Actor Danny Huston has officially joined Russell Crowe in Ridley Scott's upcoming adventure epic "Robin Hood," which is currently shooting.
The Hollywood Reporter says Huston will play King Richard, also known as Richard the Lionheart. Crowe plays the title character. Cate Blanchett, Scott Grimes, Kevin Durand, Vanessa Redgrave and Alan Doyle co-star in the flick.
Ethan Reiff, Cyrus Voris and Brian Helgeland wrote the script for "Hood," which is set for release May 14, 2010. Set photos have already appeared online.
