TracyCOWBOYS - CROWE AND PITT
August 21st 2007 05:42
I thought I had covered all the Russell Crowe news in the last few weeks but here’s another story. He is to play a cowboy in the new film 3:10 To Yuma. Crowe will be leading a gun-slinging resurgence opposite Christian Bale.
There haven’t been many westerns films over the past two decades but now we have two contending for an Oscar, Crowe in 3:10 To Yuma and Brad Pitt in his new film, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
As Hollywood's major movie studios cut loose their pre-Oscar hopefuls in the US. Crowe’s movie 3:10 To Yuma will be released on the 7th September, he is expected to head to the States in the next fortnight for an intensive red-carpet promotional tour.
Brad Pitt's film, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, will be released in the States on the 21st September. Pitt's film will have its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival (which runs from 29th August to 8th September) roughly the same time Crowe's film is due out in the US.
Director James Mangold stated in reference to Crowe’s acting ability: "There's only a handful of guys who could pull off this combination of savage rage and brilliant charm... Russell's got that in spades."
The question about who will win the Hollywood trophy cannot be predicted, but apparently 3:10 To Yuma already has 'Oscars buzz' stamped all over it in LA circles. But who knows? It is just speculation after all.
Crowe, who has been in Sydney for most of this year, made his most recent appearance on Australian television in South Side Story.
May the best cowboy win....
