As previously reported, Russell Crowe will somehow play both Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham in the upcoming film, Nottingham.

How is that possible?!?

Producer Brian Grazer (pictured) explained it to MTV:

“The two role confusion is that what Robin Hood does is he sees Nottingham in battle very early in the movie and Nottingham dies. And Robin Hood takes over the identity of Nottingham. Thats how it plays out.” Grazer said, adding that the film is “an origin story” for the characters.

It's also a confusing story, evidently.
