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).

Why would AMH not be eligible for a spirit award?

RULES FOR ELIGIBILITY

1. All submitted films must be at least 70 minutes long.

AMH’s running time is 100 minutes

2. Cost of completed film, including post, must be less than $20 million.

AMH’s Budget Source: HR, 9/7/2007, p. 14 (”$16 million”)

3. Eligible films must have either:

a. Been shown at least one week in a commercial theater between January 1 and December 31, 2007 or

b. Been shown in 2007 at one of the following six film festivals: the Los Angeles Film Festival, New Directors/New Films, New York, Sundance, Telluride, or Toronto.

AMH was released June 22, 2007

So perhaps it will or it won’t get a nomination, but it seems eligible to me.

Living their lives. Don’t expect to see them unless they are doing work related things.

168 truth :
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Because he doesn’t give a sh*t about Box Office or blockbuster movie. He is a real artist. He only makes movies he is interested in and thinks it is worthy to make. not like those fcuking actors, as long as make money, they will do it even it is piece of sh*t.

Cool World, Johnny Suede, The Favor real art? When he did Sleepers WS did a little “piece of sh*t” called INDEPENDENCE DAY which made $816,969,268 Worldwide I guess that wasnt worth making right im sure BP would not have wanted to waste his time making a movie like that and why make something like Men in Black when you can make The Devil’s Own
~~~~~~~

these fans think Brad is the best actor in the world . LOL When you put him up against someone like Crowe you see what a ****** actor Pitt is. Pitt a real artist? Rotflmao He is no Johnny Depp.

Everybody should boycott this movie because the studio doesn’t have any respect to writers.

259 grrrrr…. : 11/26/2007 at 1:48 pm
But why isn’t Brad taking control of the narrative with this whole thing? Why is he letting Universal control the whole situation?…
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.

He probably wants to be above all the gossip and speculation. But I agree, there are times when you have make a pre-emptive strike.

Johhny Depp and Russell Crowe are heads and shoulders above Brad Pitt.

JD is sh*t and old dirty homeless sh*t.

who are youuuuuuuuu? @ 11/26/2007 at 2:23 pm

232 maybe: get a life.quit making up crap.are you delusional?

Johhny Depp is a very talented and unique artist. I’d like to see Brad attempt to do what Johnny has done….but he simply couldn’t do it.

JD’s Pirates movies are cr@p not art.

Holy moly, I just noticed — US Magazine, of all people, has paid a shitload to advertise themselves on JJ’s site.

I wonder what their agenda is in doing this. But if they think it’s going to stop me from saying on this site exactly what I think about them, they are out of their freaking minds.

$816,969,268 Worldwides a lot of money

JD couldn’t do any Brad’s movie either.

I don’t know why everyone thinks that brad can act RC is so much better than pitt

Who cares who replaces Brad? It’s not a vehicle for him specifically.
Just insert any male A lister and that’s that. This movie is gonna tank anyway. Nobody likes political thriller.

Hey Guli! Thanks for the video. I’d never seen it and it FINALLY played for me! :D

Actually, it’s more like Johnny “wouldn’t” do Brad’s movies….not that he “couldn’t”.

NO WAY IN HELL COULD BRAD DO WHAT JOHNNY DID OR DOES

GOOD NEWS @ 11/26/2007 at 2:32 pm

Yay!!!!!!!!!!! Brad doesn’t have to do this film now. What a load off his shoulders. Now she can concentrate on other projects and his family.

Hey #264, Angie confirmed in one of her interviews that AMH is eligible for the Independent Spirit Awards.

JD–LMAO—yep the idiot, just like RC has anger management issues one trashes hotel suiets in rage the other assaults regular folks who are trying to serve him. Yep shows how classy they are.
BTW–who fcuk are you trying to kid, you are NOT a JD or RC fan, you are a JP HATER!!!! So, you bring this cr@p up to get attention as usual.
The reality is Brad is rich, talented happy with gorgeous and rich Angie and they have four gorgeous kids. That’s what is really bothering you, pure jealousy.
You trolls are sooo pathetic, you keep on hating them while they don’t even know you even exist or care and they are living their lives happily. So when do you think the REALITY will ever sink in with you pathetic things!!!

296 GOOD NEWS : 11/26/2007 at 2:32 pm
