That makes more sense. For this thing to really draw the general audience to make it worth it's budget and immense scope, you need some star power draw.
While Eastwood in his prime immediately comes to mind as the archetype of this role, Crowe fits too if you think about the majority of the books as being the story of a middle aged knightly gunslinger that has seen better days (living in a world that has seen better days too).
