Russell Crowe is set to star in “American Son,” a remake of Jacques Audiard’s critically acclaimed 2009 French film “A Prophet,” which was in the works at Sony but has now moved to Paramount.
“American Son” centers around a man, who, after falling under the control of a ruthless mobster (Crowe) while in prison, builds a multiracial crime syndicate, takes down his mentor, and earns a place for his crew alongside the Italian and Russian mafias.
Andrew ‘Rapman’ Onwubolu (“Blue Story”) is on board to direct the movie from a screenplay by Dennis Lehane. Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe are producing through Original Film.
Crowe’s next film is “Unhinged” which will be the first movie to return to cinemas since the pandemic. It premieres on July 1st.
