Danny Huston is joining the cast of Universal and Imagine’s untitled
Robin Hood
movie, which Ridley Scott is now directing in England.
Russell Crowe plays the legendary folk hero in the latest retelling of the Robin Hood myth being written by Ethan Reiff & Cyrus Voris and Brian Helgeland. Imagine’s Brian Grazer is producing along with Scott and Crowe.
Huston will step into the shoes of the historical figure King Richard, who became known as Richard the Lionheart because of his exploits in the Third Crusade.
Huston appeared this summer on the big screen in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” playing Wolverine’s nemesis William Stryker, and recently finished work on “Clash of the Titans,” in which he plays Poseidon.
He is repped by ICM, Julian Belfrage Associates and Laina Cohn.
