Russell Crowe visited the Big Schmoke earlier in the year when he had three, count them THREE premieres of Darren Aronofsky's Noah.

Not to brag or anything, but entertainment.ie hosted Russell when he was here in Dublin with our Senior Editor, Mike Sheridan, hanging out with him all day. Ask him about it sometime. 

Clearly, 'oul Rusty is a big fan of Dublin as he could be returning to our shores just in time for St. Patrick's Day.

Crowe's first directorial effort, The Water Diviner, has been quietly gaining momentum and features a powerful performance by the New Zealander.

We'll have to see if it comes to fruition, but it's very cool to see Crowe coming back to Ireland.
