Garrett Hedlund and Kelly Macdonald to star in Dirt Music

August 4, 2018 by Gary Collinson

According to Deadline, Garrett Hedlund (Mudbound) and Kelly Macdonald (Boardwalk Empire) are in talks to star in an adaptation of Tim Winton’s Booker Prize-nominated novel Dirt Music.

The film is being produced by Wildgaze Films (Brooklyn) and Aquarius Films (Lion) and will see Macdonald portraying Georgie, a fragile woman who embarks on an illicit affair with a young poacher (Hedlund) in the Australian outback. However, when Georgie’s partner gets wind of the romance, a chase ensues between the two men across Australia’s remote and unforgiving terrain.

Buffalo Soldiers and Unthinkable helmer Gregor Jordan is directing Dirt Music from a script by the ever-busy Jack Thorne (Wonder, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child).

A film adaptation of the 2002 novel has been in the works for close to a decade now, with Phillip Noyce (Salt, Rabbit Proof Fence) previously attached to the director’s chair.
