We would love to see this combination! Although would they do this in 3D?

Sources have confirmed that Avatar and Titanic director James Cameron is currently in early talks with Sony Pictures about the possibility of directing Angelina Jolie in Cleopatra.

The script is based on Stacy Schiff's book Cleopatra: A Life, and it's being written by Brian Helgeland, whose last epic feature script was Russell Crowe's Robin Hood.

The film is being produced by Scott Rudin, who recently produced everything The Social Network.

Quite the team behind this one! We'll be keeping our ears open for updates.

How do U feel about the possibly of James Cameron directing Cleopatra? Do U think he could make this better than Avatar?

Way to go, Russell Crowe! We might actually go see this!

Check out the trailer for his new flick, The Next Three Days! (above)

Thoughts?

This isn’t going to end well.

Wu-Tang-Clan founder, RZA, will direct and co-star in The Man With the Iron Fist, a movie that he’s been developing for years with Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth.

RZA feels confident that Crowe is perfect for the part. “I won’t spoil it for you, but Russell’s gonna be the baddest man alive," said RZA. “That man is in fighting shape. That man will knock you out.”

Aren’t kung fu fighters supposed to be quick and nimble? Russell Crowe’s bones creak with every move he makes!

For the sake of his kids!

Russell Crowe is staying in Australia for the remainder of 2010 to be with his family including wife Danielle Spencer and their two sons, Charlie and Tennyson.

He says:

"I don't want to get on a plane again this year. I want again to take a step back and put a normal rhythm back into the kids' lives. I know what it is that turns me on in my job and I know if… something comes up that I want to do then I'm usually allowed to do it. I do the things that drive me from a pure place."

Well, he can afford it!

You know you’re cool when you collaborate with Brad Pitt on a project and YOU’RE the reason it was a cool movie.

Nick Cave composed the terrific score to Pitt’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Cool.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (his band) made the infinitely listenable album Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! Cooler.

And now, Nick Cave is rewriting the remake of The Crow. Coolest.

Cave, who was recently hired to rewrite director Stephen Norrington’s Crow script, has been approached before to work on large scale screenwriting projects.

A little while back, boring swashbuckling Robin Hood alumni Russell Crowe asked Cave to write a Gladiator sequel. That would have been extraordifantastically cool.

Crack open that laptop and get writing, Mr. Cave. Dazzle us some more with your coolness.

He's such a diva!

Russell Crowe stormed out of a BBC radio interview on Wednesday when the host told him his Robin Hood accent sounded Irish.

"The accent you've given him (Robin Hood). There are hints to me of Irish, but what…. were you thinking in those terms?" questioned host, Mark Lawson.

"You've got dead ears mate, you've seriously dead ears if you think that's an Irish accent… B**locks," replied Crowe.

LOLz.

And even though the host tried to take the line of questioning elsewhere, Russell kept bringing it back to the accent.

"I'm a little dumbfounded you could possibly find any Irish in that character, that's kind of ridiculous anyway but it's your show," Russell continued. "No! I was going for an Italian (accent)… missed it? F**k me!"

Then he proceeded to walk out of the interview, adding, "I don't get the Irish thing by the way. I don't get it at all."

WTF?! Get over yourself, Crowe. You should be more concerned that no one wants to see an old ballz Robin Hood!

Uh-oh! Universal may have made a $225 million boo-boo.

Yesterday, Russell Crowe's newest flick, Robin Hood, hit the Cannes Film Festival. As one of the opening films, the studio was ready to welcome a warm reception from the media and glowing reviews from attendees.

Yeah, not so much, at least not from the press overseas.

While domestically the film will probably do fairly well, across the pond there are those who are majorly pissed. Sources say that members of the French media were simply outraged and almost hostile after seeing how Ridley Scott portrayed their people. Apparently, at best, the French characters could be called "Gallic Keystone Kops."

That's really bad. Only frat boys and homeless people drink Keystone!

Then there was the London press, which not only called the film “horribly long … serious to a fault … a dull movie of the kind that doesn’t pay emotional dividends,” but also took a shot at Russell's acting chops saying, “Playing Robin with all the mumbling machismo he can muster, there are times when watching him is as fun as a visit from the tax inspector."

Ouch! That one's gotta sting!

There is a lot of money riding on this thing, so Universal better hope America steps it up on the flick's opening weekend and that French & English people don't read the papers.

Otherwise someone is in BIG trouble!
