According to The Hollywood Reporter, "The Next Three Days" actually has Crowe
taking a break from Universal and his director friend Scott. The actor will team
up with Paul Haggis ("Crash") and Lionsgate for this remake of the 2008 French
thriller "Pour Elle."

The story follow a married couple who find their happy lives turned upside down
when the wife is imprisoned for murder. Not only does her husband believe her
claims of innocence, he concocts a plan to break her out of prison. Forget
chocolates and red roses... that's love! It's also the perfect role for a tough
guy like Crowe, who shines when he gets to play the anguished action hero.

Filming is scheduled to begin in September, meaning Crowe will be fresh off of
"Robin Hood" and in full fighting form.
