Russell Crowe looks to make his directorial debut with 77
David Matthews wrote the screenplay for 77, a period cop drama that will look at the nationally televised shootout between the Symbionese Liberation Army and the LAPD back in 1977, where 50,000 rounds of gunfire were exchanged. This incident will be wrapped around a murder mystery involving a cop as told from two different perspectives. The story will unfold from the point-of-view of both a white LAPD officer, and a black officer.
Dick Wolf and Tony Ganz will produce 77. Russell Crowe is waiting for a rewrite of the screenplay before officially committing to the project.
5-25-77 comes to theaters in 2013 and stars John Francis Daley, Austin Pendleton, Colleen Camp, Neil Flynn, Steve Coulter, Emmi Chen, Katie Jeep, Justin Mentell. The film is directed by Patrick Read Johnson.

Unless he's going to be starring in his own films, a la Warren Beatty and Clint Eastwood, I'm not interested. I'd rather see him on the screen than not see him behind the camera. He's too great an actor.

So many times actors who take on the directorial duties create movies that are great. There are so many i wont bother naming even one (Braveheart) so i am definatly interestd in this. He has been in the buisness a long time and knows the ins and outs.
