Variety reports that Russell Crowe will once again reunite with Ridley Scott in "Body of Lies," in which he will star opposite Leonardo DiCaprio. William Monahan ("The Departed") penned the screenplay based on the novel by David Ignatius.

Scheduled to shoot this fall, the movie will follow a CIA boss (Crowe) who teams up with an operative (DiCaprio) to trap a dangerous Al Qaeda leader by planting a false rumor that the bomber is in trouble with the Americans.

Donald De Line and Scott are producing.
