POTENTIAL ACTORS SOUGHT FOR AUSTRALIAN EPIC
Auditions have been held across the Kimberley for an epic Australian motion picture to be filmed next year.

A Sydney casting agent has visited Kununurra, Fitzroy Crossing and Broome over the past few days looking for potential actors to play the role of a young Aboriginal boy and stockmen.

The auditions follow reports Australian director Baz Luhrmann will film a new movie on a Northern Territory cattle station, 200 kilometres from Kununurra, next year.

The Australian blockbuster is expected to star Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe.

Bradley Rosewood was among those who auditioned and says there was a fair bit of competition.
