For all you readers out there who are huge Russell Crowe fans, I have some good news for you. Crowe has been reported to filming his next feature, Body of Lies in Maryland.
The good folks at Moviesonline give us this:
“Body of Lies” is a thriller based on the novel by David Ignatius, a columnist for the Washington Post. Leonardo Dicaprio also stars. Interestingly enough, Crowe starred in Dicaprio’s film “The Quick and The Dead” in 1995, also a western. “Lies” will be directed by Ridley Scott, making this Scott’s fourth time working with Crowe, including “Gladiator,” “A Good Year” and this fall’s “American Gangster.”
Russell Crowe, Leonardo Dicaprio and Ridley Scott sounds like ingredients to a great film in the making. Personally, we all know Russell Crowe has great judgment when picking roles, (he just doesn’t have great judgment in his personal affairs.) so this to me sounds like a film that will be highly anticipated in 2008. What are your thoughts?

Thats really cool. I’ve also kind of become a Dicaprio fan since he started working a lot with Scorcesce(fuckin spelling of that guys name).
Is it really necessary to point out that Crowes personal life is what it is? Same goes with Tom Cruise and any other artist with similiar “situations”. Happens every time when theres some movie news about these guys. I think that its really irrelevant.
He is having a stellar year. He is AMAZING in 3:10 to Yuma(still waiting on your review John HINT HINT) and I can’t wait for American Gangster. He seems to be getting his shit together. I think that phone throw scared him straight. At least, I hope it did.
Russel Crowe is one of the actors that draws me to films, even if i never heard of them (like 3:10 to Yuma and The Insider). I have a lot of movies with him in it, and I really enjoy his acting and how he draws passion to his role, no matter how diversified it is. Looking forward to this and American Gangsters.

Am I out of touch? I thought he said he was retiring after he kept getting in all those fights. What happen?
Russell Crowe is one of the few actors that actually has talent and is very diverse in his roles that he takes on. I think some of his off camera personal situations were unfortunate and I’m sure he regrets them now. Enough about it. The man already apologized for his lack of judgement and I am tired of hearing about it!! The press likes to go on and on about stuff. It’s like beating a dead horse! That was yesterday, this is today. Let’s focus on that. We all have made mistakes but at least the press wasn’t there to pound on us about it. As far as his acting ability goes, he is wonderful and I’ll see any movie that he stars in and pay full price at the box office too. I’ll also buy the movie when it comes out on DVD. He is one of the very few that is worth it, in my opinion. It doesn’t hurt either that he is easy on the eyes and his voice could melt a glacier. I have always liked Leonardo DiCaprio, but really enjoyed him in “Blood Diamond.” I think he deserved Academy Award for his role in that. I think it’s wonderful that two very good, yet very different actors will be in the same film. I am looking forward to when it comes out. I’ve already seen “3:10 to Yuma” and that was an excellent film. Russell really showed his masculine charm in that as well as a complex characterization of the Ben Wade.
