Crowe's tour of duty
Christine Sams - The Sun-Herald September 17, 2006 IT was lovely to hear from Russell Crowe via email last week, with
the actor revealing he won't be back home in Australia until February.
Crowe is still filming American Gangster in New York, opposite Denzel
Washington, and beyond that his schedule is full of everything from
family visits to making another film in New Mexico.
"I'm shooting throughout this month and then some obligations in
Europe, taking the boys [sons Charlie and Tennyson] to visit their
great grandparents [in England], promoting A Good Year, then I'm also
attending the dedication of a statue to Richard Harris in Ireland," Crowe
wrote. (The actor wrote a song for Harris, simply titled Mr Harris,
for his album My Hand, My Heart. )
Crowe said he would then travel back to the US to make another film
3.10 To Yuma, a remake of the classic 1957 suspense western.
"I go to New Mexico to start work with James Mangold on 3.10 To
Yuma in the middle of October," Crowe wrote. Mangold was the director
of Walk The Line and the script for the remake has been written by
Australian writer Stuart Beattie (Collateral), who has close professional
links to Crowe.
Danielle Spencer was still in Sydney last week, with toddler Charlie
and baby Tennyson, but the entire family is expected to spend the second
half of the year in the northern hemisphere. |
