Oscar Isaac on what makes this Robin Hood Different.

Academy Award® winner RUSSELL CROWE reunites with his blockbuster Gladiator director, film- making legend RIDLEY SCOTT, for the epic action- adventure Robin Hood. Joining with Oscar®-winning producer BRIAN GRAZER (A Beautiful Mind, American Gangster) and Oscar®-winning screen- writer BRIAN HELGELAND (L.A. Confidential, Green Zone), they tell the story of the legendary figure known by generations as Robin Hood, whose exploits have endured in popular mythology and ignited the imagination of those who share his spirit of adventure and righteousness.
In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders confront corruption in a local village and challenge the crown to alter the balance of power between the king and all of his subjects. And whether outlaw or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal symbol of freedom for his people.
Robin Hood chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard Is army against the French. Upon Richards death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a
despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls 12
for the spirited widow Lady Marion (Oscar® winner Cate Blanchett of The Aviator, Elizabeth), a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest. Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assem- bles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life.

Classically trained with an internationally diverse heritage, OSCAR ISAAC (Prince John) is poised to take Hollywood by storm. He recently finished shooting the lead in the Warner Bros. feature Sucker Punch, for di- rector Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300).

Hudgens, Carla Gugino and Jon Hamm. In Agora, directed by Academy Award® winner

Isaac also stars as Nobel Peace Prize winner José Ramos-Horta in Balibo. It is based on the true story about the young revolutionary leader who befriended Roger East, an Australian journalist investigating the suspicious deaths of five of his fellow countrymen.
His first starring role was as Shiv, opposite Paddy Considine and Radha Mitchell, in the critically lauded Pu-239 from HBO Films.

Burns, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2006 and aired on HBO in 2007.
