Neo steps in for Maximus

[Kn'thrak]

Old but interesting news!

It’s out with Russ and in with Neo. For undisclosed reasons, Russell Crowe has left “Tripoli”, the story of how U.S. soldier William Eaton joined forces with an exiled king to overthrow the corrupt ruler of what is now Libya, which is set to be directed by Ridley Scott, and the studio has replaced him with Keanu Reeves. But it’s not all good news for Keanu, according to Variety, 20th Century Fox has put the film into turnaround, and now co-financing companies are kicking the tires.

i personally would have left Crowe in there. i don't think keanu can act his way out of a paper bag. but if he left, then the choices must be pretty slim now-a-days for the studios to pick "Ted"...

of course, they can always name this movie, "Bill & Ted Go To Libya"...than i thik kenau would fit right in. i wonder if Bill is available ???

wdf? the two actors have nothing in common adn are fit for completely different movies.

It's like taking in Jim Carrey to replace Arnorld in T4!
