Two Crowes with one stone

If you think the bro-mance between Tim Burton and Johnny Depp is only two more collaborations away from a full on Brokeback Mountain moment, then Ridley Scott and Russel Crowe must be feeling each other up in the metaphorical back seat. On the press trail for their latest project Body Of Lies, a political thriller also starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Scott revealed he wants Crowe to play two major characters in his adaptation of Robin Hood. No, you didn’t just drink the Kool-Aid. Ridley Scott ACTUALLY wants Crowe in a dual role as both Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Speaking to MTV's Movie Blog, Scott said:
"He's playing both. [Crowe's dual roles would be] "a good old clever adjustment of characters. One becomes the other. It changes."
The film will be called Nottingham and to be frank, I can’t picture Crowe playing either roles let alone both. Okay, I can maybe see him as the Sheriff but I don’t think anyone wants to see the Crowe-man in tights. Ever.
