Russell Crowe is in final negotiations to star in writer-director Paul Haggis' next film, "
The Next Three Days," for Lionsgate.
Haggis, who made his Oscar-winning "Crash" at the studio, is writing, directing and producing the remake of the French thriller "Pour Elle." It tells the story of a married couple thrown into a harrowing situation when the wife is imprisoned for a murder she claims she didn't commit and the husband must devise a way to get her out.
