Based on Jack El Hai’s book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, Nuremberg will center on American psychiatrist Douglas Kelley (Malek), who found himself in a complex battle of wits with Hitler’s right-hand man Hermann Göring (Crowe), after being tasked to determine whether Nazi prisoners are fit to stand trial for their war crimes.

Vanderbilt is coming on board as writer and director, and he can’t wait to head to Hungary in February to shoot this promising historical drama.

“What an absolute honor it is to be working with such a tremendously talented group of actors. Our partners at Bluestone and Walden have been incredibly supportive, and I cannot wait to bring this amazing true story to the screen,” said Vanderbilt in a statement.

Russell Crowe starred in The Pope’s Exorcist earlier this year, and we’ll soon see him in Kraven the Hunter. Rami Malek made a memorable cameo in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and will next star in the spy thriller The Amateur. As for Michael Shannon, he recently reteamed with Jeff Nichols for The Bikeriders, in addition to being attached to Joshua Oppenheimer’s The End.

Crowe is currently busy promoting his new film The Pope’s Exorcist, but that didn’t stop him from discussing how he feels about the new Gladiator movie during a recent interview with Collider.

“I mean, look, the only thing that I really feel about it is slightly jealous, you know? Because I was a much younger man, obviously, and it was a huge experience in my life. It changed the way people regarded me and what I do for a living,” he explained.

The Australian actor, also said that Gladiator still holds a special place in his heart because “you don’t always get that kind of longevity with every film you do.”

Gladiator came out in 2000, and it ended up winning five Academy Awards, including best picture and best lead actor for Crowe. Its sequel has been in development for years, but Ridley Scott is finally getting serious about this project, and he already cast Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, and Barry Keoghan in key roles.

More than two decades since Gladiator hit screens and scooped multiple awards, a sequel is in the works.

Ridley Scott helmed the epic which tells the tale of how Maximus Decimus Meridius, played by Russell Crowe, goes from a slave to a gladiator to avenge the murder of his family. 

Scott has confirmed that a sequel to the Best Picture winner is currently being written.

“I’m already having [the next] Gladiator written now. So when I’ve done with Napoléon, Gladiator will be ready to go,” the director stated.

Crowe is not expected to reprise his role in Gladiator 2, nor is Joaquin Phoenix as Emperor Commodus. Instead, the sequel is reportedly set to follow Commodus’a nephew, Lucius, 20 years after the events in the original film.

Edgerton’s sophomore film stars Lucas Hedges as Jared, the son of a Baptist preacher, who comes out to his family. Instead of supporting him, Jared’s religious parents (Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe) decide to “cure” him of his homosexuality. The young man has to choose between going to a gay conversion therapy program or losing everyone he holds dear.

The upcoming movie is based on Garrard Conley’s book titled Boy Erased: A Memoir of Identity, Faith, and Family. It’s an emotional tale of a young man from Arkansas who was outed as gay during his freshman year of college. Conley’s memoir was released to critical acclaim and something tells us the same thing will happen to its movie adaptation.

Boy Erased will premiere on November 2, just in time to create enough Oscar buzz. Hedges will be the one carrying the movie on his shoulders in the first lead role of his career. He rose to prominence in 2016 thanks to the Academy Award-nominated performance in Manchester by the Sea. Hedges starred in another two Best Picture contenders just a year later – Lady Bird and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
