Russell Crowe to Replace Brad Pitt

Mon, 26 November 2007 at 9:51 am

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).

If it’s a movie with nude scenes in it, that could be the reason why Pitt changed his mind. Lately he said that he won’t be doing nude parts anymore.
