Sienna Miller is in negotiations to play Maid Marion in Nottingham, a revisionist take on the Robin Hood legend starring Russell Crowe. Director Ridley Scott’s Universal Pictures the project depicts the Sheriff of Nottingham (Crowe) more as a noble lawman than as the right-hand man of the evil King John. The Robin Hood character, as yet uncast, is more shady. He and the sheriff face off in the Sherwood Forest. Marion historically has been the object of Robin’s affection, someone whom he steals from King John. Details of how that is subverted in the new project were not divulged. Miller recently wrapped production on Paramount’s G.I. Joe,in which she plays the Baroness. Her other credits include Factory Girl and Alfie.
