Robin Hood is released onto Director’s Cut Edition DVD & 2 disc Blu-ray on monday by Universal Pictures International Entertainment.
Directed by Sir Ridley Scott with Russell Crowe (State of Play, Gladiator) as Robin, along with a stellar cast including: Academy Award® winner Cate Blanchett (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Elizabeth), Mark Strong (Kick Ass, Sherlock Holmes) and William Hurt (Hulk, Vantage Point). Robin Hood is the must have epic action adventure film of the year.
In 13th century England, Robin (Crowe) and his band of marauders confront corruption in a local village and lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of world power. ROBIN HOOD chronicles the life of an expert archer 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 Marian (Blanchett), a woman sceptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest. Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marian and salvage the village, Robin and his comrades from the crusades begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff. This is the telling of how Robin became the outlaw we know today.
Director’s Cut Edition is released on DVD & Blu-ray on 20th September 2010.
