Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott just can’t get enough of each other. Crowe is already set to star in two upcoming Scott movies, Nottingham and American Gangster. The Hollywood Reporter says he’s adding a third.
The movie is a Ridley Scott directed spy-thriller called Body of Lies. Already in the cast is Leonardo DiCaprio as an idealistic CIA agent stationed in Jordan (yep, it’s another Middle East movie). While there, he comes up with a plan to sow seeds of suspicion among a group terrorists (I thought they already mistrusted each other?) he’s after. The plan puts his life in jeopardy. Russell Crowe will play his CIA boss. Crowe and DiCaprio last worked together in 1995 on The Quick and the Dead.
Body of Lies once had the unfortunate title of Penetration. Body of Lies is probably a better choice, but I'm disappointed that this is the last time I'll be able to use Penetration in a story title.
