paragraph on The Score [Thanks to HBLivin80s@aol.com for the info!]. The August Movieline

eventually win a Nobel Prize" (in Movieline's words). The column is very vague and rumor
filled, listing Russell Crowe as the top contender for the role (with Ron Howard possibly
directing) and other actors "rumored" to be interested in the role include Matt Damon, Edward
Norton, Jude Law, and Matthew McConaughey.
