Craig HillWhat do Catherine Zeta-Jones and I have in common?
October 26th 2006 14:16
We both love Rugby!!!
And you thought I was going to say...hmmm...what did you think I was going to say?
I am a Catherine Zeta-Jones fan. Say what you will about the woman, just say it to someone who will listen. Not only is CZJ Welsh (I have a thing for people of Cmyru (pronounced come-ree) and Alba...that be Wales and Scotland to ye all who cannae unner’stand)...she’s a rugby fan.
I was trawling for anything rugby and found this on Wikipedia;
“Coming Out is an upcoming 2006 comedy film...the film stars Alan Cumming* and Catherine Zeta-Jones, who will also be producing (her debut) it with her brother David A Jones**, who came up with the basis of the film.
A down-and-out Welsh rugby team is hit further by bad luck when their coach dies. The coaching duties are left to his son, who finds this out through his father's will. He (Alan Cumming) has no experience with rugby, and has previously earned his living as a cabaret performer, and now finds himself in charge of a rugby team.
Catherine Zeta-Jones plays a hairdresser who falls in love with the coach's brother as well as helping the two to rekindle their relationship. She (has) said of the film: “I grew up among rugby fanatics - the film is very close to my heart”
Unfortunately, I also found this at Movie & TV News @IMDb.com;
"Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones' planned musical(??) movie about her native Wales has been delayed because of the struggling US dollar....the film has been hit by the falling value of the US dollar against the British pound (the film's budget is in dollars).
Zeta-Jones' agents are also reportedly unhappy she has devoted so much time to an independent project without guaranteed earnings - she will take a share of profits rather than a salary.
The shooting schedule has been reduced to 42 days, but director Joel Zwick*** is confident the show will go on.”
Hmm...that was back in 2005. And 2006 is almost over.
It’s not going to happen is it?
It’s not fair. All the other codes (soccer, AFL, league) have movies to boast of. I suppose because the real thing is boring...I’m kidding!! Sort of. Kidding...and on and on and on...
*Actor; Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler in ‘X-Men 2’, ‘Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion’
**runs CZJ’s production company, Milkwood Films
***Director; ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’, ‘Mork and Mindy’

meanwhile you may have something on the movie front - for some reason it's always the most boring sports you could ever play that make for FANTASTIC movies. like baseball. it's a mystery.

Rugby World Cup 2007
Uh huh...baseball, grid-iron, basketball...these all look so intense and superfast and full-on....on film....it's because they're so slooowwww in real life...filming them is like fast forward...and these are American sports...of course they're going to get the flash Hollywood treatment.
Although I did love baseball in 'A League of Their Own' and 'Major League'...and basketball in 'Teen Wolf'...and grid-iron in 'Forrest Gump'...Run Forrest....
And I do find soccer boring but 'Bend it Like Beckham' was anything but.
Thanks for visiting TBIB. I'm off to visit you now...
