"Sam Riley has reportedly signed on to star in an upcoming adaptation of the Sir Walter Scott novel Ivanhoe.

Ian Softley, director of K-Pax and Inkheart, is set to helm the project. He has reportedly opted to shoot the movie in 65mm, in a bid to recreate the look of classic Hollywood period adventures like Robin Hood.
