I thought it was interesting Russell bringing up the Ben Hur show yesterday. Apparently he'll be part of it in Oct, a narrator, I guess. http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/russell-crowe-is-ben-hurs-iconic-fan/story-e6frfmqr-1225897183028 RUSSELL Crowe is expected to be named today as the Australian "icon" who has joined the cast of the stage spectacular Ben Hur. Crowe is rumoured to have been approached by the show's producers to join the cast of the live "stadium spectacular" theatrical event which features a full-scale chariot race and a sea battle of galleons and is based on the Hollywood blockbuster which starred Charlton Heston. Sounds just like the Gladiator star's cup of tea. On Sunday, Crowe, for no reason, started Twittering about the show. "Has anyone bought a ticket to BEN HUR live at ANZ in October?" he asked. "BEN HUR live spectacle, not a play, not a musical. Real chariot race, full size galleon. LON prod indoor, this is stadium-sized like Paris," he added later. The event will be staged at the ANZ Stadium over two nights in October.

No worries, though, with all the snow and cold in Sweden in the first book he'll probably have 2 or 3 layers on. http://www.deadline.com/2010/07/daniel-craig-closes-deal-for-girl-with-the-dragon-tattoo/ Thanks to maria, more about Dirt Music. Looks like Noyce is serious about getting this made in the somewhat near future. The bolded part made me laugh, that sounds just like our guy, doesn't it? Maybe he's one of the producers of DM, gotta get the word out there, you know. http://www.hollywoodnews.com/2010/07/26/this-week-in-movies-salt-inception/ After the Q&A Noyce headed back to Hollywood and the post-premiere party at the Grand Ballroom in the Hollywood and Highland complex (the Governors Ball following the Academy Awards is held there too) where Angie and Brad Pitt were surrounded by well wishers. I caught Noyce chatting with the town’s newest certified mogul, Ryan Kavanaugh whose Relativity Media was one of “Salt’s” key backers and who swooped in this week to save Overture Films from meeting the fate of most other indie companies by taking over marketing and distribution of their upcoming slate of films. Clearly hoping to gain some interest , Noyce was enthusiastically talking up what he hoped will be his next project, “Dirt Music” in which Russell Crowe will play a country singer (look what you started Jeff Bridges!). Turns out Kavanaugh was already familiar with it. The producer who also was involved with Crowe’s summer film, “Robin Hood” told Noyce that Russell actually cornered him in a car and sang most of the tunes for him already. Despite the sell job Relativity hasn’t yet jumped into the “Dirt Music” business. Stay tuned.

Posts: 3817 (Jul 26, 2010 9:22 PM) Just Me More My Recent Posts	http://www.anzstadium.com.au/News/LatestNews/NewsArticles.aspx?NewsContentId=f92df297-fe5d-439d-b8d3-192af849bb34 Russell Crowe joins BEN HUR cast Related Event: BEN HUR - The Stadium Spectacular Tuesday, 27 July 2010 StadeFrance Live Events and ANZ Stadium are thrilled to announce that Australian icon RUSSELL CROWE has agreed to be the Narrator of BEN HUR - The Stadium Spectacular at ANZ Stadium on 22 and 23 October. An internationally acclaimed star of film and stage, Russell Crowe is the winner of an Oscar for Gladiator at the 2000 Academy Awards, and countless accolades including a Golden Globe Award, Film Critics Circle Award, Australian Film Institute and Screen Actors Guild Award. Russell Crowe will lend his voice and iconic stature to the biggest theatrical event ever seen in Australia. The monumental $15 million production is set for two shows only, exclusively in Sydney. "We all know the Australian saying, "Bigger than Ben Hur"...and there is no doubt this show will be massive," said Russell Crowe at today's media announcement. "It is an honour to be asked to participate, it's going to be fun that's for sure and I'm really looking forward to it. There's a cast of 200, chariot races, pirate attacks. It's huge. "Obviously I have a relationship with ANZ Stadium, being that it is the home ground of The Rabbitohs. "I've long been an admirer of the cutting edge approach that the Stadium has taken in its operations. This idea is so ambitious, the scale so daunting that when they asked me to be involved I just said "absolutely". "This isn't a play, it's not a musical, it's a spectacle. When I was approached I put the question up on Twitter, "Did anyone see the Paris production?" and the responses that I read confirmed for me that the people who are lucky enough to see this will have an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience." ANZ Stadium Managing Director Daryl Kerry has hailed the signing of Russell Crowe as "a stellar moment in major event theatre worldwide". "To have the biggest star in Australia join the biggest theatrical event we've ever seen is a ground-breaking event," said Kerry. "BEN HUR is more than a big show, it's a new entertainment genre that's sure to excite Australian audiences. "With Russell Crowe as Narrator we know we have the best in the business and that makes BEN HUR the must-see show of the year." BEN HUR brings to life the Biblical epic made famous by the Academy Award winning Hollywood movie 'Ben Hur', starring Charlton Heston. The 1959 classic won a record 11 Academy Awards, a benchmark for excellence unsurpassed in movie making. BEN HUR - The Stadium Spectacular combines the scale of the Sydney Olympic Games Opening Ceremony with the drama of the galley slave who dared defy the Roman Empire. This stadium adaptation has been crafted by renowned French director Robert Hossein, whose masterpiece was watched by over 300,000 people in its Paris debut. Ben Hur features a cast of 200 actors, a full-scale live chariot race, a giant Roman Galleon and a 15,000 square metre performance area that will transform ANZ Stadium into the biggest Roman Coliseum ever seen. For tickets, show information and new video, go to www.benhur.com.au or call Ticketek on 132 849. The best you can hope for in this life is that your delusions are benign and your compulsions have utility. -- Scott Adams
