Crowe Denies WESTWORLD Involvement.

‘Robin Hood‘ star Russell Crowe has taken to his Twitter.com page to deny he’s set to star in a remake of Michael Crichton‘s sci-fi thriller remake ‘WESTWORLD‘.

Crowe reportedly signed up to a new version of the 1973 film, which was author Crichton‘s first outing as a big screen director and originally starred Yul Brynner as a gunslinging android at a fantasy theme park.

But he has shot down the rumours, insisting there is no truth to them.

He tweets:

“WestWorld purely a rumour, I’ve never been contacted about it.”

And Crowe also sets the record straight about claims he’s taking over from late fellow Aussie Heath Ledger in ‘Dirt Music‘ –  an adaptation of Tim Winton‘s award-winning book. He states the project is a long way from completion.

He adds:

“Dirt Music is still off in the never, never somewhere.”
