When Ridley Scott presses his eye up to the lens, he’s a genius.

Ridley Scott is confirmed to be producing The Kind One for Warner Brothers.

Universal Pictures has dropped some great new pictures on us from the upcoming film American Gangster. The set includes some pretty badass shots of bad guy Denzel Washington and top cop Russell Crowe.

The film features Russell Crowe, Denzel Washington and the direction of Ridley Scott.
