Few movie stars in Hollywood work as hard as Russell Crowe, who is currently filming his next big blockbuster, Highlander. Highlander is a remake of the 1986 Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery-led film of the same name, but the modern version also stars Dave Bautista and Henry Cavill alongside Crowe. Chad Stahelski, famed for his work directing all four John Wick movies, has also been tapped to direct Highlander with a script from Ryan J. Condal (creator of House of the Dragon). Just a few weeks ago, Crowe shared a new photo of himself on social media, showing him getting back into Gladiator shape to star in the new film, which can safely be considered one of the most exciting new releases that’s in development. Djimon Hounsou and Karen Gillan also have roles in Highlander.
2025 was a somewhat uncharacteristically quiet year for Crowe, at least until November, when he finally brought his long-gestating WWII thriller, Nuremberg, to the big screen. Nuremberg wrapped production years ago, and it took the film quite a while to secure distribution, which it inevitably did thanks to Sony Pictures Classics, which brought the film to theaters around Thanksgiving. Nuremberg grossed over $50 million at the box office before going on to have a successful run on VOD as one of the most popular purchases on platforms such as Prime Video and Apple TV. A little over a month ago, Sony finally unleashed Nuremberg onto Netflix, where the film quietly jumped into the top five most-watched titles on the platform. It’s still a streaming smash hit around the world on both Netflix in America and on VOD.
What Is ‘Nuremberg’ About?
Nuremberg follows a WWII psychiatrist, Douglas Kelley (played by Rami Malek), who becomes enamored with understanding the mind of the evil Hermann Göring (played by Russell Crowe), who was one of Hitler’s top generals during the war. The film unfolds as Kelley drives to learn more about Göring, but those close to Kelley begin to wonder if the relationship they’re developing is borderline unhealthy. Nuremberg earned a solid 71% from critics and a strong 95% from audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. The film was written and directed by James Vanderbilt, and while it was thought that it might earn Crowe another Oscar nomination, the Academy ultimately passed on recognizing him.
Check out Nuremberg on Netflix in America and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates and coverage of Crowe’s future projects.
