AMERICAN GANGSTER – BEATS JERRY SEINFELD’S DEBUT FILM
November 6th 2007 22:16
It seems that the collaborative thriller by director Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe, American Gangster has done has beaten Jerry Seinfeld’s first film, the animated Bee Movie at the weekend box offices. According to Exhibitor Relations, the total earned is $US43.6 million, that’s $47.37 million to us Aussies.
As peeker described in an earlier post, American Gangster stars Denzel Washingon as Frank Lucas, a 1970s head drug dealer. Crowe is Richie Roberts, the outcast detective who is hunting Lucas down with much determination.
This a busy time for Ridley and Crowe as they are currently working together again on Body of Lies, which is due out next year.
I’m curious to see what this film is like, especially as Scott has such an impressive directorial background in films such as Alien, Gladiator (again with Crowe) and Blade Runner.

I have to say that after seeing the trailer for Bee Movie, it didn't do much for me.
Yes I agree, while Crowe does seem to be quite arrogant, there is no doubt (to me anyway!), that he's a sound actor.
Thanks for popping in,
