Russell Crowe Is Set to Star in a Mob Thriller Titled AMERICAN SON
Russell Crowe has signed on to star in a new film set up at Paramount Pictures titled American Son. The film is a mob-thriller based on Jacques Audiard’s French movie A Prophet.
The story follows a man “who builds a multiracial crime syndicate after falling under the control of a mobster, played by Crowe. He takes down his mentor, and earns a spot alongside the Italian and Russian mafias.”
The movie will be directed by Andrew “Rapman” Onwubolu with Dennis Lehane writing the screenplay. Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe are producing through Original Film.
I enjoy a good mob movie, and this seems like a good one for Crowe to be involved with.
