    Russell Crowe to Star in "The Next Three Days"  

    DateThu, July 30, 2009

     

    News comes from Variety that Russell Crowe's first project after he completes Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood" will be a thriller for Paul Haggis.

    Russell Crowe will star in "The Next Three Days," the adaptation of the 2008 French film "Pour Elle" that reunites Lionsgate with its "Crash" director Paul Haggis.

    Crowe will play a teacher whose wife is arrested and convicted of a murder she says she did not commit. He comes up with a desperate plan to free her.

    Haggis, who wrote the script, will begin production in late September in Pittsburgh.

    The premise should make for a fantastic thriller and for me Russell Crowe is one of the finest actors around, the kind that can compliment being a truly class actor with also being a leading man, so basically anything with him has my interest, add to that, that I have enjoyed both of Haggis' prior movies (Yes! I liked "Crash") and this project is high on my anticipation list of movies set to shoot this year for a probable release in 2010.
