Zeta Jones set to produce rugby inspired film in Wales
Hollywood star, Catherine Zeta Jones she loves her home country, Wales so much so that she is planning to make a film there. She has teamed up with her brother David - who runs movie studio Initial Entertainment - for producing a comedy about a gay rugby club boss.
‘The Legend of Zorro’ star explains, “It’s called ‘Coming Out‘ and it was born from me and my brother David sitting around reminiscing about Wales. She is also taking the help of Charlotte Church’s rugby player Gavin Henson, who will make a guest appearance in the film set around a struggling rugby club.
Zeta-Jones said of the film, “I grew up among rugby fanatics - the film is very close to my heart. It’s about this guy who is in musical theatre, who is from a little town in Wales and he goes to London, like I did, to pursue musical theatre as a teenager and he’s gay.”
“His father dies and leaves him the local rugby club in his will. He’s doing West Side Story and has to go back home and get all these fat, drinking, smoking Welsh guys into shape to win the rugby tournament.”
The film will shot in Llanelli, a town just 10 miles from Zeta-Jones’ home town of Swansea. But Zeta-Jones admits she’s struggling to get the project off the ground, “It’s hard to get the financing because I’m not starring in it. I just have a cameo role in it.”
