Posted April 1, 200718 yr Sydney Morning Bugle 01.04.07 By Olaf Pliro Ex-Boybander Plans to Shock Film World British pop star Robbie Williams is being lined up to star in a remake of the classic Doris Day movie Calamity Jane. Moves are well underway to sign Robbie to reprise the Howard Keel role with an as yet unnamed female singer, rumoured to be Christina Aguilera, starring as Calamity. A spokesman for Robbie said last night ' He just loves the old show tunes from Calamity Jane. When he was a boy neighbours could hear the distinctive strains of 'The Black Hills of Dakota' coming from his bedroom window above the family pub. Robbie has made no secret of his wish to break into Hollywood and this will be a fantastic opportunity for him'. Martin Scorsese is set to direct the blockbuster which I understand will be filmed in North Yorkshire in 2008. Whip-crack-away Robbie!
April 1, 200718 yr OMG :o His spokesperson confirmed it. :o I don't know what to think of this, but if Martin Scorsese is directing it should be great :D
April 1, 200718 yr I have never seen the film, what is it about? Will he be singing? :lol: I really can't believe this, and when I first read it I just said to myself, "oh the usual Robbie is going to be acting c**p", but if his spokeperson said it was true then it must be true. And Xtina to star opposite? Oh dear :lol:
April 1, 200718 yr Author Exactly. I've no doubt this one is totally true. I'm so excited. :dance: And Martin Scorsese directing his first musical too. :o Bet he wouldn't have agreed to that if it hadn't have been starring Robbie. :wub:
April 1, 200718 yr This is wonderful!!!!! http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g107/supreme_album/Smileys/a040.gif http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g107/supreme_album/Smileys/a040.gif http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g107/supreme_album/Smileys/a040.gif
April 1, 200718 yr Author Well, his films always have guns in them. And there are guns in Calamity Jane. :unsure: Maybe he fancied a change. :huh:
April 1, 200718 yr Author I expect Martin saw Robbie riding that horse in the Feel video and realised he'd be perfect for the role. ^_^ And he does suit a cowboy hat. :heart:
April 1, 200718 yr my mother loves CJ the musical....im sure she'd be very interested in the remake Edited April 1, 200718 yr by Osiris
April 1, 200718 yr I hate to say this and of course I could be out on a loop here. BUT it is April the 1st you know. And why would they film it in North Yorkshire for goodness sake. I loved Calamity Jane but its all about Chicagie you know. The Windy City. US of A. North Yorkshire is more Wuthering Heights. Acutally Robbie would make a good Heathcliffe I think. Having put a dampner on it, I still think he should be in a films.lol Edited April 1, 200718 yr by Susie

April 1, 200718 yr Like Susie I'm pretty sure it's just another April Fools. Shame actually, some of those I'd like to be true. :( Seeing him on the big screen is something I'd love to see happening one day.
April 1, 200718 yr Why on earth would you hate April Fools day. It is hilarious :blink: But again, this is not a thread to discuss the first day of the months, it is a thread about Rob's film, to which a spokesperson has confirmed.
