Plump Russell Crowe, Weary Ridley Scott Implicated in 'Nottingham' Postmortem

As first noted here a few weeks back, ye olde stalled Robin Hood epic Nottingham is all but dead in the water now at Universal, where Ridley Scott, Russell Crowe and Sienna Miller were locked in to start shooting this month before a flurry of setbacks delayed it indefinitely.

Imagine Gets Into The Frank Langella Business For 'Frost/Nixon'


· Frank Langella will reprise his stage role as Nixon for Imagine's big screen version of Peter Morgan's celebrated play, Frost/Nixon.
