The film – a new take on the legend of Robin Hood, with the Gladiator star playing a good Sherriff of Nottingham – can now go into production after problems with the script were resolved.
Director Ridley Scott was said to be furious over the project’s delay, which was also rumoured to be extended by a proposed actors’ strike and the fact the forest location was not green enough.
The film is also set to star The Dark Knight actor Christian Bale, although it is not clear whether he will be playing Robin Hood or King Richard.
American Gangster star Russell has been training vigorously for the part, which will see him embroiled in a love triangle with Sienna’s Maid Marion and the thieving archer.
A rumoured twist may also see the actor play a double role.
Sienna has previously admitted she is thrilled to be part of the project. She said: “It’s the most exciting news in the world. I couldn’t have a better part in the film.”
