Article Excerpt:

Slowly but surely, Ridley Scott's Nottingham is inching towards a theater near you. Whereas Steven Spielberg made both War of the Worlds and Munich in the same calendar year - that's absurd, by the way - Scott has been taking his time with his Robin Hood update, which will be told from the perspective of the Sheriff of Nottingham (Russell Crowe).

And while I haven't seen a report of who's playing Robin Hood (I guess there has to be one, right?), we now know who Maid Marian will be: "It's happening. I just found out. It's the most exciting news in the world," gushed Sienna Miller to the BBC. "It's ridiculous. But there's this looming actor's strike, so it's not 100% sure that it's going to be made, but it's looking pretty certain."

This casting continues a sort of career rebirth for Miller, a beautiful yet troublesome actress who nonetheless gave a great performance in Factory Girl, which was otherwise not terribly substantial. But her public image has betrayed her ability a bit, and I think we have to give credit to G.I. Joe - the summer 2009 flick in which she'll play the Baroness - as well as the indie flick, Interview, which confirmed the talent Factory Girl alleged.
