Check out the trailers online - it looks great to me! Ridley Scott doesn't make bad films (I even enjoyed 'A Good Year') so I'm looking forward to it.
Don't think it'll be anything like the Kevin Coster one. It looks darker and more serious...
Ridley scott doesn't make bad films??? Hannibal, anyone??? Gladiator falls apart in the final act and becomes competely implausible and vomit inducingly sentimental. Scott hasn't made a great film since Blade Runner!
Still, Crowe will probably make a better fist of the English accent than Costner (who, of course, attended the Sean Connery School of Accent Training -- i.e. go with your native accent regardless of who you're playing, be it an American, Russian, Irishman).
