Russell Crowe to Replace Brad Pitt

Thank you for a very intelligent post.

(ROTFLMBAO @ “that TV girl”.)

150. NO that is because the other a-list actors don’t like using themselves as a brand to sell crap to the public.

“148. brad pitt has never taken big budget blockbusters like tom cruise or will smith. MAMS was the biggest and it performed big too.”

Oceans 11, 12 and 13 and Mr & mrs Smiths????

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.

I said

Mr & mrs Smiths????

MAMS = Mr and Mrs Smith

Yeah but you didn’t mention Oceans 11, 12 and 13?!!!1

Brad makes international commercials because he is an international star. Some of these others don’t have the world-wide appeal he does.

Plus, I bet more of them make these ads than anybody thinks. I know Clooney made one a few years ago. They are not cheesy ads. They are very well made and look classy. The film crews also meet Brad wherever he and Angelina are in the world, too. They will come to him. That says alot. I mean, geez, it’s not like Catherine Zeta Jones and her ads for T-mobile or Sprint or whatever it is. Those really are a bit cheesy, IMHO. But this just me, I am not trying to convince the world. Just giving my opinion.

Brad has a large family that is going to get larger. Daddy’s gotta make some bank while the sun shines, you know?

161 What are you talking about height? Its nothing to do with heights!!! Will Smith 6′ 2″ and BP is 5′ 11½”. Tom Cruise has been asked to do commercials and video games but he refused.

Don’t start on Tom
Tom Cruise likes to sell His Family, Suri and Katie anyone?

So what, Brad Pitt is still bigger star than RC. He makes more money than RC and he is much much much more famous and popular than RC.

Tom may just well be better off if he were more willing to sell Edwin jeans or cell phones rather than shoving the Xenu juice down everyone’s throats.

He sure isn’t above selling the hell out of Scientology is he? Setting up recruitment tents and just annoying the nuts off of everyone on his productions. There are numerous complaints about that ****.

Give me Brad and his cell phone commercials any day, baby.

When Brad Pitt ditched his starring role in State of Play last Wednesday, it seemed like for once a production was hitting snags that have nothing to do with the writer’s strike. Not true; it turns out Pitt’s departure was due to a script problem, specifically that Pitt thinks it needs some more work and Universal disagrees, and so State of Play has become yet another victim of the strike.

But unlike other strike-affected movies, such as Pinkville and Shantaram, State of Play may not be going into a development hibernation. According to Variety, Universal is attempting to woo Russell Crowe to fill Pitt’s shoes and keep the movie on track. Crowe would have to make sure he can squeeze this film in before his March start on Ridley Scott’s Nottingham, while the studio would have to make sure that Crowe doesn’t mind problem scripts. If the actor doesn’t get cast, though, Variety points out that both Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp seem to be available thanks to the strike (same goes for Bruce Willis I think).

Obviously, Universal is hoping to get this movie made no matter what, because it needs to have something in the can once the strike has left us with a release void. Yet despite the strength of its cast, which includes Edward Norton, Helen Mirren, Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright Penn and Jason Bateman, the studio has to understand that if the script is problematic, the outcome may be a disappointment. It’s worth pointing out that the plot of State of Play, which deals with politics and journalism, sounds superficially like the recent remake of All the King’s Men, which had a stellar ensemble yet failed anyway. State and Play may be nothing like that film, but regardless it does remind me enough to foresee a failure.

Anyway, we should hear definite word on whether or not Crowe takes the part early this week. We should also hear definite word, though probably not this week, on whether or not Universal plans to sue Pitt over his exit. The case will certainly be interesting to follow, because it could change the way in which Hollywood deals with A-list talent and pay-or-play contracts.

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.

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

Was there a leading lady/love interest that would have played opposite Pitt scripted in State of Play?
