Musical plans for Russell Crowe

Walking on the footsteps of fellow Antipodeans Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe is now all set to hit the high notes in a new movie musical.

The gruff Gladiator star, has revealed he’s currently looking at a script for a new film, which will require him to belt out a tune.

He tells contactmusic.com, "There is a film that I’m looking at next year based on a book from an Australian writer which has a character within the book that plays in a band, so that’s something I’m looking at the moment."   - Sampurn Media
