Russell Crowe to Replace Brad Pitt

Russell Crowe to Replace Brad Pitt

Universal Pictures is trying to replace Brad Pitt in State of Play with American Gangster star Russell Crowe, according to Variety.

Just this past Wednesday, it was announced that Brad dropped out of the film because of disagreements about the shooting script.

We’ll find out early this week if Russell will take on the political thriller and/or if Universal will follow-through with a lawsuit against Brad for bailing.

Nov. 29 is the last possible date Universal has before they start to lose the other actors in the film (Edward Norton, Helen Mirren, Rachel McAdams, Jason Bateman and Robin Wright Penn).

cook’ie,

save your font, the bish is out of her mind.

cook, even if Brad is not rich, he has more assets than you.

Sara,
i am married…
however, feel free to keep up the psychotic ranting. it makes you look really reeally unstable and amuses me (and others) thoroughly.

Yeah tiger,

Problem is, lately, Pitt’s vision for his characters don’t seem to be as interesting in a consensus with others.

————————————————————

“Others” being his associates in Hollywood? Or maybe you mean the movie studio. Why was it again that they dropped the ball on TAOJJ?

Perhaps they want to dictate what Brad’s vision should be. Seems to me he has done alright for himself up till now. Too bad they haven’t gained any faith in him over the years with all the successful movies he has made and his ablity to keep the public interested in his work.

I don’t believe he needs any awards to prove he is talented, His duration in the business says it all for him.

Anyway Brad will get $20 million no matter what due to the contract. I am not worry about him. He is doing mighty fine.

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

cook always insults Brad it’s nothing new. He’s jealous.

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?

I AM SO WITH YOU IN THIS.

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.

I love Angelina and I really hope she gets an Oscar nod, but some of you fans are really setting yourself up for disappointment by counting on it.

1) AMH is not an independent film, so it is not eligible for the Independent Spirit Awards.

2) Angelina only has an outside chance at an Oscar nom, so you should just wait and consider it gravy if it does happen, but don’t count on it. Bringing it up over and over again is just giving people ammunition to rub it in your faces when she doesn’t get it. And her not being nominated will not be anything to be upset about. There are only 5 slots, and a ton of great performances won’t make the cut…Keri Russell, Cate Blanchett, Amy Adams, Ellen Page, Nicole Kidman, Keira Knightley, Laura Linney, and Angelina…all gave Oscar-worthy performances, but they won’t all make it in.

georgie -

of course you have no education, nothing interesting to talk with me. it’s almost the 1st of december. did you spend all your welfare check and have nothing to do? is that the reason why you’re so bored and spew negativity here?

now go back to your trailer, you nothing but trash !!!!

STFU cook @ 11/26/2007 at 2:00 pm

After you. :)

Thanks guli for the video. It is a great interview. Angie and kids are Brad’s main focus. Nothing else matters.

let me tell you @ 11/26/2007 at 2:08 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

Maybe Brad isn’t saying anything because he is disappointed that it didn’t work out. After investing so much time into it, surely it couldn’t be easy for him to just pull out. Of course they are going to speak out first and make him appear like the bad guy who dropped the ball. They don’t care about Brad, they care about keeping their movie on schedule so not to lose the others involved and to prove they can and will push through the writers strike without a blink of the eye. Surely the movie studios need to show that the writers don’t have any control at this point, otherwise they would of come to a settlement 2 weeks ago as to their worth and to the success of the over all picture.

I think Brad has said all he is going to say. There were creative differences and that is the end of it for him.

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

I miss Brad and Angelina!!!!! Where r they??

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.

chrisie,
oh dear. did looking in the mirrors at jazzercize get you down? you sure are angry for someone who is supposedly soooooo fulfilled (heehee)…next time, instead of exercising your frustrations out at a gym, you should walk your saggy @ss to a psychiatrist’s office.

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.
