Billy Crudup is set to star in Eat, Pray, Love, opposite Julia Roberts, Javier Bardem and Richard Jenkins, reports Variety. Ryan Murphy will be at the helm of this film, which was originally taken from Elizabeth Gilbert’s bestselling memoir about an unhappy woman who embarks on a journey of self-discovery around the world. Crudup will play Gilbert’s (Roberts) husband Steven, who hopes to have children, but is later abandoned by his wife.

Crudup recently starred in Michael Mann‘s Public Enemies and Zack Snyder‘s Watchmen. His role as Steven sounds a lot less active and a lot more mellow. It will be nice to see the actor in another light after so much action– I’m sure he will do an amazing job next to Roberts, who we all know can do a great job as an adventurous woman.

The film will start shooting next week and is set for a 2011 release date.

What do you think of Crudup as Steven?

Eight movie clips are available of Michael Mann’s gangster mob-thriller, Public Enemies starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. The movie, set in the 1930′s, showcases Depp as the brilliant actor that he is. In fact, all of the acting is fantastic, from Bale being torn between what he has to do and what he wants to do, all the way to Channing Tatum, playing Pretty Boy Floyd, a psycho in the movie who made you want to hate him.

Don’t believe me, watch some of the clips from Collider:

Clip 1: J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup) introduces Melvin Purvis (Bale):

Clip 2: John Dillinger (Depp) tells a shocked Billie Frechette (Marion Cotillard) that he robs banks:

Clip 3: Dillinger tells Frechette all she needs to know about him and his childhood:

Clip 4: At the race track, Dillinger reassures Frechette they will always be together:

So what do you think so far, does Depp deliver?
