West Australian novelist Tim Winton's book Dirt Music is set to be screen-adapted and the next project of director Phillip Noyce. Irish actor Colin Farrell is the latest name to be linked to the film. At the Berlin Film Festival this week, it was announced Farrell would take the role of Lu Fox, earlier offered to Heath Ledger. Dirt Music is an intense love story between outcast Lu and Georgie, the unhappy partner of a prosperous fisherman. Britain's Rachel Weisz is to play Georgie.I've read the book twice. It's full of West Australian references, of both personalities and places. While Farrell is imaginable as Lu Fox, Weisz is not the Georgie of the novel. Still, I will be first in line to see the novel on screen. It was a great read!
