Luhrman's Period Piece Gets Bumped from Production Slate

by Scott Weinberg | April 05, 2006

Summary

Baz Luhrmann, director of Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge, was planning to get his 1930's period piece underway this September, but budgeting woes, and the tenuous availability of stars Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman, have conspired to send the project into development hell ... for the time being, anyway.

Darn, that movie sounds pretty interesting because of Luhrman. I liked Romeo + Juliet (yet I really hated the dialogue. The actors and actresses had no idea what they were saying!) and Moulin Rouge was okay (the songs were unoriginal though).

not to be nitpicky, but the second sentence of the third paragraph makes no sense.
"That film is being directed by Crowe's Gladiator director Ridley Scott and is being produced by Brian Grazer, who also produced Gangster and Crowe's Cinderella Man"
so Brian Grazer who produced American Gangster is also producing American Gangster.

That sucks that this is going into development hell, I liked Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet, but I do want to see Crowe's American Gangster more.
