During the press tour for Spike Lee’s “Miracle at St. Anna,” questions arose about the sequel to Lee’s most commercially successful film, “Inside Man.” The sequel has been in development for some time, which really only means, Universal said, “Hey! “Inside Man” made lots of money for it’s budget and it was hella awesome! Let’s make another one!” Now, the company is moving forward with the film after having Lee sign on to direct the sequel. “Hotel Rwanda” writer-director, Terry George, will provide the screenplay to the film which will pick up where the two main characters, Denzel Washington and Clive Owen, left off. Lee gave comment. “I want the script to be even better than Russell’s, and Russell wrote a really good script,” [The Hollywood Reporter]
Spike Lee And Denzel Making ‘Inside Man’ Sequel, Crowe In Talks for ‘Sherlock Holmes’
We noted recently about the debunked rumor that Australian actor, Russell Crowe, would be playing the sidekick Watson in the upcoming Guy Ritchie film, “Sherlock Holmes.” Ritchie only denied that Crowe would be playing Watson, but /film recently published a story about how Crowe is now tapped to play Sherlock’s arch-nemesis Moriarty in the new film. This is funny because Robert Downey Jr., who is playing the british sleuth, recently lampooned Crowe in Ben Stiller’s ‘Tropic Thunder.’ [/film]
