Directed by Phillip Noyce (Catch a Fire) the drama will also star Oscar-winning actress Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener).
Dirt Music is set in Australia, and follows the story of Luther Fox, a broken man who makes his living as an illegal fisherman. His miserable life changes after he meets Georgie Jutland (Weisz), the wife of the most prosperous fisherman in the area.
Filming for Dirt Music will begin in a few weeks.
