sign onto the project, which Universal is looking to release on November 6, 2009. I think the casting is spot on for this film, and Christian is perfect for the role of Robin Hood. Let's just hope all goes well and he'll be able to play the LEGENDARY role. Haven't seen a good Robin Hood film since Prince of Thieves with Kevin Costner.

Russell Crowe's accent already resembles something that would fit in another version Robin Hood... though he'll probably have to drop some of that girth he developed for Body of Lies
