Allan Doyle, Kevin Durand and Scott Grimes Are Robin Hood’s Merry Men

Ridley Scott has recruited Alan Doyle (lead singer of Great Big Sea), Kevin Durand (“Lost”, The Blob in the upcoming “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) and Scott Grimes (“ER”) to play three of Robin Hood‘s Merry Men in the now untitled Hood pic that stars Russell Crowe.

Crowe toplines the movie, which is a retelling of the origins of the key characters of the Robin Hood legend. Cate Blanchett is on board as Maid Marian.

Grimes would play Will Scarlett, a skilled swordsman and Hood’s nephew, Durand is Little John, Hood’s right-hand man and Doyle is Alan a Dayle, who in lore was a roving minstrel and needed help when his love was being forced to marry another man.

Robin Hood is scheduled to begin filming in the UK next month.
