Meanwhile, the Sheriff of Nottingham, the main rival of the good arrows, only a small part. However, Crowe said, the main core of the origin of Robin Hood character is maintained. "Namely, Robin robbed the rich and give to the poor. We keep it fixed, "he asserted. "But, in this film, we do not openly express it," he added.

Directed by Scott says she is changing the significant number of characters and plot of a story about Robin Hood because no one could show the original character of Robin Hood. "In fact, if he (Robin) is real or not, none of which could confirm or deny it," he said. Scott including those convinced that Robin Hood actually "be real". "Could be, that the story conveyed word of mouth as a form of resistance of the people of royal despotism and the nobility. No one can be sure, "he said.

Robin's first film, starring Errol Flynn's debut in 1938. Flynn returned to star in Robin Hood character in 1948 (The Prince of Thieves) and in 1954 (The Men of Sherwood Forest). Character is what then firmly implanted in the minds of the public. "He (Errol) like Sean Connery who played James Bond," said Allen W. Wright, a mania Robin Hood.
