Russell Crowe to Takeover? | Coffs Coast Movies | Movie Reviews and Cinemas in Coffs Coast

13th July 2009

RUSSELL Crowe’s star billing as a Hollywood horseman might keep him in the saddle for a lead role that’s very close to home.

The Robin Hood star will be approached to play one of the lead roles in the rags to riches story immortalising the “people’s champion” Takeover Target.

Coffs Harbour trainer Joe Janiak while he was living in a caravan beside the Queanbeyan race track in 2003 when he bought Takeover Target.

Six years later and the broken down bay gelding that he paid $1250+GST for, is now famed as Australia's greatest ever sprinter.

Read what author Lyndall Crisp and Joe Janiak himself have to say about the film rumours in today's edition of the Coffs Coast Advocate.
