Russell Crowe’s New Crime Thriller Is Officially Challenging Taylor Sheridan on Streaming

Gladiator Oscar winner Russell Crowe is the man for a big Hollywood occasion. Having been part of some of the biggest blockbusters of the last 30 years, Crowe's name is as reliable as many. Soon he will be back for a hotly anticipated fantasy reboot, as Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez in John Wick director Chad Stahelski's remake of the 1986 Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery-led Highlander.

A stacked lineup for Highlander has been announced, including former Superman Henry Cavill, Dave Bautista (The Wrecking Crew), Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy), Jeremy Irons (Batman v Superman), Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond), and Marisa Abela (Industry). Rumors of Crowe getting back into the shape of his life for the movie weren't exactly true, as he took to social media to set the record straight, admitting that he'd already finished filming by the time photos of his physical transformation had been taken. Instead, this dramatic weight loss seems linked to his subsequent project, The Last Druid, a historical action drama film directed by William Eubank.

But before Highlander and The Last Druid, one of Crowe's most recent releases is proving a quiet streaming hit. The Get Out, the 2026 Crowe-led crime drama directed by Derrick Borte (The Joneses), is currently one of the ten most-watched movies on Paramount+ in the U.S. Based on the 2010 novel Strip by Thomas Perry, the film follows Crowe's nightclub owner Manco as he gets caught up in a world of crime. Luke Evans, Teresa Palmer, Daniel Zovatto, and Aaron Paul also feature.

What Else Is Popular on Paramount+?

The Get Out currently ranks at #9 in the Paramount+ top ten. But what else is proving popular? The Eddie Murphy disaster Norbit is the most surprising addition to the top ten, with Luc Besson's Dracula, the buddy-cop comedy favorite Rush Hour, the 1996 disaster gem Twister, and the comedy We're the Millers also ranking. The top two spots on the list are taken by a pair of connected action titles in One Mile: Chapter One and One Mile: Chapter Two.
