Who? Why is Crowe doing this random stuff all the time? He’s very talented, but he’s hard to work with, and probably not easy to cast given how much weight he’s gained and the way he looks now. I don’t think Hollywood really knows what to do with him anymore. They have the right idea, leaning him toward villains and things of that nature, but he needs to aim higher than things like Unhinged.

I love A Prophet and I realize many liked his (awful imo) Roger Ailes .......but he's not a serious guy to me any more. His peak period went from '91-'01 ......he hasn't been great since. That was a 10 year peak - it was a real good run and some of it was great too but he was still in his 30s when he cashed in his chips.
He's done some good-ish stuff since and a whole lot of stuff that suggests whatever talent he had, well he no longer has.....to me at least it's obvious - he doesn't challenge himself because he can't challenge himself in 2020.
"Andrew “Rapman” Onwubolu is on board to direct" should be a warning sign.....

Fine........minor ........built in......good intentions......predictably solid. You brought that up in a thread on Russell Crowe specifically to me once also - so I guess you really like it - but to me that's the kind of acting role Russell Crowe himself would have mocked (not that role maybe, but that type of work in general). I liked the guy - and love some of his best work in '91-'01 (Romper Stomper, The Insider, Proof) but the free pass he's been getting for a long time now is too much - you don't have to "keep the consistency going" once you've peaked - plenty of my favorite actors go off the rails career wise - but every few years you have to slip in something great that says " I''m Russell Fnckin Crowe" ...........and in his case that stopped when he was like 37 and now he seems more like just the guy who ate Russell Crowe

This will be bad. Crowe is past his prime and no one is interested in a remake of A Prophet.

I hope they change the title as there's a recent Kerry Washington Netflix film with the same title. Hell, everything about this seems misguided so...
