USA Today has our first look at Russell Crowe in Ridley Scott`s upcoming epic ROBIN HOOD and upon seeing the photo one thing is for certain–Russell Crowe is back. Many will argue that he never actually left, but after so many roles that featured long ponytails, big beards, and even bigger guts, it`s nice to see a leaner Crowe with his GLADIATOR-esque Caesar cut, holding a big, medieval weapon–in this case Robin`s iconic bow. There`s been a lot of mystery surrounding this film, but with the full cast set, and this awesome early image, things are definitely looking up for Robin and his merry men.
