Cate Blanchett arrives for the premiere of 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' on December 10, 2008 in Sydney, Australia.Us Magazine
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star replaces Sienna Miller , who announced she had the role last June.
Check out Cate Blanchett's red carpet style.
"It's the most exciting news in the world," Miller had said about joining the cast of the Ridley Scott-directed epic.
After she exited late last year, Imagine Entertainment's Brian Grazer said Blanchett would be a strong match for Crowe.
Take a look at other beautiful leading ladies at this year's Oscars.
"They are both highly accomplished dramatic actors who are taken seriously playing rich characters in period pieces, but each has the ability to show you fun," Grazer said.

The adventure film, which had been called Nottingham but is undergoing a title change, will begin production in early April. This remake will be more of an origin story about Robin of Loxley. Abandoned as a child, Crowe's character finds community with the common people of Nottingham. His abandonment and trust issues hamper his ability to fall in love until he meets his match in the strong-willed Marian.
The film will be shot in the United Kingdom on a $130 million budget. Scott will be aiming for a PG-13 rating.
