I Guess Johnny Dep Wasn't Available

Blockbuster Buzz - Times Online - WBLG: Russell Crowe to play his own worst enemy in Ridley Scott's 'Notttingham': "In the most peculiar casting rumour in a year packed with them (Will Smith as Captain America? Cher as Catwoman?) MTV’s movie blog is reporting that Russell Crowe will be appearing in Ridley Scott’s revisionist take on the Robin Hood legend as both Robin Hood and his arch nemesis, the Sherriff of Nottingham."

Why don't they just cast Eddie Murphy, and put him in a fat suit for the Sheriff and drag for Robin Hood? They could also cast Eddie in the Lone Ranger movie and do a similar arrangement for him to play both the LR and Tonto.

I agree with Fred... Not since studio heads decided to have Jackie Gleason play Smokey AND the Bandit (they inserted Jerry Reed at the last second) have they had such a 'wonderful' idea.
