Body of Lies has begun filming
Film marks the fourth collaboration between Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe
Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott's next team-up won't be Nottingham. I loved the idea of Crowe as the 'good' Sheriff of Nottingham, or at least one who wasn't as drawn out as blatantly evil as previous incarnations. If Robin Hood ever existed, the saying goes he stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Well if your an honest rich man and he's this outlaw who is taking away your hard earned money... then Hood was most definitely the bad guy. However Nottingham would seem to be on hold for the time being as shooting has already begun on Body of Lies, a movie that will see him co-star with Leonardo DiCaprio for the first time in 12 years. The film is based on a novel by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius where a manipulative CIA boss (Crowe) teams with an operative (DiCaprio) to trap a deadly Al Qaeda leader by framing him with a false rumor to his people that the bomber is in cahoots with the U.S. The movie basically is about turning Iraqi terrorists onto each other and as we've heard already, the movie is expected to be more than a little controversial. Crowe is said to have filmed scenes 0n Friday in Annapolis before moving to Baltimore and then later Morocco. The scenes in Baltimore are said to fill in for Manchester (U.K.) and Munich. Sounds like a terrific political thriller and Russell Crowe once again is the absolute master at picking movies and actors to play off. DiCaprio and Crowe will easily be as good as Bale and Crowe and with Ridley Scott finally looking as though he has turned to his best with American Gangster and with Nottingham on the horizon... there's some really exciting Scott/Crowe team-ups in the future to look forward too. source - coming soon
