Russell Crowe did not choose to take the role because he was already signed to other projects. It had nothing to with the salary. Get your facts straight instead of just choosing to write inflammatory drivel.

Crowe was in only ONE sword and sandals film. His other roles have included math genius, depression era boxer, tobacco scientist, outlaw, cops, etc. He's a deeply talented and credible actor. You make him sound like a shallow one note actor.

Why couldn't Crowe be in Australia? It's been made clear that because Baz dithered around for over 2 years, Crowe couldn't keep his schedule open all that time. There's no scandal, just bad timing. Money was a minor issue, just part of ongoing negotiations and Fox trying to blame Crowe for their own indecision over making the film.

Baz and Crowe have both said in interview comments they understood each other's situation and remain friends.
