Robin Hood Film Set 2009 part 4

As you may have seen in the Daily Mail Ridley Scott has been filming some scenes recently of what looks like French soldiers attacking a town. So I think filming will be starting soon in Bourne woods. I had a really cool comment today from a background artist working on the sets who said:

It has been an extraordinary experience “living” in Nottingham village most days and I’ve hated coming back to London. We have animals there and this week the soldiers turned out in force and it all came truly alive.

As I originally expected the huge structure at the top of the hill they have been building is now being covered. As you will see from the pictures it is turning into quite the castle! Painting work has been added to the stonework making it look pretty awesome. Everything I now see about this film makes me want to see it more, very exciting! I know Ridley Scott will not disappoint I watched for the umpteenth time the other day the Ridley Scott’s cut of Kingdom of Heaven. A great movie.

Funny story actually in the 3rd picture down there is a Charles Morris waste management container. Well good old Charlie Morris is my Great Uncle. Don’t see him much but my nan visits him all the time. Him and my Grandad set up the company  ‘Charles Morris’ after the Second World War.

  5. hi.

    The Wales shots are not of the Sheriff’s men attacking, but the French army. The antagonist in the story is not the Sheriff, unfortunately
