'Mr & Mrs Smith' director Doug Liman is attempting to do what other moviemakers have failed to do - bring Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman together on the big screen.

David Bowie, Whoopi Goldberg, Fred Durst and director Doug Liman have all been named as jury members at the Tribeca Film Festival - which kicked off in New York on Wednesday.

Director Doug Liman had lined up rapper Eminem to star in new movie 'Jumper' - but dropped him at the last minute in favour of Hayden Christensen.

Alleged couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had immediate chemistry from the first day of the filming on Mr and Mrs Smith, according to the movie's director Doug Liman.
