Russell and Emma to get together

RUSSELL Crowe is teaming up with Harry Potter star Emma Watson for a new movie - and his kids couldn't be happier.

Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, has been cast alongside Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and Logan Lermon in the biblical epic Noah.

"My kids are flipping out that I'm going to work with Hermione," Crowe tweeted.

Darren Aronofsky will direct the epic movie which is already in pre-production and is due for release in 2014.
