A bootleg version of this Robin Hood trailer showed up late last night but the swiftness with which Universal took it down from YouTube led me to believe the official version would be online soon and sure enough here it is via Apple along with the first three photos from the film.
Robin Hood is directed by Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe stars as the title character as the film chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard’s army against the French. Upon Richard’s death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion (Cate Blanchett), a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest. Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life. Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff.
William Hurt, Mark Strong, Mark Addy, Oscar Isaac and Max von Sydow also star. The film hits theaters on May 14, 2010.
I have added the trailer directly below and the photos can be viewed right here.
You can also watch the trailer in high definition at Apple.
