Looks like the Russel Crowe version didn’t do well but the Costner version did pretty well.
I read that the original script Crowe’s “Robin Hood” was made from was called “Nottingham.” It followed the Sheriff of Nottingham investigating a series of murders based on 13th Century techniques (the writer was a history buff, apparently). The murders point to Robin Hood, but he eventually determines it was a setup. Robin Hood was even supposed to be portrayed as a scummy criminal. The film’s third act was woven into a real-life battle, too, where the Sheriff confronts the killer.
It sounded really interesting. Then it got picked up by Ridley Scott and he changed absolutely everything thus giving us the generic Crowe piece of crap.
