Oscar winner Russell Crowe is set to return to Queensland, Australia, for the action thriller 'Bear Country,' with cameras rolling this February.
The project reunites Crowe with “Unhinged” helmer Derrick Borte, who will direct from a script he penned with Daniel Forte, based on Thomas Perry’s novel “Strip.” The duo previously collaborated on “American Dreamer.” In “Bear Country,” Crowe portrays Manco Kapak, a veteran club owner whose plans for a peaceful retirement with his girlfriend are derailed when a masked assailant robs his establishment. Screen Queensland CEO Jacqui Feeney highlighted the production’s commitment to nurturing emerging talent through their Attachment Program, which provides paid, on-set training opportunities under industry veterans.
