Cate Blanchett is to play Maid Marian in a Robin Hood remake starring Russell Crowe.
The 39-year-old will play the outlaw's love interest in the film, which sees New Zealand-born Crowe team with British director Ridley Scott again following earlier movies including Gladiator and American Gangster.
Initial reports about the film said Crowe would star as Robin Hood's arch-enemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham, in a film to be called Nottingham.
However, Crowe is now expected to play the English outlaw who robs the rich to give to the poor.
The movie is also set for a title change.
