It’s time for Russell Crowe to take director’s chair. Acclaimed actor will make his feature directorial debut with helming Bra Boys for Universal and Imagine Entertainment.
Penned by Collateral’s writer Stuart Beattie, the pic is a fact-based drama about a counterculture movement in a surf community in Australia.
Variety says, the studio will base the film on the Bra Boys documentary that focuses on Sunny, Koby and Jai Abberton, three brothers who began the underground surfer movement in the inner-Sydney seaside suburb of Maroubra.
Docu addresses the triumphs of the large, rough-and-tumble group, as well as their social struggles. Crowe narrated the docu. It is unclear whether he will play a role in the film.
