Dirt Music, “in good shape”
The film adaptation of Tim Winton’s novel Dirt Music is “in good shape”, according to writer John Collee.
“We’ve now got a draft that works structurally really well. There are less and less changes between the drafts and we’re hoping to shoot next year,” Collee told Encore.
Having fluctuated through various stages of planning over the last six years, the film has a $20 million budget, with Russell Crowe attached to play the lead and Phillip Noyce to direct.
Um, not what Phillip Noyce said at a screening of Salt in LA last night … on the cintrary, he said the script still had a long way to go.
… that would be contrary …
