Robin Hood film set post-production
by Harry Ford
Here are some of the first action scenes from the Robin Hood film set in Bourne Wood taken a few weeks back. The photos show the castle being sieged by an attacking force. The attacking force have pushed the battering ram up the hill to destroy the castle’s gates. As seen in the first photo there are arrows being fired from the castle walls and the defending force are boiling oil above the gates to pour down the murder holes on the gates attackers.
As you can see it makes quite the spectacle especially as it was filmed during the day. After these day scenes were filmed many night scenes had been filmed the following weeks in the tents below the castle. You can see more of the tents and the extent of the damage the castle took in these scenes in my previous post here.
The man standing on the left hand side of the battering ram I think is Kevin Durand (Little John)
And here is the man himself Robin Hood (Russel Crowe) sporting a pair of sunglasses while waiting for filming to presume. I am not sure who the character/actor standing to the right of Russel is but he’s big! Thanks Gordan for the photos very much appreciated.

Harry, as usual, such fantastic job you’ve done! Thx so much for sharing all those awesome on-location shots of Robin Hood movie scene. OMG! The whole thing looks awesome!
I’m really really excited. Hope the movie would be nothing but breathtaking. Sir Rid and Russell Crowe will definitely lead this movie to the max.
HI guys.sorry Gisele, your mistaken.I was on that set that day as an archer, and Kevin Durant was on the far left of that castle you can see, and out of shot.
The big guy I think is called ‘Chick Allen’ he’s also played the German barbarian holding the messagers head,and lets it roll down the hill in the beginning of Gladiator ,and then russell crowe say’s “They say no”. jj
Hi Harry, the set has now been cleared at Bourne Woods and the only thing left are a few parts of scaffholding from the castle……the rest is no more….great while it was there though. Thanks for the great pictures.

It’s KEVIN DURAND not Durant.
I’m a fellow Canadian actor and this guy is doing awesome! He was the Blob too in the recent X-Men movie.
