Cate Blanchett is rumored to replace Sienna Miller in "Nottingham." The "I'm Not There" actress is expected to take on the role of Maid Marian in the heavily-delayed film which takes an alternative look at folk hero Robin Hood.

Actor Mark Strong, who is believed to be playing one of the chief villains in the film -Sir Guy of Gisbourne - said: "I think Cate Blanchett is set to take the Maid Marian part. She is a wonderful actress and it would make it a much classier film if she was in it."

Cate Blanchett "can't wait" to be licked by millions of Australians. The "Curious Case of Benjamin Button" star will appear on a special series of postage stamps to mark Australia Day on January 26.
