Russell Crowe to Replace Brad Pitt

I AM FIRST…..
IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK WELL WITH RUSS THE DRUNK AND HITTING PEOPLE WITH TELEPHONE.

THEY BETTER TRY TO GET BRAD BACK OR THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO SINK IN THE BOX OFFICE NEXT YEAR.

Crowe is a fine actor, but I guess he didn’t have a problem with the script. Pitt tends to pick great projects. Hope Crowe doesn’t come to regret it…..

Russ has anger issues indeed but it doesn’t take away from his ability to act well. Brad would sell a lot more yes.
I just dont think the movie will be as strong without Brad.

He garnered a professional reputation for being a creative bully nearly impossible to work with unless you were Ron Howard.

In 2002 he got into a physical altercation with BAFTA producer Malcolm Gerrie after his tribute to Richard Harris was cut for broadcast.

During the filming of A Beautiful Mind he made an obscene gesture to a Princeton photographer.

In 1999 he was involved in a saloon brawl in his homeland of Australia.

And in his career peak, in June of 2005 he was arrested and charged with second-degree assault for throwing a telephone at a hotel employee who refused to help him place a call. The civil lawsuit was settled for $100,000 and Crowe’s new critic had to be treated for a facial laceration.

Sorry, hit send before I was finished. Or even started for that fact. Hi to Guli, MF, Sherri, AddictedtoBAMPZS, Briseis, hahahaha, and whomever else I may be forgetting. It has been more difficult that I thought to get back in the swing of things after my friends sudden death. Have spent MANY an afternoon in my robe. But I know my kids need me, so I am slowly joining the land of the living again. Have been lurking for a while, but I am hoping to able to join some conversations again. I must say, JJ has a great group of intelligent and kind women and I have missed you all. Look forward to chatting with you all today. Will be in and out.

Brad was right to leave if the script Sux.

This movie will tank without Mr. Pitt.

Oh, Judy Judy, I just read your post after mine … I am so sorry about your friend. You have my condolences.

Gotta go to my income tax classes in a few minutes, but will be back this afternoon. Hope you will still be here.

I didn’t want to see my Braddy slobbering all over Robin Wright Penn anyway…

Please, please let a Brad and Angie sex tape surface somewhere, somehow…

OMG. Why does this have to be a Pitt vs. Crowe issue? Lighten up. Actors ditch projects all the time and others pick them up. It’s not necessary to tear either of them down. They’re both good actors. Although, honestly, I can’t imagine Crowe picking it up if there really are script problems.

England/UK Fans

Tuesday: 2007 Film with Jonathan Ross, interview with Brad on BBC 2 or 1 :D

Thursday: BRAD PITT DAY, see Brad’s movies all day on FilmFour :)

I think RC is a very good actor. I really liked him in ‘Beautiful mind’. I’ve heard that he is not very tolerating and that he is not the greatest person to work with but that’s something UP has to deal with if he takes the part.

Brad had a script approval contract and he never violated anything. UP just couldn’t wait for the strike to end.

Brad is out of this mess that wouldn’t have been created if UP waited a bit longer so the script will be rewritten to what it was at first.

If they want to rush and shoot a movie with a problematic script then they’ll have to deal with what comes along.

Thanks Jared for the new thread.

Eva, are you serious? Pitt is a terrible actor.

Crowe is a much better actor than Brad no one will argue that State of Play will me so much better with him people calling him a bully an saying he has anger management issues because they cant say anything bad about his acting ability stop hating on crowe he better than brad let him live

Interesting editorial. Here are just parts of it.

“This is more than just a “Brad Pitt drops out of movie” story. In fact, this has a lot to do with the writers strike and while it may seem like a **** move on Pitt’s part, it is in actuality a smart move and a move that the majority of A-list actors that can afford to drop films should do.”

~

Already things aren’t looking good, but the “NY Times” comes next with the sentence that describes what is wrong in Hollywood:

The project was delayed while the studio tried to cajole Mr. Pitt into proceeding with some version of the script.
“Some” version of the script? Does anyone involved with this production over at Universal realize there is a writers strike? If they do realize this do they realize that nothing can be changed now that the strike is in place and until it ends?
I can only assume Pitt realized there were problems with the script and wasn’t willing to shoot something that was already set in stone. I am already anxiously awaiting when all these strike films hit theaters and the writers scream that they changed the shooting script. It isn’t going to be a pretty picture.

I can only assume, even though Hollywood trade rags aren’t openly saying it, that most of Hollywood knows the real reason Pitt pulled out of the production and if they do and if my speculation is even remotely correct I don’t see Russell Crowe, Johnny Depp or Tom Hanks jumping aboard a ship that still needs work to be righted.

MEDIA THRIVES ON CONTROVERSY.

This is a lot more complicated than just replacing an actor. Pitt’s action is very supportive of the striking writers. Any actor who takes Pitt’s place at this point while the strike is still on will be seen as a strike breaker or at the least not caring about the writers.

Crowe has enough problems in Hollywood. He doesn’t need to be regarded as a scab. Good luck to him ever again getting any Oscar votes from the writers’ branch of AMPAS (almost 400 votes).

Crowe is also pretty well known for also demanding changes in scripts and insisting on being a part of the directing decisions. The problem is that while the strike is on there can be no changes in the scripts can be made. When these movies come out and there is any variation from the set shooting script, the studios will have violated the union contract.

The only way I can see Crowe taking this now is if he is still desperate to get work. He may be this desperate. He has had a really hard time getting back into the good graces of Hollywood and now when it looks like he is earning his way back with some recent good work, this wouldn’t be the smartest move.

I love how these studios care about nothing but money. I also love how Jared is buying the BS that the studios are spinning on this movie. Jared, come on, man, don’t let yourself be part of the studio spin. You’re better than that.

CP, you are making the most sense so far. Good post!

lets hope he takes it!

hehehe LAWSUIT?There is no way they can sue brad and they know it very well,and that`s the reason why they keep bad mouthing him,beause they know they should give that money to Brad.

and at the same time they are trying to save their movie with spreading lies that movie strik and script don`t have problems.but I think RC with accepting this role can show what a cheap actor he is to accept the role without strik.

Brad just show what a powerful actor he is,and now many writers have more respect for him and that`s great for him as producer.peace.

RC is a good actor & he will replaced a very good one too, true , Russel Crowe needs to deal with his temper.I think he will be fine doing State of Play.
I miss the Jolie -Pitt’s, I hope, the whole family are doing fine & enjoying each other’s company. They are probably busy preparing for Pax’ birthday on the 29th of this month, he will be 4 years old.
God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

Leona Lewis >>> Bleeding Love

Russell Crowe is an amazing actor!!!!

While the JP’s are preparing for pax’s 4th B’day, me and my family are preparing my little sisters 1st B’day on the same date! :D lol

Slightly OT…

Looks like Lainey has exposed another one of her blind items/riddles. Seems that Michael Buble was the cheesy dude who’s cheating on Emily Blunt, someone who would ultimately outshine him.

I need to find the blind item.

“BP is a powerful prodcer with a proven track record.”

What??? Brad pitt only produced 5 movies in the last 2 years and only one was a success box office wise.

TWO OF HIS LATEST MOVIE WERE O13 AND AOJJ? WHICH ONE DID NOT DO WELL? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AOJJ THAT HAS ITS WIDEST RELEASE IN 300 THEATERS? OR 013 THAT MADE OVER 300 MILLION WORLWIDE?

3:10 to Yuma (2007) ….
Tenderness (2007) ….

Maybe RC liked the script!!

It will be interesting to know RC’s decision. Let’s see how the studio will twist this story.

It’s the studio making a big deal out of this because they know they are up **** creek if no-ones signs on.

If you’re alittle bored like me just play pac-man here at jj, it’s for free and easy :) or go to popsugar and play who’s more famous cos that’s where alot of haters go!

52 bdj, All I had to do was check his recorded online right this minute and he only has five movies credited to him as a producer and the one which was a success of Departed. He himself has said he is new to producing on a UK interview with Channel 4 for his new movie The Assassination of Jesse James so don’t make him sound like he is “a powerful prodcer with a proven track record.”

As much as I like Brad, they replaced him with an even better actor! Crowe is just wonderful.

#51, I didn’t say RC box office was better than BRAD but don’t make it like BP is a king of the box office…he is not and RC bits him hands down when it comes to talent.

:)

Hiya!

A success is a success and a proven track record. Either way, this strike has shown who the team players are and who is not. BP has a right to stand his ground and RC has a right to accept or not. I wish BP all the best and more success prodcuing and acting. Peace to all.

61 kja

shitzy!!! we know you found new name for yourself,Ok RC is better actror than Brad.so what???still Brad is on top of money making celebrity in USA.he gains money more than will smith,more than TC and for sure more than RC.so there is no big deal.

the truth is AFTER brad pulled out of this movie and UP tried so hard to convince him.they chose RC.he was not their first choice.that`s the truth. :) RC is a rebound after Brad for UP.

Brad talks Jasse James tomorrow on BBC2 11pm with Jonathan Rose!

I dont think ppl should be insulting RC career and acting chops when BP whole careers been based off his looks. he just started to do real work not to long ago. RC has better films and better performances

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I wonder how much deviation from the script would be seen as “re_writing” the script. I assume that ad-libbing a little is OK. But how little is OK. Whole sentences being altered? Is that OK? or just a word here or there.

Russell Crowe is a good actor and a script that does not suit Brad may well suit RC to a T. However, it seems likely that changes will be a made to a script written with another actor with different strengths and a different vision in mind. I gather from what I’ve read that almost all movies need some form of re-writing as it is filmed - to fit the strengths and individuality of the actors and actresses and directors. It is a creative process after all. However, due to the writers strike, only minimal changes may be made however during filming. What minimal might mean would be interesting.

Also, if the writers strike is resolved by December 8, this could mean that the movies which have been suspended because of the strike, including Russell’s own movie, may be revived. I wonder if he is able to do SOP if the strike is resolved by December 8 which means his own movie can proceed to film. I wonder whether Universal will bring Brad back on?

SOP is going to be a very tough movie for anyone to do. The original drama was very very good and has a bit of a cult following. The actor in the original series has already come out to say he didn’t think the movie should be made. Its rather like the movie Departed which was based on the Hong Kong Movie Infernal Affairs. There’ll be a lot of comparisons. The Departed was brilliant and held its ground against comparisons with Infernal Affairs. I think SOP will have to do the same to be successful.

They are both good actors. They are different in the roles they play but both are good. Let’s not turn this into a silly competition.

At least Crowe is an Oscar winner.

American Gangster was a Denzel movie.
Russell hasn;t had a hit in a long time.

So are you saying RC is ugly? lol!
And shows how little you know. Most fans of Angie and Brad hate the moniker “Brangelina” and never use it.

Can you read, I said BRANGELINA fans critisized his looks and he didn’t use his looks to get to where he was. You think his work in The Insider made him famous because of his looks? You think Ridley Scott loves to work with him because of his looks?
And what does that have the last thing have to do with what I was saying anyway? Fans use it all the time.

______________________________

I don’t really care to compare these two actors, but to say Brad just started doing real work not long ago is unfair. He did great work in the 90’s on serious films. Interview With the Vampire, 12 Monkeys, and Seven are all standout performances.

You only think he just started doing serious work because he had a bad performance run while he was anchored to that TV girl who sucked all the life out of him while he was “holding her together” (her words). He himself said he was in a bad place during those years and didn’t make good choices other than Fight Club. So now, he is back to a good place personally and making good choices again.

Brad has always been a solid actor, looks and all. Sure he got where he is because of his good looks, but who La La Land doesn’t? All their careers are built on their looks. But looks only get you so far. Brad would not have survived this long if there wasn’t more substance to him than that.

kja -

Brad is an up and coming movie producer. So far, he has demonstrated to have the CEO material to bring a project from start to finish. He has the connection, the charisma, and the clout to get financing, and that’s the most important trait.

He produced A Mighty Heart, an art movie which has critical acclaim. It doesnt matter what you think about him. You dont represent the majority. Hollywood loves him. He is one of the few who has domestic and the international appeal. Overseas is a huge market. We all love him.

94 think positive!

why are you trying to convince them???I bet they didn`t see any Brad`s movies.just M&MRS,because you know for FF people it was pain in a**. :lol: I bet they were crying during love scene in it. :lol:

Was Snatch based on his looks? Was California based on his looks? Was Seven based on his looks? Was 12 monkeys based on his looks?

No, Thelma & Louise was. His breakout hit. Would he have gotten the role if he was ugly?

Geez, lighten up. Your post where you comapred the two and then asked if BP would successful if he was ugly. It sounded like you were asking if he was ugly like RC.

And yes, ALL actors, even RC get their feet in the door by looks initially. I recall how RC was considered sooooo handsome during the Gladiator days, but sadly, now the alcohol bloat has taken hold of him. He’s a good actor, sure I never said he wasn’t.

And no, fans of Brad and Angie by and large do not use the “brangelina” thing. They are called the J-Ps, or some people use their initials. I think most of their fans here would agree with me on this.

it may not occur to the brad fans but….not everyone in the world finds him to be sexy and/or a great actor. i’m sure i will get attacked for even making this very true observation.

Oh sweet Lord. Would Crowe have gotten Gladiator without those thighs he had at the time?

This is silly. Crowe hasn’t even taken the role yet. He probably won’t.

Brad may even wind up back in the part before this is all said and done.

Like someone else up thread already said, this isn’t some blockbuster movie anyway. It’s a political thriller, which sadly is over the heads of most of the masses to begin with. Brad wants it to have a smart, good script. There’s no sin in that.

As if Russell Crowe could ever take Brad Pitt’s place. So sad — Brad has been devoted to this project for almost 2 years and Universal kicks him to the curb over their schedule issues. How come Crowe is available? Projects are dropping right and left because they need the writers back! Thanks Brad for not caving!! The studio should listen not only to the actor Pitt but the producer that was the driving force behind getting The Departed produced — really, really stupid. I read Nicki Finke says Variety sat on the story about BP leaving for 10 days — why — to make BP look worse?

People should stop it now! Why all this good looks, bad/good actor, it’s bullsh*t, Just hope RC takes it. end of

Hey Georgie, agreed. Careful though, they’ll have the knives out for you now ;-)

Sure, Thelma and Louise was his break out role, but it isn’t his only role. Many of his roles since that break out role have not been based on his looks.

Personally, I thought the younger russell crowe was rather good looking in Gladiator - which was his break out role as far as hollywood was concerned. he certainly wouldn’t have got that role looking like Danny de vito!!!!!!!! (exclamation marks for janice).

You wanna blame the “bad performance run” (your words) on the TV girl ok. BP is a “good” actor but HONESTLY do you think he would be at his level of fame without the whole break up AJ stealing him from TV girl blah blah drama? NO his personal life and looks helped his career far more than his acting. Now look at the movies hes been doing as of late they all of them have substance unlike before

credit to alison p from earlier thread

Will Russell Sign and Make Me Eat Crowe?

I didn’t report on Brad Pitt dropping out of State of Play last week because, primarily, it is a much bigger story than a lot of the folks third-partying it are making it out to be. This is more than just a “Brad Pitt drops out of movie” story. In fact, this has a lot to do with the writers strike and while it may seem like a **** move on Pitt’s part, it is in actuality a smart move and a move that the majority of A-list actors that can afford to drop films should do.
The new story regarding the state of State of Play is that Universal is presently chasing down Russell Crowe to replace Pitt, and then there is the idea that Johnny Depp also has an opening in his schedule since the production for Shantaram crumbled as well as Tom Hanks who say Angels and Demons suffer a setback due to the strike.

The film was originally penned by Matthew Michael Carnahan (The Kingdom, Lions for Lambs) and then rewritten by Peter Morgan, Tony Gilroy and Billy Ray. The film stars the likes of such big names as Edward Norton, Helen Mirren, Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright Penn and Jason Bateman and is being directed by Last King of Scotland helmer Kevin Macdonald. Not a bad list eh?

Pitt was set to play a politico-turned-journalist who spearheads his newspaper’s investigation into a killing that leads to a fast-rising congressman (Norton). He then becomes conflicted since he was once the congressman’s confidant and at the same time he develops a relationship with the pol’s estranged wife (Wright Penn).

So why did Pitt leave? This is the question, and if you believe what the trades are saying it is because, during the rewrite process, the film wavered from Pitt’s vision.

The “NY Times” cites anonymous sources saying that “the producers asked Mr. Pitt for a speedy answer about its latest version of the screenplay several days before the writers’ strike, but that he registered his dissatisfaction with the script only several hours after the strike had begun — and just 10 days before filming was to have started.” Another “NY Times” source said Pitt “had rejected the last version of the script on Nov. 3, two days before the strike, and had tried to work out a compromise with the director, Kevin Macdonald, before pulling out.”

Already things aren’t looking good, but the “NY Times” comes next with the sentence that describes what is wrong in Hollywood:

The project was delayed while the studio tried to cajole Mr. Pitt into proceeding with some version of the script.
“Some” version of the script? Does anyone involved with this production over at Universal realize there is a writers strike? If they do realize this do they realize that nothing can be changed now that the strike is in place and until it ends?
I can only assume Pitt realized there were problems with the script and wasn’t willing to shoot something that was already set in stone. I am already anxiously awaiting when all these strike films hit theaters and the writers scream that they changed the shooting script. It isn’t going to be a pretty picture.

I can only assume, even though Hollywood trade rags aren’t openly saying it, that most of Hollywood knows the real reason Pitt pulled out of the production and if they do and if my speculation is even remotely correct I don’t see Russell Crowe, Johnny Depp or Tom Hanks jumping aboard a ship that still needs work to be righted.

GREAT COMEBACK! THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN ON THIS SITE. SO TRUE!!!! BRILLIANT!

Why all the talk about box office? You think this film has box office written all over it? Please. It’s about creative control. That’s it. It’s been done before and willl be done just about all the time.

“shitzy!!! we know you found new name for yourself,Ok RC is better actror than Brad.so what???still Brad is on top of money making celebrity in USA.he gains money more than will smith,more than TC and for sure more than RC.so there is no big deal.”

BP does was paid more than TC and WS bonly because he does 2 to 3 movies a year whereas Will Smith and Tom Cruise do one movie a year. But If you ask who wins at the box office then its definitly WS and TC!!!

Ass Of Jesse James out on Friday England Fans :D

Also I forgot the reason BRAD PITT is the top money making celeb is not only because he does 3 to 3 movies a year but also does TV commercials.

139 kja

every single A LIST ACTOR DOES OVERSEAS COMMERCIALS

NOT every A-list does oversea commercials. For example Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Russell Crowe, Tom Hanks Dezel Washington…..don’t do TV commercials.!!!

You asked how old I am, right? well, old enough to get a CPA license. wealthy enough to live in an expensive zip code in california. thankful enough to have raised 2 children who are in residency training.

no you are so wrong,BP is doing as much movie as TC.two movies per year.last year he just had Babel means One movie,see he doesn`t make as much movie as WS and TC.he is doing less than them.but he knows how to make money. :)

accept it,he is good producer and he puts his foot in the place that he likes not the place for money.

at least you accept the fact that he is money maker. :)

_____________________________

I think he has as good a track record as any other A-lister, Clooney, Denzel, Harrison Ford, any of them. They have all had highs and lows in their careers.

And yes, I do agree that Brad’s personal life as of late has ramped up people’s interest in him. His career was flagging in the first few years of to 2000s, he said so himself, that his life was “going nowhere” during that time. He has charisma, but it is his chemistry with Angelina that really makes people take notice. He is sexier and even more yummy since he has been with her, but it is my personal opinion that he shines more brightly now because of what is going on inside of him rather than outside. He is growing as an actor, and it shows.

There is nothing more attractive than a man who wants to be a father and is devoted to his lady. And people are interested in that. They are all commenting on what special mojo he must have to have tamed the fiercely independent Jolie. She now allows him to take the lead sometimes in public, and people find that very sexy to watch.

His life changes and new perspective (courtesy of Angie) have spilled over into his acting, and I do think it has made him even better. He’s a better actor now because of maturity and having learned important life lessons, but he was always a good actor.

Like anybody else, he is growing in his craft and drawing on his own experiences.

chrisie,
and curiously, you don’t act like it….hmmmm. i wonder why.

147 :) How is he making less movie than TC and WS? TC had one movie in 2005, one movie in 2006, one movie in 2007 and has one coming out 2008, same with Will Smith. But BRAD PITT had two movie this year and like 3 movies for 2008. AND don;t forget he does TV commercials.

Plus the money they make off movies is enough I guess.

yes IWAV was good so was 12 monkeys and seven but look how long hes been doing this dont you think he should have more good films than he does? You wanna blame the “bad performance run” (your words) on the TV girl ok. BP is a “good” actor but HONESTLY do you think he would be at his level of fame without the whole break up AJ stealing him from TV girl blah blah drama? NO his personal life and looks helped his career far more than his acting. Now look at the movies hes been doing as of late they all of them have substance unlike before.
________________________________________________________

YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DELUSIONAL. Brad Pitt was at this level of fame before anustain (sorry still can’t stand her) and AJ. I do agree that he hasn’t always made good films but that seems to be changing. I think he was so busy trying to be who Hollywood wanted him to be that his acting suffered.

RC is a wonderful actor and if he decides to accept this role, fine. But he and Norton are going to butt heads. LOVE ME SOME EDDIE!

153 kja

OK,I don`t accept the fact TC will have one movie in 2008,because he has 2 but about this year and last year I don`t have opinion,because I don`t follow him,but in 2008 he has two movie.

and as I told Commercials are about popularity and look and height.(which TC and WS don`t have)so brad is so popular in overseas country,that`s why he is doing commercial.well that`s another reason why I`m saying he is more money making,he is so popular in other countries. :)

georgie -

say whatever you want, and i dont care. put me down all you want, and it WONT make a dent on my confidence.

i need to go to the gym, and if you want to continue this exchange, i’ll be back in about 1 1/2 hour later, and we can continue then.

Look who is talking BP and AJ are worse!!!

They are selling pics of all their children’s in the name of charities. They can contribute money to charity without selling pics of their children from the money they get from movie and commercials but they dont’!!!

And we only see their bio child whenever they have a movie coming out what does that say about them. God I don’t even like Tom Cruise but at least he didn’t sell a pic of his baby.

BRAD AND RUSSELL ARE 2 GREATS ACTORS .
brad never won oscar , it’s true , buthe’s really a good actor.
please bring tom cruise so far , because he ’s not a good actor!!!!

BP had the looks why didnt he ever do a big world saving blockbuster?

___________________________________

Brad has said for years he didn’t ever want to fall into the traditional leading man trap. He said once they have you in that box you can’t ever get out. He was offered the Bourne franchise, and passed on it. He is happy for Matt and his success at that, but he didn’t want to do it. I am sure there are more examples just like that.

He has always gone the quirky route, and I admire him for it.

178, they didn’t sell pics!!! :)

kja, what exactly is your mission on this thread? You’ve been on for several hours jumping from one negative thing to the other? Never heard about you on the thread before. What’s up?

What’s with all these extra posts about? This thread should have no more than 20 posts. WTF is all the discussion about? Russell Crowe replaces Brad Pitt in a film. Big fking deal.

Crazy eh? I’m all for a good discussion and/or a good debate, but from a quick scan it seems like people like ‘kja’ are turning this thread into an unnecessary fighting match. A decision hasn’t even been made and we don’t even know the real status of the negotiations between Crowe and Universal.

168 truth : 11/26/2007 at 12:11 pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is doing a world saving movie a necessity for male actors?

Sorry, but just the concept of one man saving the world just conjures images of a lot of scenery-chewing a la Charleton Heston, Michael Douglas, etc. Brad’s better when he’s low-key.

_____________________________

The only pictures they sold were the first ones of Shiloh, and they did that to take some of the pressure off of them at a time when they just wanted to enjoy their newborn like any parent would. Brad said Shiloh had a bounty on her head, and he didn’t like it. I mean, really, papas were digging holes and literally trying to tunnel into the resort in Namibia to take picutres. It was ridculous. New Daddy Brad wanted to control who made money off of that first image. What’s so wrong with that? All the money went to charity, whereas other celebs pocket money paid to them.

The other pictures of the children you have seen are pap photos for which they were not paid. The only exception I can think of may have been the two spreads in People mag (family in Cambodia, Pax’s adoption) which I doubt they were paid for.

I know you probably don’t follow the J-Ps like many of us do, so I am not faulting you for not knowing this, but they do NOT routinely sell pictures of the kids. Those photos are taken by paps whenever this family leaves the house. They have to go outside sometime, so pictures will be taken and sold to tabloids.

Tom and Katie’s wedding was a ******* circus act
______________________________________________________

You ain’t woofin’. And that $2 mil wedding dress was obscene. Imagine how many poor people could she have fed with that $2 million?

No one can replaced Brad in this film, I hope Universal can change their plan and wait for the better script and take Brad back.
Russel Crowe was a good actor but not quite fitted to this role, beside with good actors but bad script, the film would fail! example are the recent flops like Lion for Lamb , Rendition, Elizabeth. all A-list, Oscar awrardee, great expectation but great dissapointment because of bad script.

187 Annie : 11/26/2007 at 12:27 pm

People magazine paid Angelina and Brad for exclusive rights to Pax’s adoption. Angelina and Brad put all the money into the Jolie-Pitt foundation which funds their humanitarian activities.

In Touch, Life & Style and US went apeshit after People scooped them out for the photos for the second time (People scooped them out on Shiloh’s birth photos also) and their attacks on the J-Ps ramped up exponentially from that date.

Thanks I didn’t know that. I was sure they do not routinely sell the kids’ pictures.

I know other celebs do sell their children’s picture to tabloids and pocket the money. Sheryl Crow did this when she adopted her baby. She allowed her and her baby to be put on the cover of one of those tabs, OK or one of them, and she even gave them an interview! Yuk! Angie and Brad would never do that, for sure.

What happened to Russell Crown. He used to be decent looking. He’s looking rough and bloated lately.

———————————————————
This is how he usually tends to look. The totally buffed out bod he had in Gladiator was the product of lots of hard work. He is very good at physically transforming himself to make the most of a character. He is wonderful in both his dedication and talent.

209 juju

Really, must be cute. I miss Shi and the gang.

Russell Crowe most certainly did start out as a pretty boy in films. He never would have advanced without those early roles that required him to be the handsome one. The Crossing, Hammers over the Anvil, Proof, the Sum of Us, Romper Stomper, Breaking Up (one of the worst movies ever filmed), LA Confidential, The Quick and the Dead - all needed a handsome man. It wasn’t until The Insider - way into his career - that his good looks didn’t play a part in his career. Crowe’s physicality obviously also played a great role in Gladiator.

Look there’s a whole network of mostly avid female fans who would literally die for Crowe and are very vocal on the internet and elsewhere in support of him. Wherever his name is mentioned, they flock to that site in support of him. He can do no wrong in their eyes. They actually follow him around the world when he tours with that band of his or they show up at his movie sets. Even with all his assaultive behavior, his fans always blame someone else like the injured hotel clerk. it was the hotel clerk’s fault - not Crowe’s. You think Pitt is the only actor with rabid fans? No disrespect intended to the wonderful Pitt fans here.

I like Crowe. I have ever since I saw him in Proof many, many years ago. His Romper Stomper exudes sexuality and power. LA Confidential is one of my favorite movies and he was perfect in that role. Though I really thought that Oscar belonged to Javier Bardem for Before Night Falls, I was not unhappy Crowe got that Oscar as a make up for The Insider.

But Crowe and Pitt are different actors. I’m not trying to compare the two but Pitt is underrated and Crowe is overrated. Pitt has some great performances in his past and his Jesse James is excellent. Pitt’s looks have caused people to unfairly dismiss his acting. As wonderful as Crowe can be, he can also turn in some really hammy, bad performances - in Beautiful Mind I felt there were great acting scenes by him but also some really bad scenes as well.

As far as the belief that the other SOP actors must think the script is okay since they seem to still be connected, I doubt they all have script approval in their contracts so they would definitely get sued if they walked for script reasons. Scheduling conflict reasons may get them out of their contracts though.

Re: Pitt as producer. His first big production was Charlie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory which made a lot of money and was a huge hit. It was also very good. That along with the Academy Award winning The Departed for which he fought to get Damon that role and the critically acclaimed A Mighty Heart, I’d say he’s doing pretty good as a producer. Not to mention that lovely little indie movie with Molly Shannon. So snarking Pitt as a producer is way off base.

For Leona at 11/26/2007 at 11:37 am ” ….[Pitt] can’t even pull of the role of being in love with his lady hooker..”

That pretty much says it all about Leona’s biases against Pitt. That has to be the most ignorant and obviously irrational posting on this entire thread.

As for commercials, when Russell Crowe begins to do half as good with his money as Clooney or Pitt do then he can open his mouth again dissing his fellow actors because they choose to do commercials.

Pitt’s actions with SOP can help force the studios to settle this strike. Everyone in the business knows this. If any actor undermines Pitt’s move by helping out Universal, then he is not going to be very popular with most of the industry.

I didn’t know Annette was there too. I love Annette Bening.

When will Brad finally get his due? This man has been doing this for close to 15 years and has given award worthy performances and people just don’t wan’t to give this man his props. What happened last year with The Departed was a shame, he should have gotten the award, yet he was looked over due to “rules”. He was amazing in Babel and was not nominated. Jesse James could easily be the best performance of his career, yet he his name is not on the top of the oscar contender list. It seems he does the work behind the scenes and others are quick to take credit. Regardless of the situation at Universal, Brad was the one working on the script and helped with casting. The work is done and now Universal offers the role to Crowe. A Mighty Heart would not have been made had Brad not played a part, yet he doesn’t even get props or credit for it . It is truly a damn shame.

Look haters, Do your math! who is making more money ?

Brad doesn’t get his dues???? Boo Hoo. Who cares. Last time anyone checked he was still able to pay his bills and support his family. He doesn’t need anyone’s sympathy.

216 truth : 11/26/2007 at 1:06 pm

You misread my post. I have no problem with the media being all over TomKat’s wedding. I had a big problem with that $2 mil wedding dress, but hey, it’s her money. If she wants to blow it all on a dress she will wear for six hours in her life, I think it’s tacky beyond words, but she can spend it any way she wants to.

Speaking of money, when Angelina goes overseas on humanitarian trips, she goes on her own dime. I have no problem with that either. :)

I am sure Russell Crowe would bring his own feel to the character if he chooses to do it.

Brad was involved long enough that he had a vision for it.If it strayed off from his orginal vision, as an artist it is better for him to drop out and let someone else take the part.

If Russell has a vision for the character in the current script, he should take the part. I don’t think it says anything about who is the bigger talent. It is about different style and vision of how to create the character.

I hope it works out for them because if it doesn’t, they will blame Brad and to me that is a “cop out” because Brad was true to his original vision for the film. The studios should applaud him for staying true to that. It is what keeps him a strong talent in Hollywood to making them millions over the years. T

To me that is what makes each actor talented in their own craft, the ablity to choose the characters they have a vision for.

228 cook

lovely suggestion,STFU dude.

Let’s remember that Brad has invested so much time on this project:

Stop the presses! Brad Pitt paid a sort-of-but-not-really surprise visit to The Post’s newsroom yesterday, and not since Denzel Washington’s newsroom tour in 1993 did so many heads turn and so much workplace productivity swirl down the drain.

Pitt, 43, is in town researching his upcoming role as an investigative reporter in “State of Play,” a Washington-based drama about hard-nosed journos trying to solve the murder of a young political staffer, according to production supervisor Kwame Parker.

Brad Pitt got some reporting tips — and a lot of stares — during a visit to The Post’s newsroom. (By Kevin Clark — The Washington Post)

In his signature gray tweed English racing hat, blue slacks — not jeans! — a tan blazer and a white button-down shirt sans tie, Pitt graciously offered a few waves and “heys” to in-house admirers while he spent four hours making the rounds with “State of Play” director Kevin Macdonald.

The visitors lunched across the street at Palette with Post Vice President at Large Ben Bradlee, Executive Editor Len Downie and political reporter Dan Balz. Then they took a tour of the newsroom and had meetings with Managing Editor Phil Bennett, Chairman Don Graham and Publisher Bo Jones. Finally, Pitt headed back downstairs for a chat with military affairs and Pentagon reporter Josh White and a catch-up session with investigative reporter James Grimaldi– also known around the office as Pitt’s Sigma Chi frat brother at the University of Missouri back in 1984.

“It was really a conversation about craft,” said Metropolitan Editor R.B. Brenner, who is consulting for the filmmakers and spent part of the afternoon talking shop with Pitt and Macdonald. For his part, White reports that Pitt was polite, engaged in the subject and asked good questions.

The rest of The Post’s scribes tried — but not too hard — to act nonchalant while gazing dreamily in the actor’s direction. “It was like angels singing,” one female employee was overheard saying after apparently making brief eye contact.

Pitt’s partner, actress Angelina Jolie, was nowhere to be found (which was probably just as well, because we have these things called “deadlines” here). Ever the do-gooder, Jolie met with Colin Powell at his Alexandria office, and then with his successor as secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice. Jolie’s rep says she reported on her recent trip to Iraq and Syria, and discussed Iraq’s 4 million refugees.

Universal is acting like desperate wh*re and Variety seems to be its p!imp.

But why isn’t Brad taking control of the narrative with this whole thing? Why is he letting Universal control the whole situation?

It’s so frustrating to always see him do this. He lets others control the narrative in the public, and never puts out a statement. So by the time everyone knows about the issue, it’s always a one sided story, usually against him. And by the time he attempts to clear up a rumor, the rumor as already been set in stone as a fact in the public’s mind.

Why the fcuk does he always do this? Why not nip something in the bud rather than having it drag along for a long time because then it will be used against him. grrrrr

STFU cook,
ummm….okay. it’s def time for you to take your medication. should you be on a computer? did you gnaw your way out of your restraints?

Hiya BAMPZS Fans!!! How is everyone doing?

Sorry I can’t stand RC or TC aka the GMD, one has severe anger management issues and the other is crazier than a road road-lizard.

So instead I’ll post other things such as this video where Brad clearly states what is important to him and nothing else mmatters or bothers him. So this SOP cr@p ain’t going to bother him in anyway.

All Universal is trying to do is, now that they lost Brad they are riding on this to get free press for the movie. Hoping that when the movie with the crappy script finally gets out, people will go to see the movie since it was the movie ‘Brad walked away from’ just out of curiousity…

OK, I love this interview of Brad’s. It’s when they were in Venice. This interviewer also did the BP and Don Cheadle interview in Cannes.

Look haters, Do your math! who is making more money ?

There is no competition. They shoulda asked Russel to star in it in the first place. Brad sucks as a serious actor. he needs to stick to cheesy love stories like meet joe black and crap like that.

268 let me tell you

I’m not even judging by personal preference here, but by the actual chances of nomination. Check with any of the Oscar predictions sites like thegoldderby or awardsdaily. The order pretty much goes…

Sure things
Marion Cotillard
Julie Christie

Very Likely
Laura Linney
Keira Knightley
Ellen Page

Other possibilities
Angelina Jolie
Amy Adams
Nicole Kidman
Keri Russell

Dark Horses
Cate Blanchett
Jodie Foster

It doesn’t matter who you think does or doesn’t deserve it. Those are the likely nominations, and Angelina is not in the Top 5 as of this moment. I’m just saying it’s silly to go on and on about when the Oscar nominations happen, when the odds are very, very good that Angelina is going to fall just short. Consider it a happy surprise if it happens, but stop counting down the days.

272 Diana : 11/26/2007 at 2:13 pm

264 Tracy

Amy Adams? Ellen Page? Nicole Kidman?Laura Linney?Keri Russell?are you for real??????They did OSCAR WORTHY performance???you need to go and watch their movie again.really they weren`t in the same league as Angelina and Cate.I don`t know If Angelina will get Oscar or not,who knows??Angelina still has alot of chance and she is young,so I could care less about award for her.BTW saying these women`s performance are like Cate and Angelina is just funny.sorry

Forget to add that I disagree with this somewhat. Most of these ladies gave fine performances this year. I haven’t seen them all, as some have yet to have an official release, but I don’t think we should discredit some of these performances so quickly. Personally I don’t think Angelina will take home the big one this year, but I think she has at least a decent shot at a nomination like most of the ladies mentioned. She is at least on the radar of performances likely to be recognized as worthy of a nomination. In the end it probably doesn’t matter all that much to Angelina if she wins or not, gets nominated or not, but for me I think it’s a nice way to recognize her talent and her hard work.

ROTFLMAO–doing ‘pirates’ takes talent !!!!! Now that is funny…The other films he does is he plays himself a ‘weirdo’, that doesn’t take talent he’s just being himself :lol: just like the X and R. Green :lol:

i do realise this is Brad’s but ….(posted this on the last thread stupid me ! too much to drink at oz xmas party haha) well i’ve been lurking for months now and have posted a few times but i always seem to get overlooked which is fine . i went to an xmas party in oz tonight and it came up who we found to be THE most aspiring person ever and every person in the room was quick to say Angelina Jolie, every female in the room would “turn” for her and every man would have left their significant other for her. she has one hell of a power!! i truely cannot believe that so many american citizens ( i lurk and read comments on this and other sites) are not so proud of this woman and her significant other!! are ppl soooo jealous that they cannot be proud of ppl who do good in their community? i really wish ppl could overcome their hate and recognise ppl for the good they do!! x

That’s probably why they’ve never spent what, more than a week and a half apart? The family is based on location whereever they work and the two take turns. Obviously for that reason it’s clear they’re family is a TOP priority.

chrisie,
like i suggested, visit a shrink. you need meds badly and for a multitude of reasons. you are projecting and delusional. if you can’t work up the strength to go for yourself…then…consider your children. i’m sure there is some low cost government program that can assist you with the expenses.

by the way…once again, i noticed your horrendous spelling errors….you should work on this. hooked on phonics might be able to help you. perhaps, you can check it out for free from the library?

LMAO his family yea riiiiight it is non stop work wit those two
—————————————-
That’s probably why they’ve never spent what, more than a week and a half apart? The family is based on location whereever they work and the two take turns. Obviously for that reason it’s clear they’re family is a TOP priority.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

How do you know that, are you wit them all the time? When days and weeks pass and theres no new news about them how do you know anything about them? You dont no sh^t

“Whats your problem? What if Angie fans think she will be in the top 5, its not like its impossible at all. Not all of these award gurus or prophets are correct. Sometimes they dont get it right.

You know whats so certain? Your idol Aniston is not going to be nominated at all, not now, or ever! ”

OMG. I don’t give a crap about Aniston. I hope Angelina DOES get nominated. I just don’t want to have to sit through the thousands of “Ha ha!” posts that are going to happen if she doesn’t. And all of you boasting about her getting a nomination are making sure that that’s exactly what’s going to happen the second the nominations are announced.

chrisie…..
you are just sooo sad and laughable at this point. it’s like you have tourettes. you’re just screaming any any random insults that come into your mind. i, seriously, cannot stop laughing at your comments! your poor kids though……oh well. ROTFLMAO!!!!!

Cate Blanchett is now planning on campaigning as Lead Actress for I’m Not There. Which means that the actresses ahead of Angelina in the Oscar race are now Cate Blanchett, Marion Cotillard, Julie Christie, Amy Adams, Keira Knightley, Ellen Page, and Laura Linney.

Oceans 11, Oceans 12 & Oceans 13 are GC films, BP was his sidekick.

324 question : 11/26/2007 at 3:00 pm
Why not Ralph Fiennes? He’s good too

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Excellent. Even better would be Liam Neeson. Where the F are these agents at? They better hop to it to grab Brad’s leftovers.

How do I know that? LOL Your a moron.

It’s called LOGIC. Do you really think if they were NOT together during the times that no pap pictures surface they’re wouldn’t be rumbles of such a thing throughout the entertainment industry (not tabloids but actual dependable sources). That they wouldn’t be caught at some point because they were apart from each other? It’s actually been quite the opposite. Those who have seen them together paint a very different picture than the one provided by the tabs, specifically the bottom rung ones. But of course, that doesn’t make as much money as the ‘oh noes DRAMA’.

P.S. You don’t know what or more specifically who I know, bb. On a public blog ya just never know who you’re talking too :)

Jesse, so what are you basing this on, specifically your statement that these are ‘the actresses ahead of Angelina in the Oscar race’. Would like to know.

christian bale is SUPER sexy!!!!!!! remember when he was just a little boy in “Empire of the Sun”??????

georgie -

This is exactly the kind of response I expected from you, georgie - when you cant come up with some long-winded b.s. you always revert to some childish name calling - in true Aniston’s fashion. . calm down now honey-pot all this name calling will wear you out.

You only reaffirm what I said before, you’re Boring! You are so pathetic! Re-read your posts again, see how they exhibited your being low class, trashy and having plain ignorant mentality

Your’re the biggest JOKE , but keep it up, I’m enjoying your freak shows and it’s entertaining to me !!!!

339 CB

maybe you also know the answer,IS FF DOWN AGAIN????

I know who you know, your parents! And I know who you are, a loser on the net watching childporn. You do not know JP or BP so shutup thanks you

chrisie,
seriously? are you on something???? you are a walking talking contradiction.

Pitt’s movies are always hits???? last movie I saw him was Mr.and Mrs.Smith and the rest I didnt care for.

346 just curious

How can you forget about your beloved blog???Please tell me IS FF DOWN AGAIN??? :rol:

I don’t mind talking about awards because well… awards season is coming up. December is somewhat big for the Film Critic Award nominations which will help us see who is really in contention. As you’ve mentioned it’s all speculation, but I don’t think it’s really ‘harmful’ speculation. I’d rather talk about this than argue as to whether Russell Crowe is a good replacement for Brad or even if will replace Brad. I’ll leave that to others who have more input and knowledge on the subject.

344 Tracy : 11/26/2007 at 3:25 pm

*Yawn* Okay Sambo, enough name changes already. We know it’s you.

u racist?

ALL THE TALK ABOUT RC WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME IF HE DOESN’T PICK UP THE JOB. WHY NOT WAIT AND SEE?

Ohhhhhh Christian Bale is so hot and a great actor i will take him over Brad any day

358 Something goin on

hey Sambo,even If he doesn`t do this movie,he still will have two movies for next year.and about two movies as producer. :lol:

so I think you again should kiss his a**. :lol:

Jill & Janice popped back on to say hi, and what do I see, somebody asking if Jill racist! Well aren’t they new to the thread? What is with all the new names, grammatical symbols and the “to” somebodies? Have a wonderful evening ladies!

Funny - Bale or Crowe never sold their pictures….maybe it’s an american thing?

Something goin on : 11/26/2007 at 3:44 pm
I don’t see a problem with them selling pix of the kids because the money goes to charity and not the paparazzi.

—————————-

Exactly !!! That’s a SMART move. Rather than letting the paps pocketing the money, why not take this “control” and donate the money to the charities, and that’s exactly what they did.

Whatever you say, bb…HAHAHAHA

Never the less, the couple/family are rarely apart and follow each other on location. Deal with it.

Off topic

The United Nations has a new website for feeding the poor.

http://www.freerice.com

There are 50 levels of playing the word game and the advertisers pay for the rice. Each correct word is 10 grains of rice.

The Washington Post wrote about it as have others.

If you look at the options tab, you can have them keep track of how much you donate. There is also a totals page to see what in total is going to feed the poor.

How about James McEvoy?

If Russell gets the role, I’m sure it will be handled the way he wants the script to be or else he won’t accept it. They are both good actors and has nothing to do with their personal lives. Thank you Jared. If Universal sues, Brad has good lawyers too. Peace.

OT

OMG HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN THE PICTURE OF SALMA HAYEK AND HER BABY GIRL VALENTINA? TOO CUTE. GO TO JARED’S MAIN PAGE. THAT’S SUCH A CUTE BABY GIRL WITH A FABULOUS NAME.

Brad Pitt can do any JD’s movies and do better than JD. JD is the uglest actor ever.

It’s okay. My take is simply that whatever the circumstance, fault finders will always find a way to find faults.

Ohhhhhh Christian Bale is so hot and a great actor i will take him over Brad any day
