Clive Owen dans "The Boys are back in town"?/ Clive owen in "The boys are back in town"?

L'édition en ligne du journal "The Australian" fait etat de rumeurs comme quoi Clive Owen pourrait jouer le rôle principal dans le prochain film de Hicks, l'adaptation de "The Boys are Back in Town". Des infos qui n'ont pas été confirmées encore par les producteurs. Owen, dernièrement vu dans les excellent "Children of Men" d'Alfonso Cuaron et  "Inside Man" de Spike Lee,  a remporté le Golden Globe du meilleur second rôle pour "Closer" de Mike Nichols.



WORD is that Clive Owen is to take the lead role of a single dad in Adelaide-based director Scott Hicks's The Boys are Back in Town, but producer Tim White has not confirmed this. The British actor (Gosford Park, The Bourne Identity, Children of Men) plays Walter Raleigh opposite Cate Blanchett's Elizabeth I in the upcoming The Golden Age. Hicks has not shot a film in Australia since Shine in 1995. The Boys are Back in Town will be made in Queensland, probably from mid 2007. The comedy-drama has been adapted from a book by British author Simon Carr and is a co-production with Tiger Aspect, one of the UK's biggest film and television producers. Billy Elliot is one of its credits. Hicks has shot three films since Shine, all in North America, although he brings them back to Adelaide for post-production. He is days away from finishing No Reservations, an English-language version of the German film Mostly Martha. Catherine Zeta-Jones plays the chef this time. Hicks made Snow Falling on Cedars and Hearts in Atlantis.
