Sienna Miller booted from "Robin Hood" movie - for looking too good...
Sienna Miller ("Casanova") has been ousted from the upcoming big-screen Robin Hood movie "Nottingham" - because according to a UK tabloid, she reportedly made co-star Russell Crowe look bad.
The Daily Mail reports that Sienna was very thin, and the producers felt that her physique would make Crowe, who plays Robin, look bad during filming of some of the film's more intimate scenes.
Crowe is reportedly struggling to lose weight that he gained to play a role in another movie recently wrapped, "Body of Lies", in which he plays a journalist who solves a crime while stuck in his armchair.
"Nottingham", budgeted at 110 million pounds (roughly $200 million US) and directed by Ridley Scott, will retell the legend of Robin and Marion as seen from the point of view of the Sherrif of Nottingham (also played by Crowe).
Also reported by WENN.com and IMDb.

Four stone overweight? That's about 56 pounds, right? The clinical term "morbidly obese," I believe = drop dead any second. The producers better take out heavy insurance on his health and life.

Re: Sienna Miller booted from "Robin Hood" movie - for looking too good...
I would not wish that on Mr. Crowe or anyone else, and I hope he does lose the rest of that weight.
From a slightly more reliable source, the Los Angeles Times, comes a report that it was Crowe himself who asked Miller to step down.
Russell Crowe is one married actor who isn't too smitten with Sienna Miller.
He's reportedly forced her out of his new flm, “Nottingham.”
Miller, who was to play Maid Marian, left the movie this week, after being put on and shooting was moved from February to April.
An insider told the New York Post, "It is a mess. Russell never lost the weight he put on for 'Body of Evidence' -- and so the love scenes between him and Sienna would have been laughable. He's so old and fat and she's so young and gorgeous. It's just ... gross."
Word is that producers are "looking for an older, plumper actress to play the role so [Crowe] doesn't look like a paunchy grandpa. Someone in her late 30s or early 40s."
A rep for Miller, who is about to sign onto two other movies, had no comment.
Oscar-winner Crowe also is said to have demanded serious script rewrites, turning the movie into a star vehicle for him instead of a love triangle among Maid Marian, Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Better hide the phones, people. You know how Russell can get!

In my opinion, this is very quickly turning into a debacle that could cause "Nottingham" to "nuke the fridge" * before it's even started filming. If it were me, Crowe is the one who needs to step aside for a bit, take stock, and finish getting fit again. Hollywood will still be here to help him get rich(er) when he's ready.
* "Nuke the Fridge" - we have "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" to thank for that phrase, which has really caught on in the last year.

Agree that Crowe should step aside. Robin Hood lives by his wits, not his demanded perks.

Re: Sienna Miller booted from "Robin Hood" movie - for looking too good...
Crowe clearly has nothing to crow about, and Miss Miller may make a merrier Marion than he a Robin, but I bethinks he be the better actor--but a bit of a big big paunch.
Nonetheless, I note or notice that if it is not impossible to truely think through that what we would fully find in the physique forsuth seen in Sherwood, should we somehow set in the setting, that the trim little men would warily be wisked a-way, and an assortment of boisterous brobdingnagians, big shouldered, huge hulking humpbacked men with whom we would merrily make our mid-day meeting.
The direly demanding draw on a long-bow literally left ones limbs and shoulders manfully or monsterously misshapened and mostly malformed. Skeletons supremely show longbow men looked largely like dwarves--as wide as they were tall. Medieval men were mainly short--especially if they were Welsh--whom we will note were those who wisely worked the longbow best or at least first.
It is indeed strangely suggested that the idea that slim or slender soldiers is simply a modern myth about man. Skeletons suggest that soldiers or warriers from the way way past were padded with pleanty of primely protecting prodigious fat factually faceted foresquarely for such.
The Gladator diet was designed to display fat around the ribs and abs as protecting from the punishment of being pummled by prime blunt force trauma. Thus, this thinking was tried and true in the tales and from the archeaological array of articulated skeletons from such stolid solid soldiers.
Fellows fielding a few pounds of body fat factualy find it fatal in the field of fighting. Males with too little fat reserves will wilt and work themselves to tire too really remarkably readily. Thus, the take for the truthful soldiers was to be fully fat and functional.
But as we will wiltingly willfully warrant, what is and what the audience assidiously aspires and expects is what we will see in curious cinematic creations.
There is a telling tale about the Valentino venturing to voice support about really using real flour for a film in his heavenly hair. Historical accuracy and an aspect of precise professionalism prevailed over good-judgement. Flour in the film fully make the actors hair look dull and genuninely grayishly grave or grey.
The 19th century simple solution was to use cotton wigs, thus the thoughtful thespians and all actors were assumed by the audience that powdering one's hair had the emminent effect of essentially "Whitening" one's hair. Therefore, the gastly grey or ghostly deadly or deathly dull hair did not look likable nor look what people surely suspected was widely worn for hair adornment in the period.
So, what is totally true is truthfully not always right for a reel real film--nor is it indeed what the aspiring audience absolutely believes belongs in a specific supposed setting sometime in the past.
Sometimes it is strongly suggested that historical films have more to say (and look) about when they are made than when they are supposedly suggestively set in past. Hair styles seem to suggestively suggest more of this than other stylish physical physiques protrayed, but since you offered this opportunity, I obligingly opined on the matter of body types...sorrry!

Thank you Foster3D. Historical truth may well be that prodigious girth aided the warrior.
But with the legend of a quick-witted man who must move quickly, I suspect the extra 56 may slow Mr. Crowe a bit. More power to him should he be able to fit that role. Otherwise, put him at the advance of a huge army, and let him bowl over the enemy with his bountiful weight.
Or cast him as little John.

Re: Sienna Miller booted from "Robin Hood" movie - for looking too good...
Dear Drace, I distinctly deign to delightfully demur to your detailed discription! After all, I aknowledge the "August" afterthought that Shakespeare studiously said, Beware of Brutus, he has that lean and hungry look!
However, I hasten to hewn to take a thoughtful thrust at an admittedly tangled and treacherously tangential topic.
Thus, I said, in the perserved previous posted post, that history has hailed the huge man as a much more malicious or deathly dangerous disputant, and I accedingly aknowledge this aforementioned attribute as an absolute, but I will bespeak about a book which may beget a boon or a bombastic bombarding of my being.
I, in an inquisitive investigation, inquired in an ILL request to read a really old book brazenly betoken as:
"THE SWORD AND WOMANKIND" by Edouard de Beaumont in 1882. The first English translation was wordily written in 1905 an attendant American copy crucially coming at and about 1929/30.
de Beaumont bravely bespeaks of the brazen bold women wielding the worshiped weapon, being the "Queen of Weapons"...namely THE SWORD! However, I hate to horribly make mention that mainly Edouard de Beaumont's basic benighted end is essentially to effusively describe why his beloved France fitfully fell to the ferocious fearsome furor Teutonicus in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71.
Edouard essentially essays that Women make History--ferociously felionious females--to be faithfully true to the theme from his Histronic History. Thus, his thinking is that while the sword was a weighty weapon wielded by big bulky men, women would not wield the titanically tremendous weapon, but in France and the misguided Mediterranean milieu men adoringly adopted the alltogether lighter and lighter, leaner and leaner, small or short sword.
Essentially with each and every generation, the sword became lighter, and where it were to wield the weighty weapon required the resulting reserves or reservoirs of rightly regarded mainly massive manly muscles, the truely thin, lean and light lancet let lunging ladies lay or hold in their hands sharp slickly sticking swords to spill spoor from some poor sap or sot whom should be somehow stylistically stuck, so to speak, from such a sly sliver silvered sword wielding she-wolf armed with a slender sword.
Beaumont brings or broaches to prospectively protray or point that the totality of the Northern Europeans essentially evaded the truly troubling trend to the totally essentially effeminate epee or sword, but the beneficent beautious lands of the Southern European environs engaged in a protracted path that pointed to the proffered pointed small, slender sword.
Edouard even enunciates that England entirely never evidenced a single solitary situation suggesting of a forward female following the format of favoring a sword-wielding way with which she slew men with the sword. I decidedly debate his details, but I decidedly denote the details described in his trusty thrustly tome.
I will willingly write that despite de Beaumonts banter about being boisterousily antithetical to any annoying female who favors a foil, his highly readable history is nonetheless notable in nicely or highly hailing of the ferocious fencing females whom he factually finds to favor in his non-fictional format.
More to say, but I will see if this theme will tend to garner any respectful or resentful response?
