Russell Crowe to appear in first Australian feature

Melbourne (ANI): Russell Crowe will soon be seen in his first Australian feature in more than a decade. The Oscar-winning actor will star in the film adaptation of Tim Winton's novel 'Dirt Music", director Phillip Noyce confirmed. He will play bereaved WA fisherman Luther Fox.

"When is another matter. We are still working on the script," news.com.au quoted Noyce as telling film writer Vicky Roach. He also said that he didn't anticipate any insurmountable obstacles on set— "I like opinionated people." Crowe's female co-star is yet to be cast.
