The world seems to have tired of Russell Crowe as a leading man, but that’s not stopping Hollywood from giving him juicy roles. Crowe has recently been rumored for the lead in Darren Aronofsky‘s Noah, according to Deadline Hollywood, and Vulture recently said he was “in talks” for Akiva Goldsman’s Winter’s Tale. And now Variety’s Jeff Snieder threw out that Crowe may be up for the Robocop reboot.
One-time Robin Hood Russell Crowe is negotiations to join one-time Robin Hood Kevin Costner in Zack Snyder‘s Man of Steel as Superman’s father Jor-El. That’s what Variety is reporting, and that it went public means there’s probably a good chance it will happen. Russell Crowe is a late addition to the cast after the flurry of announcements a couple months back, but the film has yet to begin shooting. Crowe would then be filling the shoes left by Marlon Brando in the first Superman movie.
Literally something for all tastes on DVD this week as we’re getting a new thriller (The Next Three Days), rom-com (Morning Glory), indie comedy (Four Lions) and this year’s Best Documentary Feature winner (Inside Job). Hard to argue with that selection it fits all moods. And if you’re a horror fan, you even have this year’s buzziest TV series, The Walking Dead, unleashing its zombie-filled first season on DVD.
Oh. Yeah. There’s also this little movie called Jackass 3 coming to DVD today as well. I’m not sure what exactly to call that fanbase, but I imagine they’ll be enjoying the film at home with about a crate of Mountain Dew.

It’s no secret that there’s only one film that has a shot at claiming the top spot when this weekend’s box office report comes back. Hint: all your friends on Facebook are talking about it. Another hint: it’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Still, there’s always the number two spot to aim for, and even though it came in second last week, Unstoppable, the latest collaboration between Denzel Washington and Tony Scott, might still hold on to that place. It earned $23.5 million already, losing out to Megamind. It’s always tough to compete with an animated kids’ film. But with that in mind, all the kids this week will probably flock to the latest Harry Potter movie, leaving Megamind in the dust.
Oscar winning screenwriter and director Paul Haggis returns to theaters this weekend with his latest film, The Next Three Days.

Back in June we learned that Oscar winner Russell Crowe was attached to star in the big screen remake of the popular TV series The Equalizer. He’s set to play the title character and according to a report from THR he’ll get a little help from Paul Haggis. The duo previously worked together on the upcoming thriller The Next Three Days and it looks like they’re at it again.
There’s only one big time feature film release on DVD this week, but it’s a big one. At least it seems like a big one. It shoulda been a big one. It wanted to be a big one. But, in the end, not quite a big one. The one we’re talking about? Robin Hood. Yes, the movie you first started seeing trailers for during the end of last football season is finally available as a distraction from this football season. If you care.
If you don’t, you can distract yourself with the last of the avalanche of TV on DVD options coming out this week which includes last season’s winner for Outstanding Comedy Series and the three-time champ it dethroned.
